The username that comes up by default is that of the user you are logged 
onto linux as. I had been entering the root password for the logged-on 
user account. I switched the user to root, entered the root password and 
was able to start the printer.

In short I wasn't reading or thinking. Sorry to waste your time.

Sincerely,

Chris
