I believe I have encountered this issue in a fresh install of Trusty. I was able to add a network printer only with gksudo system-config- printer. Otherwise, my credentials were refused and I could get part way through printer installation, but could never complete it.

[Bug 653132] Re: Add Printer dialog requests root password if user is not in Configure Printers group
The fix in python-cups only prevents an infinite loop of the login/password pop-up, so that it does not appear again when clicking Cancel. So you are at least able to close the add-printer wizard. But note that you are still not able to actually log in using user name and password of an authorized user (user in lpadmin group, first user set up). This requires also the update of system-config-printer. With both updates all works correctly: - No prompt 'Password for root at localhost', No pre-filled root in user name field - Canceling the login/password dialog closes it without it popping up again. - Entering nothing, invalid credentials, wrong password, or unauthorized user and then clicking OK, gives Not authorized error pop-up and afterwards the login/password dialog appears again. - Entering correct credentials allows the current administrative operation and all further administrative operations until closing system-config-printer, without any further login/password dialog. Please test also this as soon as the update for system-config-printer gets approved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653132 Title: Add Printer dialog requests root password if user is not in Configure Printers group To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-cups/+bug/653132/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Tim, thank you very much. It is an important step forward as now one can at least create the queue. Problem is that there are two login/password prompts now, one to authorize for polling the list of available printers and a second to authorize the creation of the queue. Could you make it keeping the credentials for the whole system-config-printer session? Or at least for the live of the add-printer wizard? Could you also remove the pre-filled root user name?

[Bug 653132] Re: Add Printer dialog requests root password if user is not in Configure Printers group
Tim, one additional remark to above-mentioned problem: There seems to be a CUPS connection with credentials for the main process of the s-c-p session and separate CUPS connections with their own credentials for asynchronous background processes like polling the list of detected printers. If one logs in on the main CUPS connection first, for example by the first action being option default settings of an existing print queue, one can afterwards create a queue without getting asked for login/password again, but if the first action in the session is creating a queue, one gets asked at first before the list of detected devices gets shown and a second time at the end of the add-printer wizard when the queue gets created. But after that one can set option defaults of all existing printers without getting asked again. In addition, when I have already created a printer or changed option settings of an existing printer and after that I try to remove a printer I get asked again, but starting the session with removing a printer allows changing option settings of another still existing printer without entering the credentials again. The login for deleting a printer also stays valid for the whole process of creating a new queue afterwards. So prinmter deletion seems to have the most powerful authentication which stays valid for all the other actions, after that comes changing printer option settings which at least allows creating queues afterwards. The weakest seems to be listing detected printers as a new authentication for creating a queue is required. Can you make this consistent, so that when the user logs in once so that he can do everything during the rest of the s-c-p session, independent of which he did first?

[Bug 653132] Re: Add Printer dialog requests root password if user is not in Configure Printers group
Tim, I have tried pycups 1.9.59 now. It brings me significantly further but still does not completely fix this issue. The infinite loop when entering no password or clicking Cancel is gone. So one can at least get out of s-c-p again if one has no valid credentials to manipulate print queues. I have also tried, being on the desktop of the user test (see comment #6) running system-config-printer, clicking Add and then enter the user name till and the appropriate password. In this case the device list gets loaded (printer auto-detection, this did not work before) and I can continue setting up the print queue, but now the problem is at the end of the wizard. When I click on Apply I get an error message: CUPS server error: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'cups- authorization-canceled'. I can close the wizard only by clicking Cancel and the queue does not get created. What I expect is that the authentication in the beginning gets used for the rest of this system- config-printer session. This behaves the same independent whether cups-pk-helper is installed or not. I tried also another operation: Still on tests desktop I closed system-config-printer and started it again. This time I tried to remove a queue by right-clicking its icon and choosing Delete in the menu.

Yes, CUPS 1.5. And the command line tests above, too.

[Bug 653132] Re: Add Printer dialog requests root password if user is not in Configure Printers group
s-c-p falls into an unbreakable infinite loop of the credentials dialog and the dialog telling that the credentials are not correct. This seems to be a change in behaviour for CUPS. It used to be that providing an empty string for the password from the auth callback would cancel the operation, but this no longer seems to be the case.

[Bug 653132] Re: Add Printer dialog requests root password if user is not in Configure Printers group
Tim, I tried the following: -- till@till:~$ sudo su - test [sudo] password for till: test@till:~$ /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p testqueue -E -v /dev/null lpadmin: Forbidden test@till:~$ /usr/sbin/lpadmin -U till -p testqueue -E -v /dev/null Password for till on localhost? lpadmin: Unauthorized test@till:~$ /usr/sbin/lpadmin -U till -p testqueue -E -v /dev/null Password for till on localhost? test@till:~$ lpstat -v testqueue device for testqueue: /dev/null test@till:~$ exit logout till@till:~$ lpadmin -x testqueue till@till:~$ -- till is in the lpadmingroup, test not. On the first /usr/sbin/lpadmin -U till ... command I simply pressed Enter on the password prompt and the command exited immidiately, on the second command I entered the correct password and the queue got created. Entering a wrong, non-empty password leads to a new password prompt, also entering nothing on the new prompt closes lpadmin. So CUPS seems to behave correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653132 Title: Add Printer dialog requests root password if user is not in Configure Printers group To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/653132/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As a workaround for the time being, please add all user accounts from where you want to do printer administration to the lpadmin group.

[Bug 653132] Re: Add Printer dialog requests root password if user is not in Configure Printers group
What one is supposed to do is to enter user name and password of a user who is in the lpadmin group. I have tried that running system-config- printer on the desktop of a test user (not in lpadmin) and entering the credentials of the first user installed (is in lpadmin). Unfortunately, and this is a real bug, either in system-config-printer or in some authentication infrastructure in Ubuntu, the credentials do not get accepted and s-c-p falls into an unbreakable infinite loop of the credentials dialog and the dialog telling that the credentials are not correct.
