/etc/cups/cupsd.conf  has not been directly edited by me.  The 
additions from
printtool appear as

<Location /printers/gc-hp216>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
AuthType None
</Location>


/etc/hosts.allow contains

all:  127.0.0.1

The printers are on the network.  We are just having Linux serve them 
to our Windows, Mac and unix computers.
If a job gets stuck on a printer, we can kill easily kill the problem 
job.

Windows through samba are printing to the Linux served printers.  
Although I am having other problems with samba.
