Another Mac user (Henry Richter) sent me this info when trying to access cups. For some reason the software via the browser kept giving me permission errors:

Either try another browser instead of Internet Exporer (e.g.
Mozilla) or use the following URL syntax: "http://user:passwd@localhost:631". Replace "user" with "root" and "passwd" with your root password.

If you're using IE, make sure you put the http:// at the head of your request.

For some reason Mac IE was built not to view anything but port 80 & port 443 as http.
