>From my cusd.conf:

# User (User)
#
# The user the server runs under. Normally this
# must be lp, however you can configure things for another user
# as needed.
#
# Note: the server must be run initially as root to support the
# default IPP port of 631. It changes users whenever an external
# program is run...
#
# ex: lp
#
#User lp

User lp

I tried sys, system, root, and lpadmin with and without my root password-
all to no avail.

Also, it is not just a restart that causes the permissions to revert back to
root only. Unfortunately, I did not notice when it happened again.
