Anything interesting at http://localhost:631/jobs ?

CUPS uses Apache-style ACLs (i.e. <Location /> \n Order Deny,Allow \n
Deny from All \n Allow from localhost \n </Location>) and allows most
things only for localhost out of the box, so you might want to check
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Tailing /var/log/cups/* can be informative, possibly more so after
setting "LogLevel debug" in cupsd.conf.
