I can confirm this behavior in Hardy 8.04.1, on 9 different servers that
I administrate.
I can confirm the workaround of adding the user to the "lpadmin" group
to bypass the prompt for a password and add a printer, whereas before it
would continually ask for a password, even when entering it corre
Jonathan Musther,
Did you still have this problem after adding your username to the lpadmin group?
If yes please provide the output of the following command:
$ id
Are you the primary (first) user on your system or did you create an extra

Noting the above comment by Zach, this should be told to the user
instead of continually asking for their password.

I have been having this problem as well. I just checked my groups and for some
reason I was not part of the lpadmin group. Once I added myself to that group
I can add printers with no problem (and no password required either).

I have recently upgraded to hardy, using system-config-printer
0.7.81+svn1976 and I can confirm, when I get asked for a password it
does not get accepted. Using gksudo works.

For referencing, this password dialog appeared at the end of the 'adding

I'm away from home for about a month now, the laptop doesn't have any
printers set up on it so I can't test anything. If I can get hold of a

When and why do you get asked for a password?
Did you use the "Goto Server" which opens a dialog asking for a remote
server and login? Then login and password (will be asked for in a later
step) must be either of "root" on the server or of a user who is in the
"lpadmin" group on the server.

Not just two people. I have just attempted to add a networked Brother

one described in the original post) and was repeatedly prompted for my

I can confirm that this problem happens whatever the password is. I
really can't believe we're the only two people having this problem, it
seems to happen on Gutsy on any machine.

I can confirm this bug on my machine.
However, my password (for that user) contains only lowercase letters, so
it must be caused by something else.
Thank you for the tip , gksudo /usr/bin/system-config-printer really
works.
