Status Redirects to Blank Pages in Web Admin Tool

This is a fairly easy bug to replicate.  I can log in with the 'root' user on the 'Administration' tab.

Through the documentation, I have created a separate password for 'root', though this password is not taken for the 'Administration' tab.  When I try to stop a printer, I am asked for credentials.  Valid credentials are accepted (eventually), though page is redirected to a blank status page.  If I cancel-out, obviously I face a 401 error.

Though there is no erroneous condition reported, the printer never reaches a stopped state.
