I used to choke when using CUPS,
A username and password are being requested by http://localhost:631.
The site says: "CUPS"
I tried my laptop's root/user password, all failed.
it's a network printer, I don't have the administration password, and
also a bit lazy/sorry to trouble the administrator.
does it need administrator's password here? to add a printer.
I can do well in adding printer from setting--printing --> find
network printer by entering the IP.
Well, good news is that it works, after removal and re-install.
actually my sid one also has such problems for long, so I thought it's
something weird.
I should have removed earlier and reinstalled it to try,
