Hi,
actually you don't need the root password. You need the password of a
person with write permissions in /etc/cups, OR of a member of the 'lpadmin'
group.

Yes. CUPS rocks. I set it up in my local school for about 40 clients (run
SuSE 7.3 and Win98), I told SuSE to use 'xp' (that's the print servers
hostname ;) as CUPS server and *BONG* all printers were there. No local
drivers. No installation, nothing. (Win98 had to have local drivers but saw
them all via Samba as well. No problems.)
