I ran
chmod -R a+rx /usr/lib/cups/*
chmod -R o-w /usr/lib/cups/*

and that seems to have fixed the issues with the GUI interface.  I still can't get at the CUPS browser interface, though - error 404 on any page but http://localhost:631, even if I'm running the browser as root.  My printer still isn't cooperating very nicely...
