Hi there,
It sounds like you've just upgraded from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 - this is a known problem that's totally fixable, don't worry! This should sort you out:

  1. Lot in to your account (You are an administrator, you said?).
  2. Open up Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal). If you haven't used it before, don't panic - it's not nearly as scary as it looks!
  3. Enter this code, exactly as written, but replace (username) with your short username - all one word: dseditgroup -o edit -p -a (username) -t user _lpadmin
  4. By the way - there should be no brackets in the code. For example, my username is barnabywalters, so it would be dseditgroup -o edit -p -a barnabywalters -t user _lpadmin
  5. Try installing the software again, with your password. It should work this time!
If it doesn't work, please don't hesitate to let me know. Good luck, hope that helped!
