Use the "Satisfy any" directive to allow either the specified hosts or  
any host with authentication, e.g. for a "staff" network of  
11.22.33.0/24:

     <Location />
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from 11.22.33.0/24
     AuthType Default
     Require valid-user
     Satisfy any
     </Location>

(this goes in cupsd.conf, BTW...)
