I have a headless server and I'm trying to get the Cups Web Admin working for remote access.
Okay - now I've got the CUPS error log which says that I'm not authorized to add/change/update printers.
I'll start looking on my own - but any pointers gladly appreciated!
I've gotten the default cupsd.conf and altered it

I have also created a group called lpadmin and made myself I member of the group. However, when I try to connect to the web admin page, I get a Page Load Error.
The web server is definitely up and running, and I have been able to connect with another version of the cupsd.conf file (but that wasn't allowing me to change printers). Anyone have a cupsd.conf file that allows remote access?
