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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
