I'm on Maverick alpha 2. I can confirm your solution works.
Here's what I did:
sudo passwd root
sudo usermod -aG shadow root
sudo usermod -aG lpadmin root
sudo lppasswd -a root
sudo vi /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
sudo service cups restart
I will write back if I find some of these steps are not necessary, or if
enabling the root account can be avoided...
