    If you'd like to change this, you can modify by using
    "PidFile <filepath>" directive at your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
 
+ - 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).

 Enjoy!
