Bug#1031152: system-config-printer: unlock button in system-config-printer provides no elevated permissions dialog

[Alban Browaeys]

This unlikely to be a bug in system-config-printer as its delegate
authentication to polkit and cups-pk-helper.
Could you tell if you have cups-pk-helper installed and if running
"pkexec ls" from a graphical terminal works?

Cheers,
Alban
