Greetings. We recently just updated (via a clean install) a server to SL 5.2, x86_64. The system had previously had a number of print queues, but in the interest of getting home at a finite time on the day of the upgrade, we set up only the queue for the printer that is most heavily used. I don't recall the details, but I certainly don't remember that there was anything extraordinary about the process of setting up the one print queue. Today we attempted to revisit the issue of the print queues. To do so, we logged in as root at the console, typed startx, and then ran system-config-printer (both from a terminal window and by choosing it from the menu). In both cases we get a pop-up message that tells us: Not authorized The password may be incorrect, or the server may be configured to deny remote administration. Hmmm. I don't know which password would be incorrect. And I don't understand the "remote" part. We're logged in as "root" when this happens, and we're logged in from the console. To compound the mystery, we DO have the one print queue happily running. I can't imagine how else we would have set it up. If you have any thoughts about this, please pass 'em along. Thanks. - Mike -- Michael Hannon mailto:[log in to unmask] Dept. of Physics 530.752.4966 University of California 530.752.4717 FAX Davis, CA 95616-8677
