That just prevents unauthenticated root access from remote systems and
does not matter.

No, you don't want this, that will run all filters as root instead of
"lp" which opens you up to lots of security issues.

More than likely the permissions are messed up - please provide the
output of:

     grep -v '^#' /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Also, we'll need to know what version of CUPS you are using (look
for the cupsys package version) and whether you have any of the
SELinux stuff enabled.
