client-error-not-authorized

[Igor]

Thanks Russ,

The version that I've downloaded was apparently the latest (I got it via CVS and updated it, as the instructions stated).
Now I've tried an earlier version 1.1.22. This version doesn't have this problem (I have others but I won't bug you till I give it a couple of days :))

So, any people who have a client-error-not-authorized problem (via web), or a "x: not authorized!" (via shell), should attempt the version 1.1.22 instead.

If any CUPS developers hang out here, they should become aware of this issue, as it is very annoying, and I couldn't find a way to get rid of it.
