Cups web interface disabled

I'm trying to setup my hp envy 6452e printer in EasyOS 5.7 Kirkstone. I have been a user on and off of puppy linux since puppy 431. Usually Cups works out of the box with any flavour of puppy I have tried, even StudioPuppy lol.
When I choose Cups out of the setup/hardware, then choosing Cups Printer Management, and clicking "no" on the dialog asking if I'm setting up a new printer since I've already read it 3x, I'm faced with a browser window which reads: Web Interface is Disabled
The web interface is currently disabled. Run "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" to enable it.
Well, upon running the above instructions in a sakura terminal via copy and shift-ctrl-v to paste it there, it reports
cupsctl: Not Found, which is different than the standard 'bash: lov: command not found' (lov is a non-command I used to illustrate the point and has bearing on my question)
Many thanks to anyone who has a good idea of what to do or investigate, please help!

Maybe "cupsctl" is something in cups, not a terminal?

@Derek B
Go to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and add WebInterface Yes to it.
Code: Select all
LogLevel info
SystemGroup lpadmin
# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
# Disable printer sharing.
Browsing Off
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
DefaultAuthType Basic
WebInterface Yes
It'll be better to do this:
Go to /mnt/.easy_ro/easy_sfs/etc/cups and copy cupsd.conf to /etc/cups
Code: Select all
