Make sure you have: Browsing On and you should have 2 stanzas like so: <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.0.255 </Location> <Location /admin> AuthType Basic AuthClass System Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.0.255 </Location> This allows browsing and administration from anywhere in the LAN - check out the comments in the config file for details of what each feature does. By default, CUPS doesn't allow remote administration, so you have to change these to values similar to above to make it work and then restart it (/etc/init.d/cupsys restart).
