kde printer gui

So I was running the printer program on kde and when I try to add a printer at the end of all the stuff when I try to save it says "the password may be incorrect"

I have no Idea what password it is talking about since I never inputed one.

{The kde printer program is a gui of cups.}

Re: kde printer gui

I think it is just a gui for cups. it is called "printing"

when I open the program the title is printer-configuration- localhost

Re: kde printer gui

Any CUPS configuration needs the root password. I'll be that's what it's asking for.

Re: kde printer gui

Is there any way to fix it so it doesn't. Why would kde put a program on there that can't work.

1. you can't login to kde as root
2. It doesn't ask me for a password it just says it is wrong.

any suggestions?
Could this just need some configuration in CUPS?

Re: kde printer gui

nm I just found out that my lexmark printer doesn't come with any ppd file to allow cups to work with it. what a rip.

Re: kde printer gui

For point #1 above, just put http://127.0.0.1:631 in your web browser. That's the CUPS GUI interface. And, which Lexmark printer?
