Well, I can't do that. I requires a login, and it's not accepting my usual 
username/password. How do I set one in CUPS (without resorting to reading 
long man-pages and command-prompts.)?

BUT the solution I've used was to install Gnome-Cups-manager and start it with 
sudo. Then I can restart the printer. Is there a KDE-equivalent?

Another BUT. Something is not right with cupsd. After printing a testpage, 
cupsd just hung at 100% cpu. Killing the process and restarting cupsd, the 
testpage got printed again. Weird.
