Re: CUPS: Add root to system-groups to make GNOME's print functionality work correctly?

To continue this train of thought and hopefully add something of
substance

I added root to SystemGroup in cups-files and restarted cups. A queue
was paused with cupsdisable. From g-c-c it was possible to cancel the
job without unlocking the printing dialog. After unlocking I was able
add/delete printers, start/stop a printer set a default printer and
apparently change queue options.

Sabotage of fine-grained privileges by cups might not go down well. :)


Then I would suggest to actually add root to SystemGroup.

Or are there any ojections?
