Public bug reported:
Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Confirmed
Description:
I have two printers configured and working, with dapper. Then:
1. I launch gnome-cups-manager as an ordinary user (a member of the
lpadmin group).
2. Right-click on the icon for one printer and select "Make default".
Actual results: nothing appears to happen.
Expected results: a "check" emblem appears, and the selected printer
becomes the default.
Additional information: If I call gnome-cups-manager as root, using
sudo, then I can change the default printer as expected, no problem.
The permissions on the file /etc/cups/printers.conf are
-rw------- owner=cupsys, group=lp
My version of cupsys is cupsys_1.1.99.rc2-0ubuntu2, but the problem did
not start with this version.
