There are two main means by which access is retricted to CUPS: IP address and user/group. On 'localhost' (where CUPS) is installed, add yourself/users to group 'lpadmin'.

To provide access from other machines on the network edit cupsd.conf:

<Location /admin>
#
# You definitely will want to limit access to the administration
# functions.
# The default configuration requires a local connection from a user who
# is a member of the system group to do any admin tasks.  You can change
# the group name using the SystemGroup directive.
#

AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
