I have been running Cups with OpenSuse 11.0+ successfully on a dual xeon system for some time until last weekend (Sept 13, 2008) update to 1.3.7 . (it was 1.37 before and its 1.3.7 still) Suddenly I no longer have printing privileges for any user or any program. Except I can print the test page from the web interface as root.
