problem setting up printing in KDE [resolved]

renners1 · 2005-09-14 14:28:37

Hi, I'm having a problem setting up my printer in KDE.... everything goes fine right to the end of the KDE "Add printer" wizard, at which point it asks for authorisation... this fails no matter what user/password I use, and even fails with root!
I added myself as an authorised user earlier in the wizard.

EDIT:
Looks like my user name is not authorised to access CUPS, how do I fix this please?

cheers, Renners

is this problem only in kde, or are you also not able to setup printing using the web-interface: http://localhost:631 ?

ah... web interface works a treat, thanks very much pressh!

Must have missed that bit in the wiki :oops:

furthermore.... could be a KDE bug, cos I logged on to CUPS web interface with root no problem, but root was failing from the KDE wizard. ah well, such is life!
