Thanks, but I am not sure I got the point. I tried to include the
BrowseDeny and BrowseAllow options in the cupsd.conf (see attachment),
but printing still works from any machine.
I can understand that putting the Deny or Allow commands into the
recpective <Location ..> causes (non-)availability of the given http
directory, but still don't know how to restrict the printing access ?
Any other idea, please ?
