@LOCAL is a replacement for all subnets which are directly connected to your
computer.
example:
Your computer has 2 interfaces:
eth0 192.168.1.23/255.255.255.0
eth1 10.0.0.140/255.0.0.0
---- for this example ----
BrowseAllow @LOCAL
is equal to
BrowseAllow 192.168.1.23/24
BrowseAllow 10.0.0.140/8

Your CUPS daemon allows broadcasts on eth0 (@LOCAL). Look into your cups
error_log file during start of cupsd (LogLevel should be at least info).
best regards!
