[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

The issue is that custom configurations and the web interface check boxes
do not always interact nicely. What is happening is that the web interface
is applying all of the settings from the form, leading to the underlying
libcups API "cleaning up" the cupsd.conf file to conform to the requested
settings.

In the case of allowing access from any client, you can check the "allow
printing from the Internet" box. In general, however, you don't want to
mix hand-editing cupsd.conf with changing the basic settings in the web
interface...
