Man lpadmin.

Or use the cups web interface.

Thank you guys for your replies

However, I already know how to configure CUPS (reading its excellent
documentation available on port 631 and all of that). What I do not
know is *who* (or what) keeps touching my CUPS config files.

Is it a daemon?

Or is it that whenever I open the cups web interface (even remotely)
*without saving anything*, it insists on modifying those files?

If you know the answer please tell me.

Thanks!
