To actually add a printer, +you have to visit the @url{http://localhost:631} URL, or use a tool such +as GNOME's printer configuration services. By default, configuring a +CUPS service will generate a self-signed certificate if needed, for +secure connections to the print server. + +One way you might want to customize CUPS is to enable or disable the web +interface.

By default, CUPS only supports encryption +using TLS v1.0 or higher using known secure cipher suites. The +@code{AllowRC4} option enables the 128-bit RC4 cipher suites, which are +required for some older clients that do not implement newer ones.
