OK, a step I had never done so off I went...

I added my LAN to two spots in the cupsd.conf, and used the utility to create
an account. Oddly enough, web interface responds right away, and the account it
wants is the root account on the server, not the one I added. Ah, that's how it
always works from the server when I load X on the server... hhhhmmmm, and this
was so hard why!? I wonder if lppasswd created a file so that it would exist
(like smbpasswd creates the file the first time) and that is what was really
needed? And why it insists on root... ??? L8R!

Note: Though I have had that Summer sinus fun for a week now, enough DASD
happened to be around the office so dug into my main server saying bye bye to
Win2K Srv SP2 etc... and it now runs Debian Sarge 3.1a. Just got sick and tired
of that beast being THE ONLY Win2K Srv I have to deal with, annoying to
properly test certify against Linux when it is only against test servers and I
don't live with it 24x7. So, dust be flying around here... ;-)

Thanks!
