The printer is attached to a windows box. At the time of running system-config-printer, the windows box is on. This used to work just fine on F-10 and earlier... I think s-c-p now uses PolicyKit. As such, run it as your normal user, you'll be prompted for the root password just when you need the authorization, removing the need to run a whole graphical application as root. I wouldn't have a clue about the windows end. Your best bet is probably the list url I gave. Where more users, In a similar situation. would be active. I also think this would be much better on the users list.
