| Sep 16, 2017 at 23:19 | comment | added | Michael A | @FaheemMitha Fair enough. I mentioned it in the title, but maybe that isn't enough. | |
| Sep 16, 2017 at 22:31 | comment | added | Faheem Mitha | And nitpick - "I get the same "Unable to add printer: Forbidden" error as before". But you didn't mention it the first time. :-) I suggest leaving out the "as before" bit. | |

Interesting. There is an executable, lpadmin, which you can also use to add a printer. Try using that instead - it might be easier to diagnose.

@FaheemMitha Thanks for the correction. I updated the post. I get this error when I try to add a printer through the admin web interface, i.e. localhost:631
