Thanks, that seems to have done the trick.  The authentication in
cupsd.conf was set to:

AuthType BasicDigest
AuthClass Group
AuthGroupName sys

I changed it to:

AuthType Basic
AuthClass User

And restarted the cupsd deamon.  Now I'm able to get into the web
interface without a password prompt.  While this is probably less secure
than it was, I'm the only one on this system or LAN, so I'm not too
worried.  Thanks for the help.
