   So what do you do to configure CUPS via a browser from workstation on 
the same LAN when the server you point the browser to only returns a 
"403 Forbidden" message?  :(

   I have cups on a headless server (CentOS) that has NO GUI.  It's a
"server" afterall...  So from my workstation, when pointing my browser to
http://server1.nuge.com:631 all I ever get is a 403 Forbidden.

   What needs to be added or edited in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to get this
beast to at least let me *begin* to start configuring it????


   The only lines I have edited in cupsd.conf so far are:

      ####LogLevel info
      LogLevel debug2        <------- more verbose error logs
 

      Listen localhost:631
      ## jjn 090429 -- Added following line
      Listen 216.144.208.28:631  <-- web access went from not responding 
                                     at all to now giving a 403 Forbidden 
                                     message


   Thanks!
