My experience at school tells me to propose:

Use the jradmins group. This way not all teachers are automatically 
allowed to manage printers. And there would be the possibility to add 
skilled and reliable students to the jradmins group as well as teachers 
(via GOsa²).

/etc/cups/cups-files.conf: s/SystemGrouup lpadmin/SystemGroup jradmins/

Sites are different, so my option is to keep the cups configuration 
untouched and document this issue in the manual.
