> NAME
> lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords.
> SYNOPSIS
> lppasswd [ -a ] [ -g groupname ] [ -x ] [ username ]
> DESCRIPTION
> lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (username), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames, but only UNIX usernames are supported by the CUPS client programs (lp(1), lpr(1), etc.)
