(I only know about its use in hostnames, e.g. *.example.tld.)
I would try "192.168.1.0/8" or "192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0". In fact, as a first test I would check if it works with "BrowseAllow all". > BrowseInterval 30 > BrowsePort 631 > BrowseOrder allow,deny > #BrowseAllow all > > # Default authentication type, when authentication is required... > DefaultAuthType Basic > > # Restrict access to the server... > <Location /> > Order allow,deny > Allow localhost > Allow @LOCAL > # rd, 20080101 > Allow 192.168.1.* ^^^^^^^^^^^ same here > </Location> > > > A Debian etch system is a cups client only and uses the directive > > ServerName 192.168.1.10 > > in its client.conf.
