Things to think about. I know on Debian, admin and admin password are that of root. Would be bad to pass it over http even on a odd port. Don't know about ubuntu.
sshd will provide a proxy for you if you ask it to. You can use ssh -D23456 192.168.1.250 to get a sox proxy on localhost at port 23456 that you can then use to see the other side machine. Then you configure your local browser to use the socks proxy at port 23456 on localhost. Then you point your browser to http://localhost:631 just like you would normally. BTW, I wasn't sure of the above advice. I just finished checking it on my firewall to make sure localhost wouldn't throw the proxy. Maybe that will help with your configuration.
