This is probably related to your CUPS configuration (/etc/cups/cupsd.conf).
You should read the doc about it and see what's the current settings
for the /admin resource. A common config would be:

<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
