CUPS-webinterface: wrong links?

I've got a working print server in my little network.
Assumed, the server's IP is 192.168.1.2, I can open the webinterface
from my Laptop to administrate the server remotely. Everything seems to
be working, but: on the page, where all the printers are listed, the
links for all the jobs concerning printer administration are wrong: they
point to 127.0.0.1:631/printers/mylovelyprinter

If I type this link into the browsers's address field and correct the ip
to 192.168.1.2, the desired page is shown, no problem.

I have read and tried out several examples of cupsd.conf-Files in the
internet - without any success.

So, what can I do?

Thanks!

Could this be a relative of this bug? In this case, it's turning up an
IPv6 'localhost', and then regarding it as a malformed URL.

For all I know this can't be configured within cupsd.conf. There one just
allows or denies remote administration. How does it look like if you
start a web browser on the machine running the server and use localhost
instead of the ip address?

Posting the version number of cups as a start?

It will be either a bug in cups or something strange in the network
setup. Disabling ipv6 would be an idea. Who does need that anyway? ;-)

exactly.

It works, although it is not quite comfortable (I did not get
X-forwarding running, so I used the text-based lynx-browser)

1.3.9

It's disabled.

I have updated the system to 1.3.11
No problems anymore.
