Authentication required for any IP except localhost?

I want to have free access to cups from localhost, but I want to use AuthType Basic for web access from any other IP.

So I tried adding 'AuthType Basic' under <Location /> section.

This works, so anyone should login to access web interface.

But I can't no longer print form localhost. I think I should authenticate to be able to print. (by example printing from openoffice I see "Generic Printer" instead of the installed printer, and if I submit the printing I get an error in openoffice)

removing authtype from <Location /> the printer restart working.

Any suggestione?

Tnx in advance
