Subject: Error: client-error-not-authorized when adding a printer

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading to 1.1.23-7, CUPS is not more usable.
I had a working local raw printer, called "samsung", with 4 pending jobs, and it stopped working. "lpadmin -p samsung" give the error "client-error-not-authorized".
Purging cupsys and reinstalling it, I can no more add a printer. In
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf, I added "Allow From 192.168.*" (my local net)
below "Allow From 127.0.0.1" for "Location /" and "Location /admin".
In the web interface, I can log in, add a new printer, type in the name,
select the port, select the model driver ("Raw", "Raw Queue (en)");
then, "Continue" bring to a page with "Error: client-error-not-authorized".

Can you see any useful messages at /var/log/cups/error_log?

I had the same problem with an unstable/experimental system. The problem wa=
s,=20
that no /etc/cups/passwd.md5 existed. This error also appeared in the error=
=20
log.
I could solve this problem through typing "lppasswd -a". After this everyth=
ing=20
worked.
I think this should be done in some automatic way.

I hope i could help
