printer wont install.
I'm completely new to Linux. I am using Linspire 4.5 distro. I'm trying to install a Lexmark z12 printer. When I double click the printer Icon I'm taken to the Printer set up wizard. After filling out all the info, a test printer button appears. When I click that a pop up box appears and asks me for my cups password. What is cups and how do I get a password to it.

CUPS = common unix printing system. It's asking for the password for the root user. Or whatever root is called on Linspire.

XDwarf, Suse does funny things with the CUPS password. See the link below.
