In mine I have:

Browsing On
BrowseProtocols cups
BrowseOrder Deny,Allow
BrowseAllow from @LOCAL
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
Listen 192.168.xxx.yyy:631

Except there's a proper IP subnet instead of xxx etc., I think it's the 
first one that's important for the admin interface, the next two only 
make sure the queue is announced on the network AFAIK.  All this appears 
right at the end of the file, RedHat print config put it there I think, 
I once spent a good hour or so editing settings further up the file and 
wondering why this seemed to be having no effect...  I can access the 
web interface no problem from other machines on the Lan but it demands 
username and password before it'll let you do anything.

Also, before I switched this on I found elinks highly capable of running 
the web interface if I just SSH'd into the print server box.
