+The cups management pages should appear at http://<ip_address_of_indicator>:631
+
+It is showing "Not found" but it is shows "CUPS v2.4.2" so it seems the cups web server is running but some page information is missing. 
+
+Adding "/admin" to the url shows the administration page, but it is missing style information.
+
+
+
+After some research it seems the Yocto recipe "cups-doc" is needed to provide the static page information such as index.html and cups.css. I will add this to our build.
+
+Tried to add a network printer.
+
+
+
+Maybe printer test page is also part of cups-doc recipe.
