In times past I've been able to browse to http://localhost:621/admin

Now, when I browse there, it does not prompt me. I guess it assumes I
want to do administrative things as my normal non-privileged user. I
suppose I could add my non-priv user to lpadmin, but I'd rather be
prompted for a privilege escalation.
How can I get CUPS to prompt me again for the admin user/password?
Thanks!
No, on further tinkering, that doesn't seem to be quite the issue. I'm
getting different Home pages at various times, and I just now realized
that if I start at localhost:631, sometime I wind up at an
IPADDRESS:631 which is not the IPAddress of my localhost box. Then if
I try to browse to http://MYLOCALIP:631 I get a "can't establish
connection to the server at THATADDRESS".
It seems that CUPS thinks my localhost IP address is something
different than what it actually is.
I just added the line:
Listen MYLOCALHOSTIPADDRESS:631 to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and then did an
"/etc/init.d/cups restart". Now when I try to go to
MYLOCALHOSTIPADDRESS:631 I get a 403 Forbidden.
