Could you try HTTPS:
https://localhost:631/

And again here:
https://ip6-localhost:631/
Note this part of cupsd.conf:
# Restrict access to the admin pages...
<Location /admin>
Encryption Required
Order allow,deny
Allow localhost
</Location>
The "Encryption Required" means you must you HTTPS in order to access
it. Plain HTTP won't work.

It's completely automatic; CUPS 1.2 now had IPv6 support, so it will
be completely transparent.
If you post your cupsd.conf, it might show why "localhost" and
"ip6-localhost" are being treated differently.
