Nothing untoward here that I can see. You should, if this queue is
shared, be able to see its URI from the client with 'lpinfo -v' and
'lpstat -l -e'. What do they give?

I've never come across that before. "Forbidden" simply shouldn't happen.
It looks like the client is denying access to its cupsd.
A common way to access the print queue on the server is to set a queue
up on the client. The state of this *local queue* is shown by the lpstat
command run on the client. What is happening on the server is of no
consequence.
Are you using a client.conf in $HOME/.cups or /etc/cups?
Anything in /etc/cups/ppd?
What do you have for 'ls -l /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?
