Fixing CUPS login problems on SUSE Fixing CUPS login problems on SuSE SUSE: What Password Do I Use At The Web Interface? SuSE defaults to using Digest passwords and "RunAsUser yes", which means you have to use the lppasswd command to add accounts and passwords. To add a user named Steve: lppasswd -a Steve Then enter and confirm a password. SUSE does not follow the normal CUPS defaults and the lppasswd information doesn't follow changes to the normal accounts, causing a lot of confusion. Any problems using this set up should be addressed to SUSE. To set SUSE to the standard default settings of CUPS: 1) Goto /etc/cups/cups.conf 2) Change in the AuthType: AuthType Basic 3) Change RunAsUser to No.
