That probably wasn't a good idea. If you don't want to send root's password over the network, then uncomment this in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf SystemGroup sys Then add a user, say cupsadmin, with sys as their primary group. > Order deny,allow > Deny from all > Allow from 127.0.0.1 > > AuthType Basic > AuthClass System Put all these statements back in. Change the "Allow from 127.0.0.1" to "Allow from xx.xx.xx.xx/24" or whatever subnet you want to accept logins from. Restart cupsd. Login as cupsadmin to do any administration work. > I am now able to get to the main admin page at myip:631/admin, but none > of the images on the page are being displayed.

Look in /var/log/cups/access_log and /var/log/cups/error_log. See what exactly is getting the 403 error. Check the permissions on those directories and files. If they're not 755, they probably should be.
