Why not use ssh to connect to the box and then use lpstat -t to show the status of all the printers.
Did you use lppasswd -g sys
to reset the password? Was there a possible syntax error when you reset it? Also try rccups restart to see if that helps. yes I did use lppasswd -g sys to reset. If you will see in my first message I never get asked to log into the web interface since I first did that before the problem. I have restarted cups with rccups restart an also by killing it with killall cups an restarting it. I might try rebooting the machine but that will require me coming back up after hours to try on saturday or sunday. Plan to do that
I will start using that if I'm at my workstation, but I'm out in the plant in the warehouse I do not have ssh avalible to me on the windows workstations like I do on mine in my office. So the web interface is a nice thing to have an something that my boss can do that is simple when im out of office. He is not linux smart an does not care to know the command line stuff. He barely knows how to shutdown the machine an bring it back up. this sunday or early monday morning before anyone logs into server. Thanks for the help an info Ken, you have been a help to me in past several times an I appreciate it very much. jack
