Hello

I would like to administer the CUPS / LPD printers of my D3-Linux from
a networked PC, rather than the Main console.

I am aware, you can simply run a WEB page

http://localhost:631

to bring up the CUPS WEB page.

However, I would like to invoke this from a PC

http://192.168.0.1:631

or something, but the PAGE will not load.

I am aware you must configure CUPS to "allow" remote admin, but do not
know which parameters need chaning to enable this

TIA

John

The offending entries should be in cupsd.conf

Allow
Examples

Allow from All
Allow from None
Allow from *.domain.com
Allow from .domain.com
Allow from host.domain.com
Allow from nnn.*
Allow from nnn.nnn.*
Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.*
Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mm
Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
Allow from @LOCAL
Allow from @IF(name)

Description

The Allow directive specifies a hostname, IP address, or network that is
allowed access to the server. Allow directives are cummulative, so
multiple Allow directives can be used to allow access for multiple hosts
or networks. The /mm notation specifies a CIDR netmask:
mm netmask mm netmask
0 0.0.0.0 8 255.0.0.0
1 128.0.0.0 16 255.255.0.0
2 192.0.0.0 24 255.255.255.0
.... ... 32 255.255.255.255

The @LOCAL name will allow access from all local network interfaces, but
not remote point-to-point interfaces. The @IF(name) name will allow
access from the named interface.

=============================

You'll probably need to restart cups (rccups reload or rccups restart)
