This is a follow-up to an earlier posting (from yesterday):

I am running 1.1.20 (Debian testing version) and cannot get past the
point of installing a printer.  Every attempt to modify or print gets
a 403 response.

Here's cupsd.conf:

ServerName treehouse.ellisonet.ca
DefaultCharset notused
LogLevel debug2
Printcap /var/run/cups/printcap
BrowseAllow 192.168.1.*
BrowseOrder allow,deny
SystemGroup lpadmin
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3
</Location>

</Location>
<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass SystemGroup

</Location>

Here is a relevant chunk of /var/log/cups/error_log:

I have tried setting AuthType to None, with the same result.

I assume that I have something wrong in cupsd.conf, though until
sometime yesterday, everything was working fine.

When I access localhost:631/admin, I now get no request to log in,
though I did earlier.  I have since purged cups from the system, and
am prepared to try again to re-install.
 
TIA
