lppasswd problem

[russbucket]

Reinstalled complete system since disk failure. Using SUSE10.2, Cups
1.2.7-12.1. When I put in password with lppassword username, the the
password. I can see it changing in /etc/cups/passwd.md5. When I try adding
a printer thru localhost and enter info, to add printer. It says
authentication failed. Same when I try with root. As best I can tell
everything has correct permissions. 

Apache2 is set for cookie authorities and appears to be working.

Any pointers or ideas on where to look?

Thanks

Russ
