I found this bug-report while looking for a way to solve a related
problem; allowing users to cancel print jobs in the Linux Mint 12 Gnome
System Settings -> Printers dialog (the 'stop' button was there but had
no effect).

I noticed null owners in lpq and took a guess that without access to the
owner the 'Printers' dialog permission for the stop couldn't be
verified. In any case, changing the Policy default in
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf in a similar way to that suggested by Jörg (and
restarting cupsd) allowed all users to cancel their print jobs.

<Policy default>
  # Job/subscription privacy...
#  JobPrivateAccess default
#  JobPrivateValues default
  JobPrivateAccess all
  JobPrivateValues none
...

Unless this is a coincidental fix, I'd expect cancelling print jobs to
work with a vanilla installation which seems to imply the apppropriate
cupsd.conf settings are not the current default ones.
