yes, you are missing something. From 'man lppasswd':
DESCRIPTION
lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest
password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd
will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the
super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change
existing accounts (username), or delete accounts (-x username)
in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to
match local UNIX user‐ names.
