I get a message to put in my username and pasword. I have only used

Hi Doug,

Here's what I think may be a related item from my personal 'hardware tips'
archive:

As root, in a console run "lppasswd -a <username>", resulting in a prompt
for a password followed by a prompt to verify it. The password must be 6
characters long and must contain at least one letter and one number.

Then, as that user, connect to the cupsd admin port, http://localhost:631.
(It is not necessary to restart cups after creating the cups account for
this user.) Click on "Printers", black button along the top row of the
page. Find the appropriate printer, and click on the "Configure printer"
button; you will be prompted for a username/password, which you have just
added with lppasswd. Once you are authenticated, confirm/adjust your
printer settings and click "Continue" to finish the task.

hth & regards,

Carl
