CUPS configuration

Hi,

I'm running SuSE 9.2 Pro and have been setting up printers using Yast2. I've tried to setup CUPS to manage the printing, but I don't seem to be making any progress because the system asks for a user Login. I have never entered a login and password for print setup and so I'm stuck.

Any assistance on how to get around this is welcome.

okupion.

RE: CUPS configuration

Enter your superuser (root) login and password.

Live and let live - use the search engine.

Thanks wysota. I tried that earlier, but it didn't work.

try lmpasswd to set a user account and passwd that cups understands.

man lmpasswd

cups passwd

Also, ensure that cupsd will accept a passwd

in your cupsd.conf file, set your AuthType for Admin to BasicDigest

<Location /admin>
AuthType BasicDigest
AuthClass Group
AuthGroupName sys

## Restrict access to local domain
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
