You could add a+rw to the lp devices if that's all you're running on the 
system.
Someone might shout about possible security problems, but you're publishing
the output from the camera anyway.

Apache normally runs scripts as 'nobody'. You can configure the user/group
in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Apache also can run scripts set-uid if 
configured
as such.

My recommendation is probably to chmod a+rw on the lp port. Easy but anyone
else on the system can use them then.

Alternatively create a specific Apache user with similar rights to 'nobody' 
then
change the group of the lp ports to that user and chmod g+rw the lp ports
