Yup, as I see it using cups-pk-helper gives two layers of auth, one for
cupsd and another for policy-kit. Using cups-pk-helper as lpadmin or
root would override cupsd permissions as it'll be running with all
privileges, but there's still the policy-kit permissions.
Right now, I've tested it,
It's fine to have root as member of the lpadmin group. BUT… it's not
fine to have cups-pk-helper run as root and allow unauthorized users (in
CUPS' eyes) cancel other user's jobs.
This should be fixed in cups-pk-helper through making it interact with
CUPS using the requesting user's user. This
shemgp, unfortunately, your newest patch still does not solve the
problem for me.

There is no user "lpadmin". With "run as lpadmin" I mean run as a user
