cups on 11.23

[Nyck_1]

I have cups installed on one of my 11.23 Itanium servers and when I attempt to add a new printer its prompts for a login. So I enter the root login details and it does not allow me to log in, I have reset the root password, tried with a different user and still not luck. Has anyone come across this issue and if so how do you resolve it???

I have managed to get round it by adding the printer on a linux server and then copied across the printer.conf file across to the Itanium server and it works.

Hi,

Check lppasswd is there or not if yes then do like

lppasswd -a username

Then enter and confirm a password.

Then try to login with this username and passwd.

I'm afraid that I have already tried this, I created a new account with lppasswd, restarted cups and tried to login with the new account but it would not allow me. Out of interest when u create a new user with lppasswd does it update a file?
