Is there another way around this problem.
Thanks david
Are you accessing the CUPS page from the local, or a remote machine?
CUPS will not allow remote administration with the default settings.
As far as I know, CUPS uses PAM to check the passwords, so if the
root password will allow you to log in as root on the machine CUPS
is running on, it should allow you to administer CUPS.

Yes I'm using a local machine,every other login for root is ok bar Cups,
do you know how to get this thing fixed.
Is anything showing up in the logs? I would also verify that you
have /etc/pam.d/cups and that it looks something like:
#%PAM-1.0
auth include system-auth
account include system-auth

Thanks Mikkel,I checked that file and it is as stated .
