You're a real bastard. But not a very capable one. Here you go:

Try "man lpadmin" and "/"-search for "-u allow:user". Or see
what "links http://localhost:631/sam.html" gives you when you
search for "Require user" "Require valid-user". Or google for
"Allow From". Or see what "AuthType Digest" gives you...
