[cups.general] How to restrict the print access ?

[v.sudeep at exgate.tek.com]

Hi !!!

I am no expert at this... but I was wondering if it would work if you used
the "BrowseDeny" "BrowseAllow" and "BrowseOrder" parameters of the
cupsd.conf file. 

The problem with AuthType is that it is w.r.t to the http requests to the
"jobs" and "printers" directory of the web admin only. This would allow
printing to continue but will not allow browsing the pages
"http://<ipaddress>:<portno>/jobs" and
"http://<ipaddress>:<portno>/printers".

Hope this helps...

Hello,
  I want to restrict the print access on my Linux box so that  only some 
few other machines can print using my CUPS. Therefore, I tried in 
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
------------------
<Location /jobs>
#
# You may wish to limit access to job operations, either with Allow
# and Deny lines, or by requiring a username and password.
#
AuthType Basic
AuthClass User
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow 127.0.0.1
Allow 195.113.22.140
</Location>
<Location /printers>
#
# You may wish to limit access to printers and classes, either with Allow
# and Deny lines, or by requiring a username and password.
#
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow 127.0.0.1
Allow 195.113.22.140
</Location>
--------------------
but I still can print from another machine. How do I restrict the access 
?? I am using cupsys  version 1.1.20final+rc....

Thanks a lot for any hint,
          best regards
                                Tomas Davidek
