Thanks for the info there Chris. I've just tried logging onto
http://littlegeek:631/printers/, and although I log on ok, I'm seeing this
error message :

"Unable to get printer status (client-error-forbidden)!"

The printer is set up ok otherwise, and I can view jobs in the queue. But
because of that error, I can't do anything.

It also warns me to use system-config-printer to edit anything.

I don't understand the error as I am logged in, but not properly ?

Regards,

Pete.
