Does anyone know if it's possible to limit access to the CUPS Web Interface to certain IP address, but still allow printing from other IPs?

You could maybe use the <Location> sections and the "Allow From ... / Deny From" words.
For example something you could try :
<Location />
Order deny,allow
Allow From {List of IP adresses}
</Location>
<Location /printers>
Order allow,deny
Allow From All
</Location>
Like this all of the computer could access to the printers and their description pages but not to all the web interface.
I hope that i could help you.
