[LUNI] CUPS printing issues

[Walter]

I believe the web interface is independent of apache and the web server functionality is provided by 
cups itself.  It was my understanding that IPP was based on http and therefore that's why cups has 
http support(in addition to being able to provide a nifty web interface).

  As for passwords, you should remember that this is basically a webserver, so you have two choices, 
basic and digest. Basic  authentication, which I believe is default, uses the systems users and 
passwords stored in /etc/passwd or wherever.  Digest uses it's own password file in 
/etc/cups/passwd.md5 file. To add users to this file you need to use the lppasswd program. To verify 
what type of password authentication is being used look for the "AuthType" directive in the 
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file.

For further details check the "System Administrators Manual" located at 
http://localhost:631/documentation.html or alternatively somewhere on the cups.org site.

I think that's it. I'm empty. Good luck!
