Can you describe how you have printing setup on this box... you imply that
printing regularly requires some password too (or did I misinterpret
things)?
Printing regularly works fine and does not ask for a password, before or
after
printing. Only okular asks for a password, and then only after
submitting the print job.
This is on a f17 box, and only started happening a few weeks ago. I'm using
a remote cups server, which i think i set up using system-config-printer.
Interestingly, just now I selected the printers option from kde system
settings and got the same plasma desktop dialog demanding the root
password.
This made me wonder if this is a cups error.
Additionally, running okular as root from a konsole does not display a
password dialog. But if i create a new account, login to a kde desktop as
this new user and use okular, the password dialog is displayed.
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,
Chris
