When I did it I interpreted the Username and Passwwd boxes to refer to values on the Win XP machine .. I did not enter root even once into the user box and you should not either unless you are trying to run system-config-printer as yourself . not as root. I would address the question to Tim since he reads this list or file a Bugzilla explaining the problem since he works for redhat he should pick it up there. -- ======================================================================= A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. -- Winston Churchill ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
