Can you let me know which manual?
I have gone through the user manual to no avail and I am now going
through the Administrators manual but if it is there I am not seeing it
or do not know what to key off of.
Thank you so much!

In your cupsd.conf, you may specify the access parameters for a specific
printer by
<Location /printers/name_of_the_respecive_printer?op=operation_name>
....
</Location>
where operation_name is the name of the operation like stop-printer,
start-printer, hold-job, release-job,
etc., and "..." denotes all the allowed access specifications (deny,
allow, require valid-user, etc. etc.).
See the documentation for further details.
