127.0.0.1 is localhost (loopback) and is needed for your computer to
be able to connect to its own cupsd and thus be able to print.

I assume you have replaced @LOCAL with @192.168.0.1/24 or whatever the
local address is?

OK, but 0.0.0.0 is *every* address in the universe, not the localhost
address.  Add localhost:631 it should do the same job like 127.0.0.1.

Finally, check that the Deny/Allow is set to Deny all and Allow
127.0.0.1.  Otherwise I've run out of ideas . . .
