Aster adding your user login name (above is assumed that your login name is 
doug) restart cups as root with:
   rccups restart
to reread configuration. CUPS stores user authentication information as 
configuration settings.

Generally, in Linux background processes (demons) read configuration on start. 
If configuration is changed, they have to be stopped and started again. 
This is not done automatically as multiuser systems are not designed to 
interrupt other folk that is using system without good reason (server 
malfunction), or system administrator approval. 

I guess that some authentication shema exists that allows password change on 
the fly, with instant access with new password, but I don't know can CUPS use 
such functionality.
