Maybe I'm missing something here, but check your pkg/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
for AuthType/AuthClass:

## Anonymous access (default)
#AuthType None
AuthType None

## Require a username and password (Basic authentication)
#AuthType Basic
#AuthClass User

If you don't have AuthType None, it requires authentication.

My problem is that I can't get cups' lp or lpr to work, even though
I finally got it to print the test page from the web interface for
my Samsung ML-1430 pcl6 laser (apparently requires a gdi filter).
