Under Squeeze, I wasn't in the lpadmin group but whenever an adminstrative task was attempted a simple authenication dialogue appeared. After authentication as root, administration was allowed. Under Wheezy, no dialogue appears. So I'd wonder that CUPS seeks authentication but can't obtain it. Was the authentication service which CUPS relies upon broken or removed in the grade from Squeeze to Wheezy? The dialogue was a drab rectangle with fields for user and password. Can anyone tell what software made that? Otherwise I'll set up an old Squeeze system and work to identify it. Thanks, ...
