Ok, fail enough. The client.conf files on all the machines are just
those distributed without change. I have attached my cupsd.conf file
from the server.
The key changes were these:
Listen 192,168.1.100  <-- the address of my print server


<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.1.*  <-- the subnet of my home network.
</Location>

.
.
<Location /printers/ophelia>  <-- ophelia is the printer on my server.
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From ALL
AuthType None
</Location>

The cupsd.conf on the clients were the files as distributed
I hope all this helps someone out there.

Note: as I said before the clients could not have a line in the
clients.conf file identifying the print server if that machine has a
local printer. Havinig that line prevents the client from printing to
its local printer.
