+There's another problem: in the installed configuration, the "Print Test
+Page" function in the web interface does not work. This is due to a bug in
+the URL constructed for it.
+
+To work around this bug, edit the file /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
+(as root). Find the line that says "Allow From 127.0.0.1". After that
+line, insert a line that reads "Allow From <myhost>.<mydomain>", filling
+in your own hostname and domainname where I have written <myhost> and 
+<mydomain>. Restart cupsd. The "Print Test Page" function will now work.
+
+I'll try to have a code patch to fix the errant URL soon.

 Thanks.
