as far as I know we (i.e. SUSE) don't have such own APIs.

In particular the YaST printer module is basically
only a frontend for CUPS command line tools.

In general see the section
"Allow printer admin tasks for a normal user"
in
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell

This article became meanwhile rather old
so some specific information could be outdated
but the general information should be still true.
