Obviously no password was right and I could not finish my setup.
Reading around I’ve found this little trick that might be usefull to someone else:

Alt-F2 to open application launcher and type 

gksudo  system-config-printer

Ubuntu will ask your system password and then you’ll be able to configure, delete and modify your printers.
