[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

The BrowseAllow and BrowseDeny directives work on the source addresses in
the broadcasts from each server and not using the hostnames or IPs in the
printer URIs in the browse packets.

If you have a server that has multiple addresses on the same physical
interface, the source address can vary depending on the configuration and
OS used. If you have multiple cupsd's running on that server, there is no
way to filter out printers based on the address alone - you'll need to use
BrowsePoll instead and point it at the specific instance you want to see on
the local system.
