Just a bit of clarification:  

You actually do have "@OWNER" typed in there, you're not supposed to
replace OWNER with real user names.  It's a variable that *it* works out
the meaning of.

Likewise, with @SYSTEM (it's a variable, that it works out what it
means).  Which most likely is just root, but could include other users
with system privileges.  I don't know *how* that interpretation would be
made (perhaps, such as being in the wheel group), I haven't looked that
closely into it.

The original poster had made the point, elsewhere, that they'd tried
adding users to different groups.  But, I don't recall seeing whether
any restarts of software, re-log-in, or reboots, had occurred, so that
any changes can be noticed.  I'd guess that the CUPS daemon would need a
restart, at least.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
