In cupsd.conf there is there are two access controls:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>

and

<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System

## Restrict access to local domain
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Encryption Required
</Location>

If you add "Allow From (yourlocalnet)" you can access cups on the lan -

You can also have it just for one ip address too.

You will have to restart cups to get this to work.

Of course, the url is server:631
