Right, that's how it should be. > Not today, "Unable to copy ppd file" is the error message, and my log > has: > > E [23/Oct/2008:18:32:11 +0200] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized This is unfortunately happening very often, and admittedly very confusing. I guess the browser does the first request, gets this back, authenticates, and sends the next response. To find out what's wrong with the PPD file, I need the full log, preferably with debugging. Can you please do cupsctl --debug-logging and attempt the operation again? Then please do cupsctl --no-debug-logging and send /var/log/cups/error_log. > I have also noticed that a lot of files from the packages have > permission 600 now: > > $ ls -al /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp > -rwx------ 3 root root 25K 11.

In experimental it is at least fixed to be 744, so that it's world readable.
