Try the following:
To get CUPS Admin GUI on browser URL is:
http://localhost:631/

lppasswd

Add password for cups in digest password in
/etc/cups/passwd.md5

Add:
(none):~ # lppasswd -a test -g sys
Enter password:
Enter password again:
(none):~ #

Did that for root and admin also

See in /etc/cups/passwd.md5

root:sys:a1d97031db216b38656c8b60bee4916e
admin:sys:3f07a294465a1e392f85a864bc29dbe0
test:sys:24354f0cd0b59128428e0b4a16c8018a
