Then it asks me for a "username and password for 'CUPS'".  The only password for this ubuntu platform doesn't work.  This very problem was mentioned in ESR's article, so from the outside it looks like no progress here.
That's because ubuntu doesn't set the root users password on install and
CUPS by default only allows admin users to login.

Cheers,
