You can run cupsd with the LogLevel set to "debug2", which will yield lines with "cupsdCheckGroup" in the error_log file - verify that the username and group name are coming through properly.

If so, you could try a short program to verify that getgrnam returns something, e.g.:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <grp.h>

    int main(void)
    {
      struct group *group = getgrnam("yourgroupname");

      if (group)
      {
        int i;
        printf("gr_name=\"%s\"\n", group->gr_name);
        printf("gr_passwd=\"%s\"\n", group->gr_passwd);
        printf("gr_gid=%d\n", (int)group->gr_gid);
        puts("gr_mem=");
        for (i = 0; group->gr_mem[i]; i ++)
          printf("  \"%s\"\n", group->gr_mem[i]);
      }
      else
        puts("NOT FOUND");

      return (0);
    }
