I have more buttons: "Add Printer", "Find New Printers", and "Add
Class". Also, under "Server" on the right hand side I have buttons to
edit the configuration file and to view various log files. I run an
up-to-date Sid/amd64 system.

Yes, I am.

Let's compare the versions of all cups and cupsys packages (your output
did not include the lib* packages):
$ dpkg -l "*cups*" | awk '/^ii/{print $2,$3}'
cups 1.3.7-8
cups-bsd 1.3.7-8
cups-client 1.3.7-8
cups-common 1.3.7-8
cups-driver-gutenprint 5.0.2-3
cups-pdf 2.4.8-2
cupsddk 1.2.3-3
cupsddk-drivers 1.2.3-3
cupsys 1.3.7-8
libcups2 1.3.7-8
libcupsimage2 1.3.7-8
libcupsys2 1.3.7-8
libgnomecups1.0-1 0.2.3-2
Did you try to change the LogLevel to "debug" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
and restart cups? This should give you more information in the log files
(/var/log/cups/*) when you try to connect to the web interface again.
What are your access restriction settings in cupsd.conf? Here are mine
(I did not change the defaults):
$ awk '/<Loc/,/<\/Loc/' /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
<Location />
Order allow,deny
</Location>
<Location /admin>
Order allow,deny
</Location>
<Location /admin/conf>
AuthType Default
Require user @SYSTEM
Order allow,deny
</Location>
Are you still a member of the lpadmin group (or whichever group is
specified as the SystemGroup in cupsd.conf)?
Is your printer detected when you run "/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb"?
