Here is an explanation on order directive from http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/home/koe/docs/manuals/api/access_conf.html



  order allow, deny    
    Specifies which order the allow and deny directives will    be evaluated. In this case, the allow directives are the    default and the deny directives override the defaults.       
 order deny, allow     
    Specifies which order the allow and deny directives will      be evaluated. In this case, the deny directives are the      default and the allow directives override the defaults.        Note on order The order directives, borrowed from      the NCSA httpd configuration format, can be confusing.      order allow,deny means that any host that      matches an allow directive will      be granted permission unless it also matches a deny      directive. If the host doesn't match any pattern, it will be      denied. 

So accordingly all are denied access. The reason that removing the line did not have effect is that the configuration file has to be reloaded. You can restart cups with
     /etc/init.d/cupsd restart

after making the configuration change.

Removing it had no effect.
