If this is OT, my apologies. I've not been following this
thread.
However, it appears there's mention of messing with cupsd.conf,
and I just struggled through trying to configure a cups server
on a headless box.
Rather than muck about in cupsd.conf, which only got me
trouble in my browser with messages that indicated I needed
to upgrade cups, I instead used ssh to tunnel ipp traffic
so that I could access the headless cupsd host via a
localhost address on the box where the browser lives.
On the box where you have your browser:
su - ; # be root
ssh -L 632:localhost:631 you@cupsserver.example.com
Then fire up your browser and go to:
http://localhost:632/
When you're done configuring, exit the ssh session.
I found a few links (printers) would take me back
to http://localhost:631/, the wrong url, but mostly
things worked fine and I was able to configure a cups
server on a box that does not run a browser.
