Quoting /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.Debian.gz:

 - Administration over the web interface is disabled by default since it
   requires the CUPS daemon to be able to read /etc/shadow.  If you want to
   enable web administration with shadow passwords (authentication type
   'basic'), put the user cupsys into group shadow by

       adduser cupsys shadow

   as root.

   Only users who are in group 'lpadmin' can administrate printers (using
   gnome-cups-manager, lpadmin or any other frontend but the web
   interface).  To allow printer administration to user joe, put him into
   this group by executing

       adduser joe lpadmin

   (again as root).
