I tried to set a cups password for it, but eventually had to change the user to root. Now I get the main page up but any attempt to use one of the options results in a connection refused message.

The cupsd on SUSE isn't used, if "client only" setup is done.
Only the cupsd on the Fedora Core 2 box (or whatever as server
is configured :-) is used by your applications for printing.
