To use the CUPS webadmin page, the username is 'root' and the
password is the password of 'root'.

I can't get to that, I am not asked any user/password.
http://localhost:631/ works but none of the links from there like
http://localhost:631/admin/ etc.

Or you could add your user to the lpadmin group and use that user's
name and password.

I can't do that, I am not asked any user/password. (See my original
post).

I'm coming into this in the middle, so I don't know what your original
post had in it. Yet, your response to the above suggests a possible
misunderstanding of the thought offered by Colin.

From the console or an xterm window, type
id
and see if you, the user, have "lpadmin" listed as one of your groups.

If so, then do send the contents of your cupsd.conf file, since the
following won't apply (unless you never logged completely off since
being added to the group--if so, see below).

If not, log in as root at the console or an xterm window. Then type
adduser yourLoginName lpadmin

Log out of X-window COMPLETELY, to the point that you must log back in
as the user at the console (or gdm/kdm/whatever), and restart X-window.
Now try again to access things under localhost:631, using your name and
password (not root's) when asked.

HTH,
