What we have to do at Ubuntu is to assure that a privileged user is not
only in the "admin" group (to perform commands as root using sudo) but
also in the "lpadmin" group (to send administrative requests to the CUPS
daemon) and perhaps also in other groups to get admin privileges on
other daemons/services.
This must be assured on updates from any Ubuntu distro to Gutsy and also
on fresh Gutsy installations. I have seen complaints elsewhere that the
"lpadmin" membership got lost on updates to Gutsy.
