Bug#698504: system-config-printer: permission problem
Dear Maintainer, Recently, I spent hours to understand why other users can't access to system-config-printer. So, I will be very greatful if you could use Ubuntu solution (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pk-helper/+bug/934291 ), which may not be perfect but it fix a problem open in 2013 that has not found an upstream solution since. Thanks, Best regards.
Bug#698504: system-config-printer: permission problem
Dear Maintainer, While the wish for an upstream solution is understandable, we do not live in an ideal world and it would be desireable to take action now. Could you please carry the ubuntu patch as outlined in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pk-helper/+bug/934291 This package does not require much maintenance work anyway so imho it can't be justified to not carry a patch that fixes broken functionality. Thanks very much!

Since this was merged my bug report here again for all subscribers the link to the Ubuntu solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pk-helper/+bug/934291 @Guido I can understand you would like to see an upstream solution, but could you meanwhile please carry the patch in Debian? I consider this broken functionality and users been bothered by this issue for years already, always having to opt for the cups web interface as a workaround.

Any chance that somebody forwards a fix upstream? It'd be great if not all downstreams would carry a patch. Cheers, -- Guido

I can confirm this bug in debian wheezy 32 bit too (with mate 1.6.0 desktop, kernel 3.11 i386). system-config-printer version 1.4.3-1 cups 1.7.1-2 user is member of group lpadmin (tried also with lp, anyway) To manually add a printer, user has to give su credentials. system-config-printer-udev doesn't add automatically a new usb printer until user goes into system-config-printer and gives su credentials.
