CUPS is proving to be an on-going nightmare for me. Yesterday I tar'ed up my home directory, move it to a new machine, and promptly blew away my old 10.3 installation (I wanted to rid myself of OS 9 and free up disk space). Once the upgraded was finished I untar'ed my home directory and everything worked - except CUPS.

Now when I go to the URL http://127.0.0.1:631 to configure my printers I cannot get passed the popup window that asks for username and password.

You'll need to play with your cupsd.conf file in /etc/cups.

Here's the pertinent snippet from mine:

<Location /admin>
#
# You definitely will want to limit access to the administration functions.
# The default configuration requires a local connection from a user who
# is a member of the system group to do any admin tasks. You can change
# the group name using the SystemGroup directive.
#


AuthType None
AuthClass Anonymous

## Restrict access to local domain
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1

#Encryption Required
<Limit GET>
#AuthType Basic
AuthType Shadow Hash
AuthGroupName admin
AuthClass System
</Limit>
</Location>

The AuthClass System will allow system admins to manage cups.
