"A problem existed with previous versions of CUPS that made CUPS
printers accessible from anywhere on the internet. A bug also existed
where CUPS would broadcast to everywhere and thus keep open dial-on-
demand lines. Both problems have been addressed in this update and by
an automatic configuration script.

Update :

Due to a problem in packaging that is not easily resolved, users will
have to manually edit the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and include in the
beginning of the file the following line :

All Linux-Mandrake users using CUPS should edit this file and include
that line to properly secure CUPS. This fix will only work with
cups-1.1.4-5.1mdk and higher."
