This bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer - 1.3.6+20110831-0ubuntu9.1
--------------- system-config-printer (1.3.6+20110831-0ubuntu9.1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low * debian/control: Depend on python-cups 1.5.59 (LP: #653132). * debian/patches/67_no-misleading-prompt-and-root-default-in-auth-dialogs.patch: Do not show the misleading prompt 'Password for "root" on localhost', as under Ubuntu you do not log in as root. Also do not pre-fill "root" as default user name (LP: #653132). * debian/patches/65_do-not-connect-to-cups-with-empty-username.patch: Do not connect to CUPS with an empty user name (LP: #653132). * debian/patches/63_repeat-authorization-when-try-as-root-fails-asyncipp.patch: On asynchronous IPP connections make sure that the password dialog is repeated if a wrong password is entered (LP: #653132). * debian/patches/60_fix-password-cache.patch: Fixes in caching the entered password, to assure that only one password prompt happens during the whole system-config-printer session (LP: #653132). * debian/patches/57_fix-broken-setting-of-ipp-auth-canceled-constant.patch: Upstream uses a constant of python-cups 1.5.60 and has a fallback to an explicit definition when an older python-cups is used. This fallback mechanism is broken and this patch works around it. * debian/patches/55_handle-new-cups-1.5-ipp-error-response-ipp-authentication-canceled-asyncipp.patch: Fix to distinguish canceling of authentication from entering an empty password (asynchronous IPP connections, #653132). * debian/patches/53_handle-new-cups-1.5-ipp-error-response-ipp-authentication-canceled-authconn.patch: Fix from upstream to distinguish canceling of authentication from entering an empty password (synchronous IPP connections, #653132). -- Till Kamppeter <till.kamppe...@gmail.com> Sun, 9 Oct 2011 01:32:24 +0200 ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- 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
