When it pops up the requester, did you change it from the default root to
your name you've added to lpadmin and your passwd? That works here.
Cumbersome but works. On a system w/o a root passwd, I use sudo for
everything, I haven't a clue how cups expects to get a valid passwd for
root. Boggles the mind, but it insists. So change it yourself.
