Now, when I browse there, it does not prompt me. I guess it assumes I
want to do administrative things as my normal non-privileged user. I
suppose I could add my non-priv user to lpadmin, but I'd rather be
prompted for a privilege escalation.
How can I get CUPS to prompt me again for the admin user/password?
Thanks!
No, on further tinkering, that doesn't seem to be quite the issue. I'm
getting different Home pages at various times, and I just now realized
that if I start at localhost:631, sometime I wind up at an IPADDRESS:631
which is not the IPAddress of my localhost box. Then if I try to browse
to http://MYLOCALIP:631 I get a "can't establish connection to the
server at THATADDRESS".
It seems that CUPS thinks my localhost IP address is something different
than what it actually is.
