I can't get to that, I am not asked any user/password.
http://localhost:631/ works but none of the links from there like
http://localhost:631/admin/ etc.

I can't do that, I am not asked any user/password. (See my original
post).

Thank you. But the procedure stops at http://localhost:631 . I can't
get anywhere when I click on manage printers. The browser is stuck to
the page and trying to connect to something. Finally it give
connection time out.

Mine is:

ciobica:# lpinfo -v
lpinfo: cups-get-devices failed: client-error-forbidden
Exit 1

as explained in my original post.



Thank you all for your help.
