    Prob with CUPS

    Just tried to access CUPS via the browser http://localhost:631, got the main page but when I try to do administration it asks for a username and password. In the past this has always been the root user but it's now coming up as 'authentication failed'



    Heeeeeeelllpp!!!!

    Have uninstalled and installed but still the same.

    Any ideas?

    Check in your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and see what authentication type that is configurerd
