When I try to go to the damin section of the web interface, I'm prompted for a username password pair. Where do I look for this config?/etc/cups/cupsd.confWell, I have looked there, but if it's there, I'm overlooking it. A clue, perhaps?
In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
there is probably a section about Security: one of the options is SystemGroup
that specifies a special unix group used under certain circumstances for authorization. That group may be lpadmin, but by default could be sys system or root.
There should also be a <Location /admin>...</Location> section which describes the authorization required: Specifically you can restrict the host from which to access and the AuthType/AuthClass.
AuthType is probably Basic
AuthClass could be Anonymous User Group or System
If the AuthClass is System than you need to specify the username and unix password of a user belonging to the Systemgroup specified above.
Your milage may vary
