authentication issues

[Boaz Yarom]

Hi,
we have cups and samba installed, and the printng works fine from both, but when trying to administrate the web gui I cannot get pass the user password.
also ,error log shows lots of the following message:

D [27/Nov/2006:10:58:48 +0200] cupsdAcceptClient: 9 from localhost:631 (IPv4)
D [27/Nov/2006:10:58:48 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 9 POST / HTTP/1.1
D [27/Nov/2006:10:58:48 +0200] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

D [27/Nov/2006:10:58:48 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 9 POST / HTTP/1.1

D [27/Nov/2006:10:58:48 +0200] cupsdCloseClient: 9

to simplify things, I installed another cups serveron another machine. (no samba) and opened all privildges , still it asks for user and password (once) and it acts weird, user root enabled me access.(root not in lpadmin nor in lab (see folowing configuration:)

any help / idea /direction anyone ?
thanks in advance
