When I try to browse to the web interface (http://192.168.1.4:631 and https://192.168.1.4:631), I'm getting a HTTP 403 Forbidden error.

Perhaps there's an access control list in place in the default configuration. Have you looked at the log files on the machine that is running cupsd?

The server running CUPS has no GUI, so I can't test to see if the web interface works there or not.

Of course you can test it. sudo apt-get install lynx-cur && lynx http://localhost:631
