My config is already almost exactly like that, except that my config
does not specify:
Listen 127.0.0.1:631

and this was enabled to allow other local CUPS servers (on a laptop
computer) to print to my printer:

BrowseAddress @LOCAL

I tried adding "Listen 127.0.0.1:631" but cups actually refused to
start because it was "
Unable to bind socket for address 00000000:631 - Address already in use."

my CUPS automatically listens on: 0.0.0.0:631
