Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.2.3-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

I would like that my users can use the brillant system-config-printer
into their x11.

I thus added them to lp group
adduser username lp

So, they should be capable to add their own printer from the network,
eg. 192.168.1.8

but it keeps asking them the root password.

Please a fix.

Thanks
best regards
