Re: cupsd - Allow from LAN not working

[John Miller <debian@jorymil.com>]

This'll probably tend towards the obvious side, but make sure that you've

<Location /> and <Location /admin>
sections.  Can the workstations submit print jobs and just not access the 
admin stuff, or are they totally CUPS-disabled?
