CUPS under RHEL 5

Hello,

I am using cups under RHEL 5.
The cups version is: 1.2.4-11.14.el5_1.1

I have noticed that cups is running as root

        ps -ef | grep -i cups

        root     27483     1  0 18:57 ?        00:00:03 cupsd

but the backend that cups uses is running under user lp.

1) Is it suppose to work that way ?
2) Can I change the configuration to force cups to run the backend as root also ?

Thanks,
