As long as CUPS is linked against the PAM libraries, it should use
the LDAP accounts for Basic authentication.

That said, you'll still need to manage group memberships via
/etc/group since CUPS does not currently support user and group
lookups from LDAP, only from the system files and lppasswd.md5.
