first of all, Tim Waugh is the guy to listen to on these matters and if
we tell you different things, ignore me and listen to him.

Cups by default doesn't allow networked users to use the print queue. I
don't recall the cups interface (http://localhost:631) permitting you to
change that.

I do recall that 'system-config-printer' has a check box associate with
each printer which allows you to 'share' the printer with others on the
LAN and that may be the better tool for this purpose.

FWIW on my cups print server on my lan, I use this ( the last few lines
of /etc/cups/cups.conf)

<Location />

Allow From 127.0.0.1
