Public bug reported: Hi,
I have issues after upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04. I can run system-config-printer as root but not as a normal user. I get the error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'Bad Request'. If I run system-config-printer --debug I get the following output: OpenPrinting: Init ('en_US', 'UTF-8') 1 0 +<NewPrinterGUI object at 0x7ff964028460 (newprinter+NewPrinterGUI at 0xea5ba0)> Connected as user roberto +<PrinterPropertiesDialog object at 0x7ff964041dc0 (printerproperties+PrinterPropertiesDialog at 0xf0b3a0)> <authconn.Connection instance at 0x7ff964033830>: Operation += obtaining queue details Authentication pass: 1 Authentication: password callback set 1024: u'Bad Request' If I instead run the command with sudo I can access the dialog and set the printers, but then the applications that do not run as root cannot see the printers set by root. The variable CUPS_SERVER is set and exported both by the .profile in my home directory and in /etc/profile. I would also exclude a rights problem as (i) the command was workin gbefore the upgrade, and (ii) my user's groups include sys adm lp dialout lpadmin admin ** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1366727 Title: Cannot run system-config-printer as notmal user after upgrading to 14.04 Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, I have issues after upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04.
