cups problems, password neede, no localhost:631

[pksa]

I still have the same problem when trying to configure my local printer.

In yast, when I try test print, it says: "cups(File)DoRequest error: client-error-not-authorized".
In prompt mode yast asks for password but neither root nor user are correct?
I tried lppasswd. Doesn change much, unfortunatelly.
When I try to add printer in KDEprint it first says that request is too long and then during the test printing following message apears:

cupsdoprint -P 'Can' -J 'KDE Print Test' -H 'localhost:631' -U 'root' -o ' multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-uncollated-copies orientation-requested=3' '/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' : execution failed with message:
client-error-request-value-too-long
---------------------------------------

Perhaps the followning is more important:
Wneh I try to set up printer in yast prompt mode, when saving the new configuration it says
"root password for localhost needed"

I can not also access htpp://localhost:631/ becouse of some access problems.

May someone give directions.

well the proper passwd to use with the cups gui at 127.0.0.1:631 (localhost:631) is
user: root
and
password: root passwd

Basically, Suse has encrypted the root password for CUPS for security reasons.

You can find the link on Suse site or I think it's been posted here a while back.

*edit* just noticed your lppassword.

Did you do

lppasswd -g sys -a root

??

I tried 127.0.0.1:631 but the message is "Could not connect to remote server"
I also tried lppasswd with that parameters. No change.

pksa, sounds like cups isnīt running.

type

ps aux and see if the cupsd daemon is running.

If not start it from the Yast control centre or type cupsd.
