I'm working with an outdated 32-bit system on Debian 11. I attempted to set up a print server using CUPS and Samba, following a tutorial I read earlier for a desktop setup. Now I'm facing issues accessing the web interface remotely via SSH. When trying to log in, I receive a 403 Forbidden error. I've tried various configuration files but haven't found a solution. My current cupsd.conf is attached below.

Check if you're using an account belonging to the lpadmin group. Otherwise, log in as the root user—don’t keep it logged in for extended periods. See the relevant documentation links for details.

I wasn't expecting that. I’ll add my user to the group now. While setting up, I didn’t provide the root password, so I had to use sudo for all commands as my account. It seems I won’t be able to log in as the root user.

It functioned perfectly, only needed a restart after assigning myself to lpadmin.

To access the root account, use a sudoer with a password via sudo passwd root.
