My printer is attached to box borg, and boxes david and chameleon print only 
to that.  (I'm still on FC4, so anything that has changed since then will 
have to be considered.)  On the local box:

/etc/cups/client.conf
ServerName borg.mylan.net

The following lines are at the end of /etc/cups/cups.conf:

#
# End of "$Id: cupsd.conf.in,v 1.17 2005/01/03 19:29:45 mike Exp $".
#
<Location /printers/printer>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
AuthType None
Allow from 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
</Location>
# Lines below are automatically generated - DO NOT EDIT
Browsing On
BrowseProtocols cups
BrowseOrder Deny,Allow
BrowseAllow from @LOCAL
Listen 127.0.0.1:631

As far as I can recall, ONLY the line in /etc/cups/client.conf was inserted by 
me.

On borg - the print server - the generated lines in cups.conf indicate the 
separate instances of the same printer that I have set up for different 
purposes:

# End of "$Id: cupsd.conf.in,v 1.17 2005/01/03 19:29:45 mike Exp $".

FWIW, I set this up before I read the conventional wisdom that one should not 
mix cups configuration and system-config-printer.  I used both tools, and 
have had no problems.  HTH
