FYI:
What cupsd responds if file:///dev/lp0 is used:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
burns:~ # lpadmin -p testy -v file:///dev/lp0
lpadmin: File device URIs have been disabled! To enable,
see the FileDevice directive in "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf".
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The error message is sent by the cupsd (in the CUPS sources
in scheduler/ipp.c) and forwarded by lpadmin to stderr
so that it should have helped Ludwig to see the actual cause
of failure if the message was also shown by system-config-printer.
I have no idea why authentication with user name "root"
and root's password doesn't work and therefore I guess
that the authentication as root did actually work but
system-config-printer might just retry the authentication
in case of any error?
