I missed the first part of this thread, but if this is the CUPS web gui served by Apache, try:

<Location /admin>

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168.0.

</Location>

BTW - The Apache documentation states you should use <Directory> rather than <Location> to secure website access. From the Apache 2.0.x documentation:

"It is important to never use <Location> when trying to restrict access to objects in the filesystem. This is because many different webspace locations (URLs) could map to the same filesystem location, allowing your restrictions to be circumvented."
