look into cupsd.conf:

<Location /admin>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny From All
   Allow From 127.0.0.1
## hier a local subnet is added
   Allow From 192.168.0.*
## hier another subnet is addet
   Allow From *.rescue-engineering.net
</Location>

now restart cupsd.
make sure that port 631 is available für the other subnets.
open interface by "http://[IP of your Cupsserver]:631

that's all.
