Definitely looks like a permissions problem. Look at cupsd.conf security
section.

Something like

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.0/24
</Location>

This should allow localhost plus, anything on 192.168.1.x, you might be
able to use 192.168.1.* notation as well.

A good trick would be

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

Which should allow any local connections, but no remote connections. I
have never tried it personally, but I hear good things. Make sure you
restart cups after changing this file.
