I verified this on my machine. I'm not sure what it's asking for (a
CUPS BasicAuth password?), but the dialog is different than the one
which prompts for your password if you try and, say, run the Network
config applet, or run the updater.
As with Alex's experience, it definitely will not accept Kerberos or
local passwords.
