You are using Kerberos? This could be a consequence of #663995. The
original Red Hat report is at:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=837602

I tested this conjecture after installing and setting up Kerberos.


1. Used your cupsd.conf with DefaultAuthType commented out so that a
   print queue could be created:

   lpadmin -p TEST-K -v file:/dev/null -m drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-business_inkjet_1200.ppd

2. Uncommented DefaultAuthType and restarted cups.

3. touch /usr/share/cups/ppd-updaters/*

4. root at cups-unstable:~# apt-get --reinstall install cups

5. The error_log contained 12 lines of the form:

   Authorized using Basic, expected Negotiate

Progressing to the end of the install was a matter of pressing the Enter
key each time the root password was asked for.
