You may want to try the following, although cups should know it's own
port number:

ServerName 192.168.0.7:631

You shouldn't need to change anything on the cups config hosting the
printer. If anything. You might need to edit the config to allow
sharing, as Josh suggested. Change /etc/cupsd.conf to look something
like this:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.0.*
</Location>

With the above setup, you should be able to browse the printers from
your browser on anycomputer on the network with http://192.168.0.7:631
