Tom proposed the following answer:

It is better to avoid having Superuser privileges if at all possible.
If you do things as normal user then they wont affect the rest of the
machine, just this user profile so it doesn't really need you to type
out the password again. If your printer now prints then you did it
perfectly - otherwise take another look at the instructions. Err, any
chnace you you send us a link to the instructions you've been given?
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
