As root and user, I have tried every possible variation of lppasswd and all I get is: "lppasswd: Unable to open password file: Permission denied" Consequently http://localhost:631 returns a 404 error. In the past I have never had to mess with cups. I have just set it up and it works. Now this and numerous other issues I have had getting 10.2 working properly, is frustrating the hell out out of me. Can anyone offer any suggestions how to resolve this? TIA Dave
