7 127.0.0.1 is localhost (loopback) and is needed for your computer to
8 be able to connect to its own cupsd and thus be able to print.

15 I assume you have replaced @LOCAL with @192.168.0.1/24 or whatever the
16 local address is?

24 OK, but 0.0.0.0 is *every* address in the universe, not the localhost
25 address. Add localhost:631 it should do the same job like 127.0.0.1.
26
27 Finally, check that the Deny/Allow is set to Deny all and Allow
28 127.0.0.1. Otherwise I've run out of ideas . . .
