Hi all.

I'm hoping that I have missed something somewhere.

F-11

setting up a printer.

I "su -"

I run system-config-printer

I select:

	Network Printer
	Select WIndows/Samba printer
	browse the printer share
	put in my authentication
	verify the authentication (Print share is accessible)

	Select manufacturer (not sure why my ancient HP Deskject 960C
	is not auto detected, but that's ok).
	Select driver

	Click on Apply.

	I get the attached popup:

		Unauthorized request (addPrinter)
		You are not authorized to carry out the requested action

I am root.

It's not firewall: I have reproduced this with firewall dropped.

It's not seLinux: I have reproduced this with selinux disabled.

Any thoughts ?
