About the fix :
As the name implies, it helped me to get the printer working, but was not the
right/best way to do it.
As I never used CUPS before (no need in squeeze !), I was confused when it was
asking for username/password.
I entered the name of the user for which I wanted print capability.

Hmmm, well, then I would say this is cups tha
Clarification :
Adding "user1" to the lpadmin group was required to add the printer in CUPS
(otherwise after entering the user name and password the operation is
"forbidden"), not for printing.
Test : remove user1 from lpadmin & print
root?
root? id user1
uid=1000(user1) gid=1000(user1)

Added the user in lpadmin (under root) :
> usermod -a -G lpadmin user1
Plugged in printer/scan.
Started a web browser, url "localhost:631" (the CUPS interface)
