I have suspected that for some time....and from your advice, I now think I know why this particular computer is acting this way with CUPS.I wonder if there are permission issues with the web content?
When I set up the other computer, I joined the main user, me, to the roots group: for this computer, I joined the main user to the wheel group. Furthermore, I am using that newer FuryBSD desktop (on both), and it will not allow me to log into the desktop as root from this computer.
When I attempt that, nothing occurs.Two things to try:
1) Try https://localhost:631 and click the web page tab to login as admin.
Cookies are not disabled.It will place a cookie in your browser. If cookies are disabled that could also cause problems.
So far, I can't do that on this computer. It just plain won't let me....or I don't remember how to do that. It has been around 20 years since I last used Unix (HP-UX server) in my work situation, and I am having to relearn a lot. In addition, I was never really very good at it then anyway.2) Try a root login in a X window and start the browser as root. You should not have to provide additional authentication as root and should have access to all files. Once you get the printer configured, you should have access to it as a user.
I will research adding a user to the root group., I suspect that will fix it.
