I suspected something like that would be needed. 

In a possible use case, I have one master CUPS and several client
CUPSes that receive printer definitions via browsing.

Will configuring permissions on one of the CUPS clients work? I.e., if
I run lpadmin -u deny:joe on one of the clients, will joe be
disallowed to print to that printer from that client, or from all
clients? Or must I configure permission on the master CUPS for this to
work well? 

On the same matter - what permissions do I need to have to configure
allow/deny lists for a printer? Can I do it remotely with a
non-root-user?
