cups user authentication for remote users: make it ask for a password!

I can't understand cups configuration for a network server.  I want to
print from my laptop to my desktop, and it works fine to enable
sharing in cups.

However, that makes my desktop printer available to everybody on the
subnet.  There does not appear to be a way to specify "all users on my
desktop computer" plus "paul on a remote system when he gives a
password". The cups user control thing seems to have no password
authentication framework.

Can you advise?
