I've run in to that in regards to ACLs in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf in my
experience. Here's what I've seen work (duplicated for <Location /admin>
also).

#############
SystemGroup foo   # where foo is your POSIX group of printer admins

<Location /jobs>

AuthType Basic
AuthClass System

Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.*    # or whatever your network is
Allow From 192.268.2.*    # etc.
</Location>
##############

Those kinds of changes to cupsd.conf can get eaten by using
system-config-printer (System -> Administration -> Printing), so I do it
all in the config file and _never_ touch the GUI tool again.
