I have tried on my system, and I, with my user password, can add a new printer, via cups web interface.
Not by default (in particular not on my openSUSE 10.2 system). If it would be possible by default, it would be a major bug.
No, of course not, not by default. I did it that way many months ago, so that I don't remember what I did O:-) My point was that it is possible to let a normal user add printers, if so wanted.
What exactly is your system? Which printer setup tools did you use? Did you install whatever special printing-related packages (e.g. third-party drivers or a Novell iPrint client package)?
Only one user, me, I'm root also, so the only user is as safe as root, he won't be "dafter" than Mr root ;-) Home system, inkjet printer (canon bjc4000), with turboprint driver. I use cups for printer setup, not Yast (I do use Yast during system install, then switch to cups web interface).
What are the active lines in your cupsd.conf? Show them via egrep -v '^$|^#' /etc/cups/cupsd.conf | fold -s -w60
Mmm, fold? That's new for me... Ah, I see. Interesting. Ok, here goes:
