I believe I have the same issue, I have package cups 1.6.2-1ubuntu5.

When I try and do any admin task via the web interface, I get:

E [15/Sep/2013:18:51:03 +0800] [Client 11] Unknown MD5 username "rob"

In my cupsd.conf file, I have the following (relevant bits only):

DefaultAuthType BasicDigest (this machine is visible on a domestic LAN only)

Require user @lpadmin (in various locations that previously had "require user @SYSTEM")

I've tried the workarounds mentioned above, but these have not fixed the problem for me.

In /var/log/kern.log, I'm seeing lots of the following:
