Take another look at the Device URIs in printers.conf -- are you sure
there are no credentials there?

The "modern" way of doing this is to leave credentials out from the
Device URIs anyway and let CUPS/system-config-printer-applet prompt the
user for them when needed.  This uses the GNOME keyring so you may want
to check that...
