Hi,

I am rearly new to CUPS and went through some documentation. I want to print to a printer. Let's say the URL will be http://www.minihouse.eu/printers/IBM InfoPrint 1130 Vracht/.printer and the user credentials are:
USER: MHNL\MARK_Printer
PASS: testing123

Through the documention I found out that I need to do something with the cupsd.conf file and add a location like:

<Location /printers/MNH_MARK-Printer>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass User
</Location>

But where do I or how do I add the credentials so CUPS will login into the printer? Or am I doing everything wrong?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Mark
