As long as you use official Dapper packages, you haven't.

Ubuntu has forked CUPS sources, and patched them to run cupsd as 
user "cupsys", not root. This does imply all kinds of twists to 
standard CUPS behavior. And you can't even use "RunAsUser No"
like it used to be, when this option was still officially part 
of CUPS (in the 1.1.x series).

Also, browse.conf and ports.conf are not standard CUPS.org config
files. It's an Ubuntu tweak (but it utilizes the "Include" config
directive supported by CUPS).

Cheers,
