It Works For Me.  Can you use cups normally from the command-line?

i.e. 'lpstat -a' shows a complete list of printers, and 'lpr -P
printer' prints a file?

Just make sure you have @LOCAL in your "Location /" section:

<Location />
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
  Allow @LOCAL
</Location>

There were some issues a month or so back, but it's working for me
right now.

Make sure you have "Port 631" (and nothing else) in
/etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf.

This is the standard cupsd.conf, plus a few tweaks to allow network
access for users.
