You shouldn't have to use su for system-config-printer, PolicyKit
authorization should just work there, so you should be able to just use it
as a regular user. If it's also broken there, then it's a system-config-
printer bug and will need to be fixed there (and that'd also explain why it
doesn't work in KDE as KDE's printer settings are also based on system-
config-printer).
It's also broken there, at least in my machine. It would ask for
authentication, then "stuck" for a very long time, then ask authentication
again with a slightly different dialog box and has "username" &
"password" field
with username populated with "root", then stuck again. I lost patient and just
canceled it, and run it as root.
So yes, it's probably related...
