cups localhost:631 access denied [solved]

[Wyrm]

I installed cups without any problems, but when I try to configure it via http://localhost:631 or http://localhost:631/admin I only get an "access denied" message.
I didn't change /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, it still says "allow from 127.0.0.1" for <Location /admin> , and nmap says tcp/631 is open.

Does anybody know either
1) where to set the permissions so I can configure it via http or
2) where to configure cups via the shell ?

thanks in advance

Are you sure you have the service started?

Solved. Maybe someone could put a reminder into the printing guide to disable your proxy settings before trying to configure cups...
