We already told you several times, several people, how to do it, you do not listen.
First, define a password as explained already. No, not even root can enter without a new password for the printer:
lppasswd -g sys -a some_admin_username
Then, for instance, go to
and simply tell your printer to print. Click, click.
I did what you said. I don't know if the pasword really changed or not, but the command http://localhost:611/ produces the reply No such file or directory (running from su root)
http://localhost:631 is not a command it is a web address you enter into your web browser to access the configuration pages for printers. Enter the username/password you set in the lppasswd command to enter admin mode.

Well, the password thing seemed not to have worked. When I went to the print manager, and it asked for a password, it burped and said it didn't recognise the pw. I gave it the pw that I put in in the lppasswd dialog, that you provided above. Why in hell Linux needs a password to print something that can be seen on the screen is absolutely beyond me. And why that password is different from the root pw is even further beyond me. I may have to put some version of Windows on the machine so that I can print out mail that I need for work that I do.
