My CUPS server is accessible from my local network, it was quite a while
ago when I configured this.  I dont exactly remeber what/why I did, but
here is a snip from my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file that may give you a hint:


<Location />
Encryption IfRequested
Satisfy All
Order deny,allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.0.*
</Location>

<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Encryption IfRequested
Satisfy All
Order deny,allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.0.*
</Location>

| | Yes. The result in IE is, "The Page cannot be displayed".
|
| http://localhost:631/ from your windows machine *is* the windows

| | Actually i'm attempting to access from an XP comp, and the firewall is
