I tried today to add my only printer to CUPS from a P3 box running Etch.
I first used CUPS's own installation wizard
(http://localhost:631/admin). I answered all the questions about the
printer faithfully. After providing the printer information I was asked
for a user name and password, which I provided.
CUPS typically expects 'root' and the root password, in my experience. Try
that instead of an ordinary username.
Or add youself to the 'lpadmin' group and use your own user name and
passwd.
