Thats a good thing.  Nobody here takes offense to that.  I *always*
replace my IP info on stuff I post here.  More people should be as
paranoid, imho.  :)

Now for some (filtered) .conf stuff:

this is from my cupd.conf file, we'll assume my home network is
192.168.0.0/24...

## IIRC, this is the section for http://mycupsserver:631

# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ as stated by another poster before, this

The first section allows/disallows access to the 'user' section, the
second clip is for access to the 'administrator' site...

HTH!  :)
