Toggling printer sharing *will* affect the browse and allow settings.
(that's kind of the point...)

The simplest way is to change the "Allow from @LOCAL" lines to be
"Allow from all".  You can also use the web interface and check the
"Allow printing from the Internet", which does the same.  If you
don't want to open up that much, just add "Allow from" lines for
each subnet.

Once you make this change, *do not* toggle the printer sharing box,
or you'll have to make the changes all over again.
