It's fine to have root as member of the lpadmin group. BUT… it's not fine to have cups-pk-helper run as root and allow unauthorized users (in CUPS' eyes) cancel other user's jobs.
This should be fixed in cups-pk-helper through making it interact with CUPS using the requesting user's user. This would ensure that CUPS's authorizations are respected. I don't want to see a situation where "any GNOME user" accesses "cups- pk-helper which runs as root" and can then "manipulate CUPS as if it were a member of lpadmin". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934291 Title: Deleting or stopping print jobs does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/934291/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
