[cups] lpform failing, password not recognized

[Johnnie W Adams]

Hi, folks,

     From one of my users:

I was taught to issue a command similar to the following:
lpform lineprint2 -Pls139 outputfile.txt

lineprint2 is a form
-Pls139 designates the print queue ls139
outputfile.txt is what needs to be printed.

When I issue this command, it prompts me thusly:
Password for <user id> on localhost?
It does not accept my password

When it fails, I get:
 /usr/bin/lpr: Error - The printer or class does not exist.
lpform error: /usr/bin/lpr -h returned error code 1

     I've done what I know to do for him. Do any of you have ideas?

Thanks,

     John A
