Have you ever looked at the difference of the directives

Satisfy Any
Satisfy All

inside <Location> and <Limit> sections inside cupsd.conf ?

If not, see here:

Disclaimer: I've not yet tested this with multiple "AuthType" statements
(or it was long ago and I don't remember the results), but this may be
the way to try and achieve what you want.
