Vielen Dank!

Thank you so much. Following the instructions,
I reverted again to the Suse 10.0
preinstalled cupsd.conf, added the LPP password
by using

lppasswd -g sys -a root

And (after restart of cups) could indeed log in as
root to cups on port 631.

I guess, if I understand this correctly, there was even no
need to have an LPP password for root; I could have just
put one in for a different user. Correct?
