Package: cups-daemon
Version: 2.2.4-7
Severity: important
File: /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
Dear Maintainer,
Since cups 1.5 job-originating-user-name is a JobPrivateValues.
JobPrivateAccess gives access to @OWNER and @SYSTEM by default.
Since Debian cups /etc/cups/cups-files.conf set @SYSTEM to lpadmin only
root is not allowed.
And cups-pk-helper which gnome-control-center printers panel jobs-dialog
makes use of to edit job (stop/resume and purge) fails. Its job status
routine always ask as root for the job-originating-user-name attribute
and fails with invalid a status.
The cups-files.conf man page suggests default for SystemGroup to be:
"admin", "lpadmin", "root", "sys", and/or "system".
which would fix the issue.
A local workaround is to add root to lpadmin group.
Setting as important as it breaks unrelated packages.
Changelog tell "root" group should be added back when:
"As soon as bug #50620 gets fixed, I'll set up to add root to the
group," ... well this bug is nowadays fixed or at least closed.
Best regards
Alban
