Users And Passwords

The Ethernet Interface supports two user types:

root	Access to everything within the print server
	including all configurable settings.
guest	Ability to list settings only.

Passwords can be set for each user type. However, most often you will just set a password for the root user to protect the Ethernet Interface configuration. Guest users cannot alter the print server configuration in any way.

Syntax:

Example:

set user passwd root your_password_for_root save
