Thanks for your reply. I checked your suggestion and unfortunately,
it's still not working. Still asking for password in the localhost
(client).

cupsclient# egrep "Location|Policy" cupsd.conf printers.conf
cupsd.conf:#<Location />
cupsd.conf:#</Location>

I'm not currently implementing Location and Policy directives in my
client.

Thanks,
