[cups.general] Installation Woes

Hi Everyone...and HELP!

First of all the http://localhost:631/admin/ site steadfastly refuses to 
accept my login, as either user or root, using the system password.  
However, I was able to install a printer in administrator's mode in 
KDE.  But, I am unable to print either a test page, or anything else for 
that matter.  BTW, I am running FreeBSD 6.2.  I'm pretty sure that cups 
is running because of...

~ [22:14:44] > ps aux | grep cupsd
root      874  0.0  0.3  4336  2796  ??  Ss    9:08PM   0:07.17 
/usr/local/sbin/cupsd
root      938  0.0  0.3  4380  3024  ??  Is    9:08PM   0:14.09 
/usr/local/sbin/cupsd
root    23129  0.0  0.1  1592  1040  p1  S+   10:15PM   0:00.00 grep cupsd

All of the old installation info that I have refers to changing the file 
cups.sh.sample to cups.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.  Neither of those 
files exists on my system.  Perhaps the newer versions of cups do not 
rely on those files anymore.  I have disabled the base system's lp, lpr, 
lpd, etc, so they do not conflict with the cup's commands of the same name.

I have cups-base-1.2.12 installed on my system, and any help in getting 
me up and printing would be much appreciated.
