Cups with web Interface.

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I have two systems running cups

A: cups 1.10 and Caldera WS 3.1
B: cups 1.18 and Gentoo 1.4rc-1

My printer is on a Lantronix print server and has been working on A as well 
as from Windows machines.

I installed cups on B and used the web interface (http://localhost:631)  to 
setup a printer on it that points to the Lantronix also.  The setup was 
successull and B's webmin shows

printer at A   <- the lantronix printer as installed on A
printer <- The lantronix printer as installed on B

When I am on the web interface on machine B I can print test pages to 
printer at A but when I do a test (from the web interface) to printer I get a 
page showing "you do not have access to this resource".  However, I can run 
lp -d printer testprint.ps from a terminal window and it prints.  I can 
also drag documents from the file manager to the printer and they print.

It appears that the web interface thinks I don't have permission to access 
printer from machine B.  When I started the web interface I put in root as 
user and it's password.  Note that I can delete printers, add printers, 
configure them but just can't print a test page!

Any ideas on what's happening and how to fix it?

Thanks.
