If you need detailed support, you can for example contact
our support department.

See for example the
"Allow printer management (start/stop) and only that."
mail thread on this list.

There is no official way to do this in the current release;
CUPS 1.2 provides per-operation and per-queue admin policies
which is probably what you need in the long term.

Some users have been using:

    <Location /admin?op=foo>
    Require user root
    etc.
    </Location>

to override specific admin operations (the same works for
printers and jobs, BTW) from the web interface.
"foo" for the admin interface is one of:

    start-printer
    stop-printer
    accept-jobs
    reject-jobs
    purge-jobs
    add-class
    add-printer
    modify-class
    modify-printer
    delete-class
    delete-printer
    config-printer

See the "CUPS Software Administrators Manual" about
"PreserveJobFiles".
