    Just from memory, I think tht a /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file is
    installed by the port. You need to read through it, and set up the access
    control to allow you to configure prnters via the web interface. There are
    exmaples in there. If I recall corectly, the default does not allow
    configuring, even from the local achine.

    Hope that helps.
