I finally figured it out.

Once I changed the "Allow" argument to a *numeric* IP address, it worked!

What I don't understand is the online documentation states:

    <Location /path>                                                                           
      ...                                                                                      
      Allow from All                                                                           
      Allow from None                                                                          
 ==>  Allow from *.domain.com                                                                  
 ==>  Allow from .domain.com                                                                   
 ==>  Allow from host.domain.com                                                               
      Allow from nnn.*                                                                         
      Allow from nnn.nnn.*                                                                     
      Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.*                                                                 
      Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn                                                               
      Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mm                                                            
      Allow from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm                                               
      Allow from xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx                                       
      Allow from @LOCAL                                                                        
      Allow from @IF(name)                                                                     
    </Location>                                                                                

Because of that, I had originally used the FQDN.

Anyway, I can now proceed to configure some remote printers.


Thanks for everyone's help!
