I haven't tried cups, but needing to be online sounds like some kind of
hosts problem. You should have a line in /etc/hosts:

  127.0.0.1       localhost

Make sure you're using your hosts file in /etc/host.conf. I check hosts
and then dns with the following /etc/host.conf:

  order hosts,bind
  multi on

You may also want to use the ip address in the url:

  http://127.0.0.1:631/admin

to see if that works when you're offline.
