I' just tested by first looking at the cupsd.conf and then turning on
allow remote administration via the gui
(System|Administration|Printing|Server|Settings|'Allow remote
administration'). Used http://<ipofothersystem>:631
These areas are the most obvious that changed:

Before:
<Location /admin>
  # Restrict access to the admin pages...
  Order allow,deny
</Location>
<Location /admin/conf>
  AuthType Default
  Require user @SYSTEM
  # Restrict access to the configuration files...
  Order allow,deny
</Location>

After:
<Location /admin>
  # Allow remote administration...
  Order allow,deny
  Allow @LOCAL
</Location>
<Location /admin/conf>
  AuthType Default
  Require user @SYSTEM
  # Allow remote access to the configuration files...
  Order allow,deny
  Allow @LOCAL
</Location>

Note the 'Allow @LOCAL'.

Probably the easiest way for you is to do the same on your machine with
a gui and do a diff of the cupsd.conf file before and after.
