cups password
i know i thought this has been answered in other places but for some reason all of the passwords i've found through google and the forum search aren't working.
I want to share a printer connected to my puppy machine to a windows 7 machine on my network, the setting looks like its there in the cups administrator page and I check it then click change settings but i get prompted for a username/password and everything i've tried does not work.
i've tried:
root
woofwoof
woofwoof
root
I've changed my password using 'passwd root' in terminal and then trying that, tried a lot of different ones after changing it and nothing is working.
all of the suggestions i've seen haven't worked.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Lupu is not my regular Puppy, but I tested it and could not find a login/password that worked. This problem has already been reported but I couldn't find a solution in the forum.
However, I found two solutions that look good.
1. Downgrade to CUPS 1.3.11 from here. Just install items 1,2 and 5. (Whenever I try the newer CUPS 1.4, I find something wonky about it.)
You can declare a printer shareable with the usual "root/woofwoof" login.
2. Stay with CUPS 1.4 but manually edit the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf as follows:
Change Line 19 from "Listen Localhost:631" to "Port 631"
After Line 22, insert the line "BrowseAddress @LOCAL"
After Line "<Location />, insert the line "Allow @LOCAL"
Then restart CUPS with the command: /etc/init.d/cups restart

Which model do you have? Which PET did you use - the pixma-backend update or the scangearmp package?Nooblet0218 wrote:...that .pet helped me get the scanner running
It is possible to network scanners - SANE comes with a daemon named saned that supposedly handles this. But it may require some other components that Puppy is missing.

i used the backend .pet, with the Canon mp470 version, worked like a charm
And I used the first solution, downgrading the CUPS version.
That worked well! i'm able to share it to my ubuntu running desktop down the hall. but i'm having a bit of trouble getting the windows 7 laptop to see the printer. All of the autodetect settings aren't working so i'm trying to find it using tcp/ip.
The ip/port that my ubuntu computer says my printer is on is 192.168.1.7:631
so i put that into the w7 printer wizard, i selected the canon mp 470 driver, but i cannot print the test page.
I read somewhere that i should use some hp officejet driver, maybe that's what i need to do?
and thank you for the help

I did an edit of cupsd.conf to gain administrator access without having to give a usename and password to save changes.rcrsn51 wrote:Lupu is not my regular Puppy, but I tested it and could not find a login/password that worked.
