[cups.general] Running pure windows client (no samba) - authentication issue

I'd like to organise printing from my windows machines to my linux box
without bothering with samba. I see this little howto:

http://open-systems.ufl.edu/services/printing/cups/

Which basically says to use an Internet Printing queue with the address:

http://server:631/printing/queue

and to use the windows printer drivers appropriate for the printer.

My problem is "Could not connect to printer. Access is denied"

I have had a look through my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and see lots of
access and security directives, but I am not sure what options I need in
order to grant access to my local lan to print, but not compromise other
security features (like configuring cups etc). 

With debug2 turned on the logging looks like this:
