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.

Look into /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and see how authentification
has been configured.
