I know approximately zero about cups, but I do know there aren't any
licensing issues with https and that it's quite easy to set up an
SSL-enabled server. I use my own, with a MoinMoin wiki that I access
while at the office or on the road. There are a load of SSL tutorials
on the Web. This was on the first page on a google search:

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding the question...
