cups is driving me crazy . . .

[dep]

quoth Tom Wilson:

| I'm using 9.1 myself and printing via a yast setup is fine.  My
| printers are networked via hp jetdirect boxes.  Don't know if that
| makes a difference vs a local printer setup or anything else.

can't imagine that it would. it just won't print worth a toot here, 
alas.

| I also heard that you can use lppasswd to set the password to manage
| cups/printing in suse.  I haven't tried it myself as yast worked
| fine.

i just did this and it seemed to take, but it threw an odd error:

lppasswd: user "root" and group "sys" do not exist.

any idea what in the world *that* would be about?
