hi,

Although you can use YaST to configure a printer going through the menus using PrintManager will work.
Did you add a "printer admin" first? You need to add an admin using
lppasswd -a <username> username can be any name but you need to add one first as the root user.
Ya I did add a user using the following command lppasswd -a pringadmin and then gave the passwd. No probs. I invoked the Print Manager again. But still the same problem, as given in the original mail. It still hangs.
Also check if the PrinterManager window has an administrator button. If it does you will need to push that button first in order to add a printer.
I didn't see any button for the administrator on the window. I guess usually the appl asks for the passwd before you can use it, right? Correct me if I am wrong.
If you still have problems let us know.
Kindly go through the other mail I sent to the list regarding the messages in the log of Yast2. I think that may help. Regards, Chaitanya. Indian Inst. of Science. http://www.iisc.ernet.in __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Make Yahoo! your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
