    Hi Don,

    I suspect you have SuSE 8.2 rather than 9.0.
    because as Kenneth Schneider has repeatedly pointed out
    that during install of cups for SuSE 9.0
    (and on this list several times)
    Russbucket needed to run:

        lppasswd -a root

    Supply a password and he will then be able to make changes. See:
    http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Mar/3187.html

    He did that and it worked.
    IIRC, your other comments are valid,
    but without a cups password, you can't apply them in SuSE 9.0.

    See also:
    http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/09/jsmeix_print-einrichten-90.html

    Hope this clarifies the issue.
    Gar

PS  I am still running 8.2.  However, i put copy
of Kenneth's info in folder so when I install 9.0
I will remember to create a CUPS password.
