cupsd - Allow from LAN not working

[Clive Menzies <clive@clivemenzies.co.uk>]

Hi

I have two servers running cupsd (sarge) and can administer their
printers, locally, as member of the group lpadmin.

For convenience I want to be able to administer both printers from
anywhere on the network.  Historically, I've used ssh/lynx but for
users, I would like to allow them access via http://server:631

I've edited the cupsd.conf file as follows:

## Restrict access to local domain
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.*

as per man cupsd.conf but I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access the resource on this server.

I've also tried 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.0/24 without success; I have
restarted cupsys after each edit.

Has anyone got this working or should I report a bug? .... of course I
may have missed something blindingly obvious ;)

Regards

Clive
