I tried today to add my only printer to CUPS from a P3 box running Etch.
I first used CUPS's own installation wizard
(http://localhost:631/admin).  I answered all the questions about the
printer faithfully. After providing the printer information I was asked
for a user name and password, which I provided.

CUPS typically expects 'root' and the root password, in my experience.  Try that instead of an ordinary username.
