A few thoughts:
- You might want to look in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to make sure you are allowing
admin changes. Remote administration will require a modification of the
default, but make sure you have at least "Allow @ LOCAL. - When you tried to add a user with lppasswd were they in the lp group? If not
add them and try again. Also if you changed root’s password at some time that
may need to be changed with lppasswd. (I assume that when you install, the
installer adds the root password to the lppassword file, but I’m not positive
of this.) - lppasswd requires passwords to be at least 6 characters long and include both
alpha and numeric values. It should complain about that but perhaps for some
reason it just denied access.
Not sure if any of this will help, but it’s worth a try.
