[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#667995: cupsd configuration: "cupsdAuthorize: Empty Basic password!"

[Helmar Gerloni]

Hi all,

I had the same problem today on my fresh Wheezy install: Trying to add a new 
printer in KDE's system-config-printer-kde makes the dialog hang forever.

The solution was to add the user to the group lpadmin:

usermod -a -G lpadmin MyUser

I had to logout/login from KDE, then adding a new printer worked fine.

Regards,    Helmar.
