I would augment the above instructions as follows (where is this from?):

6. enter "apt-get install cups cups-client cups-bsd"
7. enter "lppasswd -g lpadmin -a printer" supply a password
8. edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, change the DefaultAuthType to BasicDigest
9. enter "/etc/init.d/cups start"
10. Open internet browser, go to http://localhost:631
11. The "Common UNIX Printing System 1.3.8" control page should load

Then when asked for authentication, use printer, and the new password you made up in step 7.

Since you already did the above steps, you need to just do steps 7 through 9, and in step 9, replace "start" with "restart".
