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 "lpadmin"group, "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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
