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. Tim, can you look into that? -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
