Package: cups-daemon Version: 2.2.4-7 Severity: important File: /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
Dear Maintainer, Since cups 1.5 job-originating-user-name is a JobPrivateValues. JobPrivateAccess gives access to @OWNER and @SYSTEM by default. Since Debian cups /etc/cups/cups-files.conf set @SYSTEM to lpadmin only root is not allowed. And cups-pk-helper which gnome-control-center printers panel jobs-dialog makes use of to edit job (stop/resume and purge) fails. Its job status routine always ask as root for the job-originating-user-name attribute and fails with invalid a status. The cups-files.conf man page suggests default for SystemGroup to be: "admin", "lpadmin", "root", "sys", and/or "system". which would fix the issue. A local workaround is to add root to lpadmin group. Setting as important as it breaks unrelated packages. Changelog tell "root" group should be added back when: "As soon as bug #50620 gets fixed, I'll set up to add root to the group," ... well this bug is nowadays fixed or at least closed.
