when I go to http://localhost:631/admin the dashboard is displayed as
expected.

Manage Printers does display my MFCL3770CDW and I am (apparently) able
to manage and edit the settings.

however
Add Printer gives> Unable to add printer: Forbidden

is this normal behavior? I do want to add another printer

Have you (username) joined lpadmin (group)?
It would be useful to have the outputs of

   groups
$ groups
peter cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev netdev

and

   grep SystemGroup /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
$ grep SystemGroup /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
SystemGroup lpadmin
