I don't know much OSX (nor do I have an available system here), but I know
a fair bit about CUPS.
Check the contents of the "cupsd.conf" configuration file. It has
sections tagged <Location /name>....</Location>. In between these two
tags there are the "security" settings for the access control to the
location. (All settings to "/location" automatically apply also to
"/location/sub-location" unless you define something specifically
and separate for "sub-location"...
You have: <Location />...............</Location> [the server "root"]
--------- <Location /admin>..........</Location> [access to the server administration]
<Location /printers>.......</Location> [access all printers]
<Location /printers/name>..</Location> [access to printer "name"]
<Location /jobs>...........</Location> [access to jobs]
Most likely, you have the following:
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
This means you can't access the server root from any other place than
"127.0.0.1". (So if you have not a mapping of "127.0.0.1" to "localhost"
declared in your "/etc/hosts" (or wherever the file resides on OSX),
you can't even go though "http://localhost:631/";
Try for testing to go to "http://127.0.0.1:631/"; (and include the "/" at
the end if it doesn't work without).
Once you've this access, try to figure out the same thing for
"http://127.0.0.1:631/admin/"; and "http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/";

Check the settings for "<Location /printers>.......</Location>".
In case there are still problems, set "LogLevel debug" in "cupsd.conf",
re-start CUPS, and check the "error_log" (might be in "/var/log/cups/"
or in the path specified in "cupsd.ocnf" itself...) for any illuminating
messages...

[Oh, and BTW, you may be able to draw some useful conclusions from
"http://www.cups.org/cups-help.html";, although this document was written
with mainly Linux in mind...]
