Here's what seems to be the relevant section of my cupsd.conf.  See 
cupsd.conf(5) and the CUPS administrator's manual, and adjust to suit 
your circumstances.  Good luck, Andrew.

<Location /admin>
#
# You definitely will want to limit access to the administration 
functions.
# The default configuration requires a local connection from a user who
# is a member of the system group to do any admin tasks.  You can change
# the group name using the SystemGroup directive.

AuthType Basic
AuthClass System

## Restrict access to local domain
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1

#Encryption Required
