= Introduction =

This guide is intended for Xubuntu and other users who cannot log into the CUPs web interface and would like to change their printer configuration with CUPs.

= Setting Up CUPs Web Interface =

First you need to add yourself to the {{{lpadmin}}} group. In terminal:
{{{
sudo usermod -aG lpadmin <username>
}}}

Last thing is to restart CUPs. This can be done by typing:
{{{
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
}}}
into the terminal.

To get to the CUPs web interface open up [[http://localhost:631/]] in your web browser. When asked for a user name and password you can use you log-in user-name and password.
