Title:
  cups asks for root password if user is not member of lpadmin group

Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: system-config-printer-gnome

  
  When I add a printer using "system-config-printer.py" (system - administration - printing - new), it asks me for a root password instead of a sudo password.

  Work-around: in a shell window, set a root password using "sudo passwd
  root".
