You should not run sid if you have to ask these questions.[0]
As others noted, cupsd probably binds only to lo by default.
I looked for a README.Debian; there wasn't one.
IIRC cupsd.conf is copiously documented, however.
I have these settings, they match Robert's suggestion.
/etc/cups# grep ^ cupsd.conf cups-files.conf
cupsd.conf:# Hey, Emacs! This is like an -*- apache -*- config file.
cupsd.conf:# Ref. /usr/share/doc/cups/online-docs/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html
cupsd.conf:Port 631
cupsd.conf:ServerAlias * # Workaround
http://bugs.debian.org/530027
cupsd.conf:Browsing Off # Don't probe for OTHER cupsds
cupsd.conf:#LogLevel info # Uncomment while debugging.
cupsd.conf:
cupsd.conf:# Access Control: everyone can print, nobody can administer.
cupsd.conf:# Administration is done by editing config files and restarting
cupsd.
cupsd.conf:# Locking out the internet et al is done by alpha's firewall.
cupsd.conf:# NOTE: unlike apache, you can't say <Location path1 path2 ...
pathn>.

Apologies for the length; I haven't time to make it shorter.

dpkg> Testing is a continuously updated release between <stable> and
dpkg> <unstable>, currently codenamed <jessie>. See
dpkg> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting and [...]. You should have a
