I'm afraid that is beyond the scope of the current Gnome CUPS Manager
:-( Maybe in the next version...

In the meantime you have to change /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. The relevant
parts are:

  Listen 127.0.0.1:631

which restricts listening for requests to the local computer (either
add a similar Listen statement for every IP that should have access,
or replace this by "Port 631" to listen to any IP)

and

  <Location />
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny From All
  Allow From 127.0.0.1
  </Location>

Similarly, just add some "Allow From" lines with the hosts/networks
that should have access. The different possibilities how to specify a
network are explained in the config file (e.g. 192.168.1.*)
