CUPS log files flooding

[Margaret Doll]

The changes that I found on the cupsd.conf file included:

The configuration file that I had been using successfully included

#Port 80
#Port 443
Port 631

The new configuration file had the following entry for each printer

<Location /printers/gc-hp201>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
AuthType None
Allow from Al
</Location>l
