I have a cups server running quite happily apart from the web config and 
info pages using https. I do not want to allow connection to the admin 
pages without encryption, so I added the SSLPort 192.168.203.6:443 
directive and the details for the servers certificate and key files. I 
can connect to the cups web server fine without encryption to port 631 
and if I go to the printers section, it displays the printers. However, 
if I connect using https and go to any of the pages, it does not list 
any of my printers. this is true for all the pages. It connects fine and 
displays the pages as if I had no printers configured. I have restarted 
the server several times.  I am using version 1.1.20 of cups.

http://server:631/     <--- Works and lists printers
https://server/        <--- Works, but does not list any printers

My config with all the comment lines removed is as follows:
