CUPS on Linux Remote Admin

[appi]

Hi all,

I am searching for the configuration of getting the "CUPS Admin" remotely via Browser.
Which confighuration do i need to change, I got the message that it's forbidden to get this site as I go for

http://host.domain:631

btw - its S.u.S.E Server 8.1 (United 1.0).

regards
Uwe

Hi Eric,
I tried this, but after reloading the config (cups reload) the site isn't reachable again. May be it is neccesary to restart the cups - reload could be not enough ?

Here's my config-section - pls take a look if there's a discrepancy in it.
regards
Uwe
