i am not using f9, nor windows. i do use cups under another system, but
not this one so i can not look at conf files.

from above, i have a question. what would happen if you changed above
to read;

  <Location /printers/officejet>
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow From 127.0.0.1
  Allow From 192.168.2.0
  Deny From All
  AuthType None
  </Location>

this is logic order of 'host' allow then deny.

just a thought.
