Please correct if my understand is wrong: CUPS web interface hides(cuts) username/password when you 'modify' and/or 'show' printer information. But maybe your /etc/cups/printers.conf has correct URI with username/password when you 'add' printer, right? As far as my reviewing code, this looks specification. Showing username/password at web interface means all users can see it. It is better to show username/password at modify window, but current code looks haven't such a feature.
