I am able to pull up the CUPS web interface via http://localhost:631/ and http://127.0.0.1:631/ but when I attempt to login to the admin finctions it will not accept my login info using root or my username. I was assuming that once I got in there it would make sense on how to share it out but who knows I cant get in to it. When I give it a "cupsd" command in a root terminal I get the reply "cupsd: Child exited with status 98!" Attached is my cupsd.conf as it currently sits located in /etc/cups.

Ubuntu has a policty to not have any port open by default. That means 
you need to reconfigure CUPS to bind on 0.0.0.0 or your network 
interface IP rather than 127.0.0.1.

I wish there was a programmatic way to do it.
