I tried something similar with cups 1.4.6-3. Here's what I did: 1. Visit <http://localhost:631/admin> with chromium. 2. Click "Add Printer". A dialog box appeared asking for a username and password. 3. Type my (unprivileged) username and password. The response: Add Printer Error Unable to add printer: Forbidden Going back and trying to click "Add Printer" again did not give the user/password dialog box again. The access log from the administration tab says localhost - - [25/Mar/2011:00:48:00 -0500] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 401 91 CUPS-Get-Devices successful-ok localhost - jrn [25/Mar/2011:00:48:00 -0500] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 403 91 CUPS-Get-Devices successful-ok localhost - jrn [25/Mar/2011:00:47:59 -0500] "POST /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1873 - - The error log says E [25/Mar/2011:00:48:00 -0500] Returning HTTP Forbidden for CUPS-Get-Devices (no URI) from localhost E [25/Mar/2011:00:48:00 -0500] [CGI] CUPS-Get-Devices request failed with status 401: Forbidden The configuration file says SystemGroup lpadmin so presumably I ought to add myself to group lpadmin. But in any event, the inability to get back to step 2 (the dialog box allowing me to choose a username and password) is puzzling. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
