Thanks for all who responded. Here are the results.

1. Inspite of those of you who assumed otherwise, the printer changes
(except for a few things that are not changeable vi the gui) WERE made
via the :631 gui.

2. The following code is the problem:

Before:

<Location />
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
  Allow @LOCAL
  Allow 192.168.0.8       <== ip address of the laptop
  Deny all
  AuthType None
</Location>

All attempts to do anything (printing, lpq -h 192.168.0.3) from the
client resulted in a 403 error.

After (suggestion of a local experenced cups user):

<Location />
  Allow localhost
  Allow @LOCAL
  Allow 192.168.0.8       <== ip address of the laptop
  Deny all
  AuthType None
</Location>

Everything now just works.

He shakes his head, mutters about inscrutable parameters and side effects.
