Suppose you browse the web as an administrator and you enter
a malicious website which sends a virus or a trojan hors to
your own computer.

Then your entire system can be compromised.

If you do the same thing as a severely restricted user (especially 
under Windows), compromising your entire computer will be harder, 
and in the worst case you'd only lose your own files, but not other 
users' files or the entire system. 

That being said, I don't see any relation between your question
and CUPS.

hth anyway
