Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer-gnome
When I add a printer using "system-config-printer.py" (system - administration
- printing - new), it asks me for a root password instead of a sudo password.
Work-around: in a shell window, set a root password using "sudo passwd
root".
