What browser are you trying?  I have had success with IE and Opera.  You
will need to change 2 places in the cups.conf file to access the web config
from anywhere but localhost.

I don't know, I have only used the web utility.  Anything helpful appear in
the logs?  Is the daemon running?

Once you can print via CUPS, if you share it out via samba, on the client
end you will need to add it like so:

1) Add new printer
2) Local Printer (not remote)
3) Specify new port
4) Dialog comes up, specify printer (i.e. \\printserver\PrintShare)
