I was able to view the CUPS interface with http://, however, I've used
https:// in the past (that's what came up in Firefox's awesome bar).
Also, some of the links in the CUPS interface point to my localhost's
local name.  For example, when I click on the "laserjet" printer name,
the link takes me to http://rondo:0/printers/laserjet.  rondo is the
name of my localhost and port 0 is, well, port 0.  I'm not sure what got
messed up in this.  In addition, clicking on things doesn't change
things.  I clicked on "cancel" for a print job and it won't actually
cancel.  Nothing seems to change when I try to do any administrative
functions, including deleting a printer.
