Hey Johannes Just wanted to let you know we're not ignoring this.
Don and I have been kind of scratching our heads around this. Don has implemented a fix that should work, however it seems that SUSE is locking down the localhost:631 admin interface. By lockdown, I mean the following. With a fresh install of SUSE, a user cannot access/use the web interface at localhost:631. It seems the www documented 'work arounds' are to add a user to the lppasswd system, or edit the cupsd.conf. We also realized that while our fix did not cause the system to hang, and did pop up the dialog to enter your user password, the user/password would not processed and we were getting authentication errors in our cups log. While looking through the cupsd.conf file though, I gained some insight and added my user to the lp group. This resolved what you described. And no dialog for password was needed. We also noticed that YaST was working also normally. So I think we're at a point where we were wondering... 1. What is SUSE's take on the web interface, and what the prefered method of management is... 2. If the management method is YaST, how might we use that? 3. What is the intent of the lp group? Anyway...these are just somethoughts I've had around this. I think Don is curious about this and possibly some other stuff. I'll let him respond as he needs/wants. Thanks for your time. jh Johannes Meixner wrote: > Hello, > > currently I run hplip-1.7.2 on my openSUSE 10.2 32-bit workstation > dowloaded from http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/ > > When I run hp-toolbox as normal user and try to disable > printing or reject jobs for a print queue, the GUI hangs up > and I get on the terminal from where I started it > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] hp-toolbox > > HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 1.7.2) > HP Device Manager ver. 9.0 > [...] > Password for jsmeix on localhost? > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > But there is no password dialog on the GUI - it has completely > hang up and there is no way to abort it (except the kill command). > > The same works well when I run it as root on localhost. > > > Kind Regards > Johannes Meixner ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
