don't know if you would be affected, but this is what I would have
listed in /etc/hosts.allow:

cupsd : localhost 127.0.0.1 : allow
cupsd : 192.168. : allow
cupsd : 10. : allow
cupsd : all : deny

This allows localhost and all internal ips to use it, but nothing else.
You can lock it down even tighter, but this gives you the general idea.
