Hi,
there is a long-standing bug report in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/934291
It is about that one cannot stop or delete print jobs from the
"Printers" section of GNOME Control Center.
The trivial-looking fix is to add root to the system groups (see comment
#17), via a ./configure option (from patch of comment #24):

Is there any reason not having root in system-groups? Does Debian solve
this problem another way?
