[cups.general] missing response for configuration of new printer

[Tom Allison]

I'm trying to set up a new printer server (v1.3.8).

I have installed everything (or I think I did).  This is a headless 
server with no X server so no localhost browser.

When I go through the process of adding a printer from a remote host I 
get through the process to a point.

I can search for a printer and find it.
I can identify the PPD file from the drop down list.

But when I submit everything just hangs waiting for a response.....

And this is what I'm left with.

This is currently running on a box that I'm setting up as a firewall 
box, but there is nothing currently blocking the network.  And since I 
can get the message into the server I really don't see where the 
firewall has any play.

so I think I'm looking at a cups problem.

I'm also able to do a fair amount of this process under http and not 
https but that might be just fine.  I did restart the cups server.

I'm using another 1.3.8 server as a reference for the configuration file 
and have included the statement 'Allow 192.168.10.*' on all the LIMIT 
tags to ensure I have the correct NIC doing the cups talking.  I also 
have...  heck - here's my configuration file (it's annoying not seeing it):
