I have now changed that to AuthType Digest, with the result that I can now access /jobs. I still have the same problem with lp and lpq, though. > It should accept your Unix password.

It sounds like you have /jobs set to AuthType Basic / AuthClass User; which I believe is the default. It should accept your Unix password. Are you using some other sort of authentication, such as NIS or ldap? If not, I would strace your attempts at using lp to see just what the hell cups is doing ... like: strace lp filename -- _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ ( t | i | m | @ | i | t | . | k | p | t | . | c | c ) \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ GPG key fingerprint = 1DEE CD9B 4808 F608 FBBF DC21 2807 D7D3 09CA 85BF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Problem with CUPS: need to enter password for lp and lpq several times
Hi, I'm using CUPS (cupsys-1.1.20final+rc1-10) in Sarge and have a problem using any functions that require authentication. If I want to print a document using lp, I have to enter my password three times before it is accepted. If I want to query the status of the printer queue using lpq, I have to enter the password five (usually) or four (rarely) times. I see similar issues when I'm trying to access the web interface. I can login to the main menu without problem, but if I try to access the jobs listing, I am prompted for the password for what seems to be an infinite number of times. I am quite certain that my mistyping the password over and over again is not the cause of this problem. :) Any ideas?
