User is allowed to configure printers. The error message that appears is: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-bad-request'. Expected: Would be to prompt for administration (sudo) password to manage a printer unmanageable for the user, see below. Solution: When doing 'sudo system-config-printer' the same printer adds without problem with the same steps taken as for user.
