Looks OK. I had suscpected that you had something like this included

  [CUPS]
  Host=12.13.14.15
  Login=myusername-on-12.13.14.15
  Port=631
  SavePassword=true

This would have made kprinter trying to login and access cupsd at
remote IP 12.13.14.15

This regex misses all lines starting with a "<", such as
the <Location....> tags....

Looks good. One other option that could make CUPS clients to access
a remote CUPS print server instead of the localhost one is the existence
of one or two files:

  $HOME/.cupsrc
  /etc/cups/client.conf

with the directive "ServerName [some-remote-host-put-in-here]".
