If I try to add a new printer http://localhost:631/admin -> Add Printer or if I want to modify an existing printer http://localhost:631/printers/DYMO_LabelWriter_400 -> Modify Printer -> (http://localhost:631/admin/) the website shows only a rotating symbol (hourglass) and "Looking for printers..." and nothing else happens. Cups is running with debug LogLevel, In /var/log/cups/error_log I find: ...

Printing at Laserjet1300Grizzly@grizzly and Hp1300GrizzlyGutenprint@grizzly works. Reproducible: Always
This's the nearest I have found to my problem. if I use http://localhost:631 I get dumped back to the login screen,and all info is lost ,I looked up the .xsessionerrors ,which I will attach ,but this to me wasn't helpful.

(In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=239347) [details] > .xsession error log > this is happening on both machines x86 & x86_64, have rebuilt cups ghostscript foomatic-db-ppds & foomatic-filters-ppds .then run revdep-rebuild which reports no problems.

I hit the problem again: At the first attempt I had a ssh-session from "moose" to "lynx" and tried to add a printer at lynx with: rose@lynx:/home/rose/(9)$ epiphany http://localhost:631 & http://localhost:631/admin -> Add Printer I came until "Looking for printers...", I waited several minutes, no success. I finished epiphany, tried once more, got the same result. Tried konqueror, rose@lynx:/home/rose/(10)$ konqueror http://localhost:631 got: The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: http://localhost:631/ The following error was encountered: Access Denied. Then I tried: rose@lynx:/home/rose/(11) seamonkey http://localhost:631 I could succesfully add my new printer. I also tried some minutes later at the console of lynx to add printer with firefox: rose@lynx:/home/rose/(2) firefox http://localfox:631 I also had no problems. So the problems seems to be browser and connection dependent.
I have another problem ,as well,in that any printing using konqueror,does not finish the page off, the printer just feeds the head to & fro but does not actually print anything,the cups log does not show any errors regarding the job. When I shut down the machine when session finished,the page is ejected from the printer. On next startup ( especially if the printer is powered up) it promptly restarts the print job and runs through the cycle all over again. Do not have any hassles printing from firefox.
Can you attach your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
