CUPS Authentication

[Ben Ricker]

You have warring Allows. Allow from All also Allows from 127.0.0.1.

Would you want to get rid of the "Allow from All". That way, you only 
allow to print to that printer from the locahost.

A bigger question is how can a neighbor print to a printer on YOUR local 
network?

As far as I know, you cannot allow no password from localhost while 
requiring a password for everyone else on teh same printer. Ahow about 
setting up another printer that allows from all but requires Basic Auth?
