Package: base
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

1. Leave root password blank at install (first user is "ruser" and has administration privileges)
2. Login as "ruser" and try to add printer through web interface or system-config-printer-kde (nothing works)
3. In webinterface the buttons Find and Add don't work at all, the system-config-printer-kde hangs 
4. Error log entries appear in /var/log/cups/error_log: "cupsdAuthorize: Empty Basic password!"
5. Add rootuser to lpadmin (I used KUser) and restart
6. Adding printer works

I'm not sure if this is intentional or it's a bug, but it could be a major showstopper for new users.

Best Regards,
Andrej

Leaving aside the excursions through cookie-land and KDE system settings
there is no problem to solve if /usr/share/doc/libcups2/README.Debian.gz
has been read. The substance of this report is about using lpadmin for
administrative rights to CUPS and it is described in that document. It is
also mentioned in the README in /usr/share/doc/cups/ in a more general
context. Hence closing this report.

Regards,

Brian.
