It looks to me that more changes would be needed. At least I conclude
that from the folllowing section of the cupsd.conf file:
 # All administration operations require an administrator to
authenticate...
  <Limit CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer CUPS-Delete-Printer
CUPS-Add-Modify-Class CUPS-Delete-Class CUPS-Set-Default
CUPS-Get-Devices>
    AuthType Default
    Require user @SYSTEM
    Order deny,allow
  </Limit>
