It's *supposed* to ask for root privileges on access, but that's been failing to function properly for some time. I'm going to advocate that fixing that bug be a prerequisite for us continuing to ship system-config-printer-kde by default.
Still fails to ask for root p/w for me after today's upgrade to 4.6.2
Adding this to the services desktop file it now asks for a password and seems to work.
X-KDE-ModuleType=Library X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-HasReadOnlyMode=true X-KDE-RootOnly=true
Where exactly is this file located ?
/usr/share/kde4/services/system-config-printer-kde.desktop
contains these strings but still see error "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-forbidden'." when running KDE Printer Configuration and clicking on "New Network Printer". However, the lower lever app system-config-printer works fine (i.e., asks for root privilege when adding printer).
There seems to be an open bug report regarding this here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683589
