Small problem, upon selecting "allow printing from internet" in the web interface and committing the changes, the server restarts and the check box is empty again.  In quick tests, the other options can be turned on and off as you would expect.  Is there something particular to the Apple 10.5.1 install that would not permit internet printing or not permit this change?

I think the check box state in the web interface is a known bug in
CUPS 1.3.4.
