Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Oneiric
Trying to add a printer from the 'Printers' menu, the system asksr a
password for the user 'root' for localhost. No answer is accepted (also
by changing 'root' in an actual administrator). Then a window 'Not
authorized -the password might be wrong' appears. By closing this window
I obtain the former one, in an infinite loop.
Trying localhost:631 I obtain 'Unable to add printer: forbidden'.
Note that at an earlier alpha stage of Oneiric it was possible to add
printers.
