I am affected by this as well. I want my LDAP users to be able to manage printers. I've tried removing authentication in cupsd.conf, this works for the CUPS interface. But not from 'Printers' in system settings. So instead I've added them to the lpadmin group with the pam mount module, but it is still not possible.
As noted in another comment, id shows the user being a member of lpadmin, but id username doesn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281700 Title: policykit-1 is not aware of groups assigned by pam_group To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1281700/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
