Hi! With the newest GNOME on FreeBSD (2.20) has anyone had luck using the GNOME cups clients to add/configure CUPS printers? My attempts all fail. I checked out the FAQs and browsed through this list but can't find anything relevant. It might have something to do with the authentication to root when I run it as a normal user: GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. Despite the message, the 'gnome-cups-add' interface proceeds to show the proper dialogs and everything seems normal - till the end - the printer is NOT added, and the error message is: ** (gnome-cups-add:20755): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1028 I researched that message, and got lots of hits, but nothing fits. It could be a bug upstream, and if so - I just want to know that. Using the web-based CUPS interface to add/configure/etc printers works fine, even without "root" access, so this is how I've isolated it to the GNOME CUPS clients. Thanks for any pointers. Yousif
