Does: http://127.0.0.1:631/admin work? Check /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf, and /etc/resolv.conf. If your /etc/host.conf has the default resolve order, the system will look in /etc/hosts to resolve "localhost" first. You might want an entry like: 127.0.0.1 localhost.mydomain.com localhost CUPS also has a security mechanism setup for who can access the server. localhost (or 127.0.0.1) is allowed by default, so I don't think that is biting you. You may want to check /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf to be sure.
