Basically, no. It would only allow them to delete and read spool files and logs directly. Logs can usually seen with lpq -v and deleting spool files, unless something has crashed, is generally a bad idea. Look at the /etc/lpd.perms file for user access permissions. Something like: ACCEPT SERVICE=C SERVER REMOTEUSER=<your user> should do the trick. A queue administrator can then use lpc to control the queues.
