Public bug reported: According to howto one should add cupsys user to the shadow group to make cups web interface work.
But when cupsys is not in the group it should at least produce a meaningful error message. That way one could search for the error on the web or even guess what is wrong if the message were descriptive. For me cups just asks for user/pass twice, shows a blank page, and does not perform the action (I was trying to add a printer). ** Affects: cupsys (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- when cupsys is not in the shadow group it does not produce error https://launchpad.net/bugs/54258 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
