About all you can do is create a UNIX group (in /etc/group) that
lists all of your users that need to do this, and then set the
SystemGroup directive in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to the name of the
group you created.

This will mean that all users in that group will have complete
printer administration privileges on the server.
