I have seen some posts which say to execute (as root):
chattr -i /etc/cups/printers.conf
after commenting out the password line, to stop the automatic cups authentication from incorrectly changing it (due to some other cups authentication problem). If you have in fact done that at some time, you will get:
Hi,
I have seen some posts which say to execute (as root):
chattr -i /etc/cups/ printers. conf
after commenting out the password line, to stop the automatic cups authentication from incorrectly changing it (due to some other cups authentication problem). If you have in fact done that at some time, you will get:
lsattr /etc/cups/ printers. conf printers. conf
----i-------------- /etc/cups/
If you have the i flag set, the file cannot be deleted - even by root.
To fix it, execute:
chattr -i /etc/cups/ printers. conf
You should then get:
lsattr /etc/cups/ printers. conf printers. conf
------------------- /etc/cups/
