[Bug 52017] Re: changing settings (like paper size) have no effect in CUPS

[Björn Schließmann]

I know have enabled cups administration via web interface (used root
account to authenticate), and now *it works*. I suppose it is a real
gnome-cups-manager problem. The changes, however, show up in gnome-cups-
manager now. It seems the gnome tool only can't write settings, but can
read them.

Strangely though, with every change in the printer config CUPS shows

E [08/Jul/2006:13:29:36 +0200] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized

in /var/log/cups/error_log. But the changes do take effect, and the test
pages (the cups and gnome-cups-manager ones) now print right.

Printing from applications also works, and processing jobs show up in
gnome-cups-manager.

If you need any information for tracking down that bug let me know.
However, I'm happy I can print now. :)
