CUPS on 631 - Root/Root PW Don't Work

[Russ]

Did you use the lppasswd command first? You need to use this command before
CUPS will allow you to admin the printers thru local host. I used
lppasswd -a root then you give it the password when it asks.

get in to configure it.  When I go to localhost:631 I get the correct
response, choose administration, and then am asked for the username and
password.  If I use root and the root pw, no luck - authentication failed.
No matter what I try it fails.  I've looked over all the newsgroups, setup
guides, howtos, everything and can't seem to find any help.
