Well, I wouldn't say that the KDEPrint web interface is *functional*,
it just presents some info to the user without any interaction possibility.
However, if you want to control a CUPS server remotely, you can do it
through the print manager: just open the settings dialog, and enter the
name of the remote computer where the CUPS server runs. You should be
able to control this remote CUPS server as if it was local.

The only extension of the KDEPrint web interface I can think of, is to
allow the hostname specification in the URL, but this wouldn't give
any control possibilities, neither any way to do it outside konqueror.
