Thanks. I have done a lot of checking and I believe PAM authentication 
is definitely not working with CUPS-1.2.0 in Dapper. If I changed the 
AuthType to BasicDigest and use lppasswd to add a user, authentication 
worked.

I guess so. I found that dapper's cups was NOT compiled with SSL 
support, when the cupsd demands remote connections to use https. It's 
really a mess here...
