Ok - the first thing is that the user and password it is asking for
defaults to root and root's password. Normal users login and
password do not work unless they are added.

From there, you want the Administration tab. From there you can
click on the Find New Printers. If the printserver supports IPP,
then you can have CUPS can find it for you. It will do most of the
setup for you.

If CUPS does not find the printer, you will have to use Add New
Printer. You then will want to pick LPD/LPR Host or Printer.

The next step is to enter "lpd://192.168.1.3/PSE6D76B" at the Device
URI: prompt. From there it is just a matter of selecting your
printer from the menu.

As the last step, you will have to enter root as the user name and
root's password for the password to save the new printer.
