Regarding the question in comment #6
"How is cups verifying that a request is legit?"
See
"Authentication Issues" at
http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.5/security.html
In particular authentication for "root" on "localhost"
happens via /var/run/cups/certs/0
By default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf contains
--------------------------------------------------------------
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
--------------------------------------------------------------
But listening on the domain socket is not required.
It is only required that cupsd listens on localhost:631.
Local clients can connect to the cupsd as they like
but should fall-back to localhost:631 if connection
via domain socket is not possible.
