[cups.general] kubuntu box, localhost:631 can't see printers, but works anyway?

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;
I have a kubuntu 6.06.1 LTS box thats running my milling machine out in the 
shop building, and its networked to the rest of the coyote's net here.

I added a client.conf listing the server, and lpstat now shows there are 
printers available, like:
=======
root at shop:~# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: lp2
device for lp0: beh:/1/0/30/usb://EPSON/Stylus%20C82
device for lp1: beh:/1/0/30/usb://EPSON/Stylus%20C82
device for lp2: beh:/1/0/30/usb://EPSON/Stylus%20C82
device for lp3: beh:/1/0/30/usb://EPSON/Stylus%20C82

Okay, but when using a browser to look at localhost:631, no printers are 
found!

On an odd chance that it might work:

root at shop:~# lpstat -t |lpr -Plp2

while ssh'd into that box, got the above report printed on the printer 
beside me!  So it works.

But mozilla/firefox et all, are still blind, no printers found.  I'm plumb 
bumfuzzled here folks, somebody throw me a clue please.
