I've read "Managing Operations Policies" and understand that "operation policies can only add additional security restrictions to a request, never relax them" - but I'm adding them here.

Hmm, the AuthType should kick in the authentication requirement -
cupsdIsAuthorized() only uses the requesting-user-name value if
AuthType is None or unspecified...

Can you run with LogLevel set to debug2 and provide me with the
cupsdIsAuthorized messages (off-line, if you wish)?
