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.
