last week i was given this advice, have not tried it yet since my printer is giving me another problem as well

Try this in terminal:

sudo adduser cupsys shadow

sudo adduser <yourusername> lpadmin

sudo sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

http://localhost:631/

That should help you get into the web interface with your username and password.  Use any web browser to get into CUPS.


Hope that helps!

Take care,
