Joe, Great, thank you. installed 1.2.11 now from given repo. :) Okay, then had to go thru the "new" conf file to find ghow I can enable remote administration via webbrowser. changes <Location /> added "Allow 192.168.0.*" as a new line <Location /admin> added "Allow 192.168.0.*" as a new line <Location /admin/conf> added "Allow 192.168.0.*" as a new line [save and exit] [restart /etc/init.d/cups] but I'm still not able to login to "http://192.168.0.2:631"; What went wrong here, what did I forget?
