This is indeed a bit unfortunate. By default, admin users have printing administration capabilities by way of being in the lpadmin group. This is how system-config-printer can configure printers without extra privilege helpers.
Do we actually plan to use g-c-c's printing admin? I thought we were keeping system-config-printer, as it is much more complete? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805489 Title: printer capplet requires cups-pk-helper To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/805489/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
