Well, since about 6.04 of the ubuntu thread, its always popped up with
the root line filled with "root", and about 15 dots that represents the
missing root pw. I just change them both to me & my pw and it sorta
works.
Explaining the "sorta" would be TL;DR and has been posted many times and
just as many times ignored. Both on this list and the cups list.
