[Bug 42423] Settings don't take unless sudo'd

[Jim Louvau]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
This quit working properly very recently. When i fire up gnome-cups-
manager, it doesn't prompt for a password. it lets me change printer
settings without erroring, but they don't stick (exit and come back in
and all changes are gone). If i run the app with sudo, everything works
like it's supposed to. I discovered this behavior building a laptop last
weekend from a daily build CD (30 April 2006 - i386). I then tested it
on a machine that's been up and running for 3-4 weeks (gets updates
daily) and noticed that it's behaving the same way. FYI, this is all
with a local user account that's a member of all of the "normal"
security groups (lpadmin, plugdev, cdrom, etc) as well as a member of
admin. Basically, i can install a printer but i can't configure it
without sudoing.
