Bug#803006: cups: floods log when trying to print to Samsung printer from remote computer
Followup to this report. I closed the report with:
Having discovered the dodgy USB port on my server (see #808879), I
switched ports and now I can print to this printer remotely with no
problems.
So I'm closing this bug report.
But it turns out that there was a second problem at play: Mac OSX
10.11 (El Capitan) now tries to connect to CUPS servers using IPv6
wherever possible, and so I had to allow the server to accept requests
from certain IPv6 addresses. More details here:

Why the log floods when the connection is not allowed, though, is
beyond me; perhaps the bug report should be reopened?
