Okay, in the CUPS web interface on the "remote" machine (the machine
that has the printer connected), you only need to worry about about
making sure the check box "Share published printers connected to this
system" is checked. This turns on advertising and should auto-magically
setup you local machine to use the printer on he remote machine. It also
removes any permission problems you might have.
You may have to do this from the machine with the printer attached, as
the default is to not check: "Allow remote administration"
I'd also suggest you check the "Allow users to cancel any job (not just
their own)" check box. It just makes things easier to deal with,
especially if you have Windows machines trying to print via Samba.
The allow by IP stuff you are trying, get to be a BIG hassle and begins
to fall apart quickly once you add other machines into the fray.
