Can't Change CUPS password
I am running CrunchBang based on Debian 6. I can't do anything printer related. It is saying I am unauthenticated. I have tried:
family@familydesktop:~$ sudo lppasswd -a family
Enter password:
Enter password again:
family@familydesktop:~$ sudo lppasswd -a root
Enter password:
Enter password again:
Yet I still can't add a printer. What do I do?

Can you provide us with the configuration file of cups?/etc/cups/cupsd.conf?

You're most likely not allowing certain types of access to your CUPS daemon. Take a look at the troubleshooting guide:
- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/printing-cups-troubleshooting.html
For example
You'll need entries like this to start:
# /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
# Default authentication type, when authentication is required...
DefaultAuthType Basic
DefaultEncryption Never # comment this line to allow encryption
# Allow access to the server from any machine on the LAN
<Location />
Order allow,deny
#Allow localhost
Allow 192.168.1.* # change to local LAN settings
</Location>
There are other permissions you'll potentially need to grant as well in this file.
