printer driver root

[nbusiness]

I'm installing a printer driver and it is asking for the root password i'm useing ubuntu 10.04 lts printer x7675 lexmark.

use the password you used when you installed ubuntu

I have tried that also it tell me it's incorrect but I use it that password when I log on so I know it's works.

[Hippytaff]

maybe

passwd

to change the password, are you the only user, if not are you in the sudoers file?

To become root in Ubuntu use sudo. So instead of using su or su root try this:

sudo -i
