Hi [member=8071]vectra246[/member] , when you installed the OS you would have been automatically added to the "sudo" group, so to give an admin command just use sudo in front of the command and then when it asks, enter your password:
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP5050 -o /dev/usb/lp0Re: Need ROOT acces to install printer - vectra246 - 10-09-2018
Thnx,
That was the solution.
Now my printer stil isnt working
I think i buy a new one.
Any suggestion for a working all in one printer on linux lite?

HP! Make sure the model is approx. 6 months old first to allow for driver compatibility.

Hplip is already installed, no need to install it again.
