A few thoughts:

  1. You might want to look in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to make sure you are allowing
    admin changes. Remote administration will require a modification of the
    default, but make sure you have at least "Allow @ LOCAL.
  2. When you tried to add a user with lppasswd were they in the lp group? If not
    add them and try again. Also if you changed root’s password at some time that
    may need to be changed with lppasswd. (I assume that when you install, the
    installer adds the root password to the lppassword file, but I’m not positive
    of this.)
  3. lppasswd requires passwords to be at least 6 characters long and include both
    alpha and numeric values. It should complain about that but perhaps for some
    reason it just denied access.

Not sure if any of this will help, but it’s worth a try.
