Nothing, until you try to actually make a change and you get an 
authorization prompt. My answer was focused getting browser-based local 
access working.

Aside from setting which interface to listen on, did you also add an 
Allow directive for your remote machine under the Location sections?

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
   Order allow,deny
</Location>

# Restrict access to the admin pages...
<Location /admin>
   Order allow,deny
</Location>

By default, access is denied unless you whitelist the 
ip/hostname/domain/subnet etc. of the machine your connecting from.

There's an example at the bottom of the manpage for cupsd.conf that 
shows what that would look like.

The following should work. Of course, reversing the order "allow,deny" 
to "deny,allow" in these sections (or using Allow all) will open 
everything up.

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
   Order allow,deny
   Allow ipv4-address (ip address of remote machine)
</Location>

# Restrict access to the admin pages...
<Location /admin>
   Order allow,deny
   Allow ipv4-address (ip address of remote machine)
</Location>

Just depends on how much access you want to allow.
