Hello,
I'm trying to set up CUPS to allow remote printing, but disable remote access to the cgi management pages. Currently running CUPS 1.3.4.
I've attempted to restrict using the Location tag.
<Location /admin>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
This works for /admin, but when I apply it to /printers, remote ipp printing/queries break. I presume this is because the client is trying to access a resource located in /printers. Is there a way to restrict remote access to the cgi's while enabling access to remotely print/execute ipp queries? I would like to continue to be able to use the print management web pages from the localhost.
