This is not responsive to your precise question, but here's what I believe to be the relevant section of my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, which you might compare with yours (I'm still getting the authentication dialog on an updated testing system): DefaultAuthType Basic WebInterface Yes <Location /> Order allow,deny </Location> <Location /admin> Order allow,deny </Location> <Location /admin/conf> AuthType Default Require user @SYSTEM Order allow,deny </Location> Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
