From your CUPS server:

1) Goto the text file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

2) Scroll down the file and put under the <Location/ admin> section:

Now you can use the web interface (http://localhost:631/) with Windows to do administrative tasks. Listing

You should explain WHERE to add this stuff in cupsd.conf Reply

The explaination was clear enough. at a prompt(shell) under linux type "cd /etc/cups/" and "vi cupsd.conf" and search for <Location/ admin>, lastly add the line above. Reply
