OLD Description for this bug :
Hi.

I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon". When I click on "System -> Administration -> Printing", at the end of the "defining printer" process, I am taught to enter a password to contact the (CUPS) server. My password doesn't work. I can though open a session, configure my system as I wish, and write this bug report ;) !

I think I found the origin of this bug. Let me explain : the first user I create during the installation process is, say, toto, with password azerty (french user ;) !) After reboot, I log in the system as toto, and create a second user, say titi, password qsdfgh. I use the first user as a "generic administration account". The second user account is an account for real work. For my own account on my own computer, I give myself administrator's rights.

If, in the "printing configuration" interface, I fisrt click on "Go to server", and set "user name" to toto, and then use toto's password, everything works fine. I can define and use the printer. If I use the predefined user (titi), it's impossible to finish the declaration process.

Regards, Al.

Sorry. Administrator's rights doesn't imply that the user titi is a member of the lpadmin group. Adding titi to the lpadmin group makes everything work. Perhaps a tip : add an info in the GUI ?
