1. Installed Fedora 24 (64 bit) on Intel Quad computer
2. localhost:631/printers accepts password, but all operations are
forbidden. Cannot add or modify the printer. (admin/modify = forbidden)
3. I completely reinstalled the system, loaded NO exta drivers and
localhost:631/printers displays "forbidden" for all actions including
"Add Printer".
4. Despite recognizing the password, it acts like it is failing to
recognize 'superuser' status and thus rejecting all efforts at
modification.
