Use a text based browser, 'lynx' works pretty well:

$ lynx localhost:631

Add yourself to lpadmin group to avoid having to be root to
manage the printer(s)

For remote printers I usually ssh and run lynx on the remote machine.
If you want to manage all the printers from one machine you will need to
allow it within each /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file.
