That did it, thanks.

Specifically:

<Location />
AuthType None
#AuthClass User
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.*  #your network here
#Deny From All
Encryption IfRequested
</Location>
<Location /admin>
AuthType None
#AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.*  #your network here
#Deny From All
Encryption IfRequested
</Location>

And then restart cups.

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart
