I've kind of imagined that when searched for that "RunAsUser".
The /etc/init.d/cupsys file its starnge...
it creates the pidfile as cupsys:lp
"chown cupsys:lp `dirname "$PIDFILE"`"

and logs as cupsys:lpadmin

"chown cupsys:lpadmin /var/log/cups/$l"

fortunatly these two files aren't any trouble. :P
