Title:
  Unauthorized: Cannot manage printers using lpadmin or cupsctl

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups

  Default Lucid install.  My main user account has sudo privileges and
  belongs to group lpadmin, but all my attempts at managing my printer
  using cupsctl and lpadmin fail with

  lpadmin: Unauthorized

  both for my main user id and with sudo.

  This is a remote Windows printer shared over Samba.
