Can not access localhost:631 after install CUPS

[Mike McArthur]

You need to modify the cupsd.conf.

<Location />
  Order allow,deny
</Location>

Is probably what is in your cupsd.conf right now.  To fix it just do this:

<Location />
  Order allow,deny
  allow all
</Location>

Then restart cups.


Keep in mind that eveyrone would be able to access the admin page. There are control lists and require users to login and etc.. You can find out more about the cupsd.conf page here:
