Well, the password thing seemed not to have worked. When I went to the print manager, and it asked for a password, it burped and said it didn't recognise the pw. I gave it the pw that I put in in the lppasswd dialog, that you provided above. Why in hell Linux needs a password to print something that can be seen on the screen is absolutely beyond me. And why that password is different from the root pw is even further beyond me. I may have to put some version of Windows on the machine so that I can print out mail that I need for work that I do.
