AFAIK, the web interface eliminates username:password strings from device_uri strings
for security reasons.
I remember having seen an article by michael sweet at cups.org quite a time ago that the
web interface does not show username:password strings in device_uri on output.
Your experience seems to indicate that this elimination takes place on input as well
(conforming with my own experience on MacOS).
What really works is to use the lpadmin command to add the respective printer.
In this case the username and password will be found in the printers.conf file as
required for connecting to the device.
