Needs printer sharing enabled?
Authored by: Anonymous on Aug 27, '02 12:35:01PM
I cannot connect to the CUPS web interface unless Printer Sharing is enabled in the Sharing preference pane of the System Preferences program.

Anyone who can't get that step to work should enable Printer Sharing and then try again.

Also, the above comment may be in error. I have no problem accessing the CUPS page from IE with the URL http://localhost:631 -- no need for the user and pass information. Perhaps this is necessary for non-administrative users, though.

That was my first thought, so I logged back in as "root" but the permission thing persisted, until I added my user and pswd as noted above. Thanks for the share printer tip...
