Hi everyone,

I go to http://localhost:631/printers (or http://127.0.0.1:631/printers), then click to the button "Configure Printer" (of the printer already installed by using Yast2), then a small window appears, asking for username and password. I use username root and root's password, but I can't enter, it repeats asking the username and password.
What to do next?

Actually I cannot enter any pages that CUPS asks username and password for.

Some infos:

$ rpm -qa | grep cups
cups-libs-1.1.19-75
cups-1.1.19-75
cups-drivers-1.1.19-52
cups-drivers-stp-1.1.19-52
cups-client-1.1.19-75

$ rccups status
Checking for cupsd: running

Thanks in advance.

I use SuSE 9 and I can't do this either. It might be blocked by default. Why not use the printer tool in YAST2 instead?

How to unblock it?
I cannot find a way to configure the printer, for example to print two faces of a paper, which is supported by the driver.

Try this:
1. Start the Control Center (KDE)
2. Go to Peripherals/Printers
3. Click on the admin mode button and log on as root
4. Choose the tab Instances
5. Edit for example the Default instance, I believe you can change driver settings there.

Hope this helps.

I had that problem and I eidted the /etc/cups/cups.conf file to turn off the login process.

I gave a look at /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, but I could not find where to turn off the login process. Please tell me how to edit that file.
Thanks in advance.

Simple. Look at the help files @ http://localhost:631
