Fudged up my CUPS settings

I have my FC10 laptop connected to a winxp shared printer using cups.  I 
remember it was a bit of a hassle to setup because the xp password had 
special characters so I had to modify a config file somewhere.  Anyway I 
recently was goofing around and tried the Fedora system CUPS config GUI 
(applet?) which seems to have messed up my ability to print. 

So now I have two problems.  One is almost every link in the CUPS web 
interface looks like this: 

http://::1/printers/Okidata?op=print-test-page


The port number is messed up somehow.  For the life of me I can't find 
the config file for this.  Also, I can't get the password working again 
so I need to be able to configure it and the web GUI can't seem to 
handle the special characters I need to login to the share on the XP 
box.  Does anybody have any suggestions?


Thanks - Tod
