My user is called printadmin:
{
"name" = ( "printadmin", "printadmin" );
"uid" = ( "1500" );
"expire" = ( "0" );
"home" = ( "/var/empty/" );
"shell" = ( "/usr/bin/false" );
"gid" = ( "80" );
"realname" = ( "printadmin" );
"change" = ( "0" );
"_writers_passwd" = ( "printadmin" );
"generateduid" = ( "15AFFF2A-DF11-11D8-81C7-000A95BB32AE" );
"authentication_authority" = ( ";ShadowHash;" );
"passwd" = ( "********" );
}

nothing.

As soon as I switch to basic authentication (like below), I can't get in.

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All

Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From localhost
Allow From 192.168.0.*

#AuthClass Anonymous
#AuthType None
AuthClass System
AuthType Basic
</Location>

It's very odd. Out of interest: if the office got a printer with a network card, would we still need CUPS?

thanks for your patience!
Tom
