I have tried on my system, and I, with my user password, can add a new
printer, via cups web interface.
Maybe I have cups as too permisive, but as I'm also root and the only one
using this computer, so it doesn't matter. If I had more users, I could
modify it, I think, so that only a group of users have that privilege.
But my point is that it is possible to allow users to add new printers,
without root's password.
