[cups.general] CUPS web interface generating absolute URLs for printers with "loopback" addresses

Your /etc/hosts file incorrectly has loopback assigned to your network address.  It should only be associated with 127.0.0.1 and ::1.

I have CUPS running on a centralized printing server, and am trying to access the web administration interface from my laptop. I can browse to http://SERVERNAME:631/ with no issues, and from there click on the "Manage Printers" link which resolves to http://SERVERNAME:631/printers.
