AuthClass User
There's a User root at the top of cupsd.conf.User
Examples
User lp
User guest
Description
The User directive specifies the UNIX user that filter and CGI programs run as. The default user is _lp.
Note:
You may not use user root, as that would expose the system to unacceptable security risks. The scheduler will automatically choose user nobody if you specify a user whose ID is 0.

Read about it in one of the links I posted at the top - basically the CUPS people decided it was too insecure to be able to delete jobs anonymously... rather than putting the onus on network administrators to configure things securely if they want security, they just made it impossible to make it insecureBut I'm always curious about why something is wrong before just applying a patch. Can you tell me?
