This can be also because of the "auto discovery" feature of CUPS that lists the neighbour printers for user's easiness :-). It can be turned off from "Administration tab → Server configuration, advanced settings → [ ] show printers shared by other systems". > I'm still wondering how to "log off" from the CUPS server so that I > would again be prompted for the admin username/password if I wanted to > change more settings, but I can let that be an issue for another day. The default it has to be a per-session setting, I mean, once you close the browser you will be asked again for root's password to do admin operations (unless you had saved your credenatials using your browser's password manager facility).
