In this case I was trying to differentiate that it's the root username and password for the whole machine, not just some login for cups. > I should have asked, "What is the format (syntax and/or semantics) of > the 'root username'?" > > I see now that I am getting a *Fatal Error* at startup time: > > "Fatal error - Cannot bind to lpd port '515'" Ah, that's some helpful information. Do you perhaps have lpd running in the background or something? (ps ax | grep lpd will let you check that). Also, "netstat -nvl --program | grep 515" when run as root will show you what your machine thinks is listening on port 515. On my machine, it says inetd is listening on 515, which indeed it should be. It then calls cups when a print job starts comin' down the queue. > Maybe *this* is why my print spooler is not working.... hmm... Didn't you say it was working except for stair-stepped text once before? Did you change something since then?
