I ran ito that too, and kept changing the options around based on the 
10,000 monkeys writing Shakespear theory.  At any rate, something I 
did finally made it ask me for roots password when I request something 
along those lines, and when I enter it, the cancel or whatever is then 
done.

Its probably something in the Location Admin...  Some snips from 
my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From @LOCAL
</Location>

[...]

<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From @LOCAL
</Location>

YMMV of course.
