CUPS password - resolved
« on: August 21, 2012, 12:59:17 PM »
Ok, here we go again.  Semi-solved one issue with my printer, now another.

Not that I use http://localhost:631/admin/ much to access CUPS, since I go through PCC, but I just tried to access it, and it asked for a password, and it wouldn't take my user=root and root password.  Wasn't that how it works?

I'm not too knowledgable about this, but if you leave off the /admin/ part you reach the cups config screen just fine. Is there a reason you need to use the /admin/?

I know, there probably isn't anything I could do through there that I couldn't do thru PCC.  I was a little miffed because I couldn't figure the other printer issue out fully, and here this happened.  I guess it really doesn't matter anymore.  I used to use it a lot more at the beginning of my linux journey until I realized what PCC could do.

Thanks for waking me up!
