Package: system-config-printer Version: 1.5.7-3 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
We have a setup where all printers are shared by a central CUPS server. Clients use cups-browsed and DNS-SD to auto-discover them. Until Debian 8, it was possible for users to use system-config-printer to select a personal default printer, by right-clicking it an selecting "Set as default". This worked without having to unlock settings or being member of the lpadmin group. This was essentially the same as running "lpoptions -d" on the command line. With Debian 9, this is not possible anymore. The relevant menu item is grayed out and only becomes available after unlock, which needs membership of the lpadmin group. "lpoptions -d" still works, and system-config-printer even reflects these changes with an emblem on the default printer. --- System information. --- Architecture: Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 Debian Release: 9.8 900 stable-updates deb.debian.org 900 stable deb.debian.org 500 stretch fai-project.org 500 icinga-stretch packages.icinga.com 100 stretch-backports deb.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==============================================-+-============== gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 | 2.36.5-2+deb9u2 gir1.2-glib-2.0 | 1.50.0-1+b1 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 | 3.22.11-1 gir1.2-notify-0.7 | 0.7.7-2 gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0 | 1.1.5-2+deb9u1 gir1.2-pango-1.0 | 1.40.5-1 python3-cups (>= 1.9.60) | 1.9.73-1 python3-cupshelpers (= 1.5.7-3) | 1.5.7-3 python3-dbus | 1.2.4-1+b1 python3-gi | 3.22.0-2 system-config-printer-common (= 1.5.7-3) | 1.5.7-3 python3:any (>= 3.3.2-2~) | Recommends (Version) | Installed =========================================-+-=========== cups-pk-helper | 0.2.6-1+b1 python3-smbc | 1.0.15.6-1 system-config-printer-udev | 1.5.7-3+b1 Suggests (Version) | Installed ================================-+-============== gnome-software (>= 3.16.5-2) | 3.22.5-1
