That's because the http://localhost:631 route has been disabled -- you are
supposed to use the KDE or GNOME printer setup procedure (which is just a
front for the CUPS procedure). But you can circumvent this, if you wish,
by commenting out the two lines "AuthType Basic" and "AuthClass System"
near the end of the file /etc/cups/cups.confd; now you can use
http://localhost:631 even without any password...
