I support re-opening the bug. The Web Interface does NOT display any message stating administrating is disabled. Nor does it point to /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.Debian.gz. E.g., http://localhost:631/admin or https://localhost:631/admin simply come up. I can click "Manage printers", a link to /printers. But when I try to do anything, e.g., "Set as Default", a dialog pops up "Enter username and password for "CUPS" at https://localhost:631";, and, as the original poster noted, it just keeps coming back, no matter if I enter my password or root.
Yes, I am in group lpadmin. Yes, cupsys is in group shadow. Yes, /etc/shadow is readable by group shadow. CUPS logs this: I [28/Jul/2008:13:59:54 -0400] Started "/usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/admin.cgi" (pid=1139) E [28/Jul/2008:13:59:54 -0400] CUPS-Set-Default: Unauthorized I [28/Jul/2008:13:59:54 -0400] cupsdCloseClient: SSL shutdown successful!
