From a system security view CUPS is trying to get you to be more secure. The idea being that if CUPS is compromised then they don't have root on the system too. I know I know. If this was a print server on a network, the password would have satisfied CUPS's requirements. But the only way someone will become root on my notebook is if they steal it and then CUPS or root would be the least of my worries :-)
Do what its asking you to do and all is fine. Start using a different password for CUPS' 'root'. <sigh> Thanks. Was hoping to avoid having another password to remember...
