I never heard about such an issue before and
I have no idea what goes wrong on your system.
Reasoning:
When printing a file as normal user e.g. via
user@host$ lp -d queue_name /etc/SuSE-release
nothing accesses a file in /var/spool/cups/ directly.
Instead the lp program which is run by the normal user
connects to the local running cupsd via TCP socket
on localhost:631 and sends the content of /etc/SuSE-release
to the cupsd.
Then the cupsd which runs as root stores the received
content as /var/spool/cups/d* data file together
with a /var/spool/cups/c* control file which the
cupsd has generated to store print job information.
Therefore the user does not need any access permissions
for /var/spool/cups/ and the cupsd has them all because
it runs as root.
A blind guess:
The only thing which might cause such strange messages
could be special security stuff like AppArmor or PolicyKit
or SELinux or whatever which can even limit the usually
unlimited permissions of a process which runs as root
(so that the cupsd could not access /var/spool/cups/).
I close it for now as "worksforme".
Please reopen if you can provide more detailed
step by step information how to reproduce the issue.
Perhaps you may also do a complete new Milestone 6
installation from scratch to avoid whatever awkward
update problems.
