Bug Description
I have two printers configured and working, with dapper. Then:
1. I launch gnome-cups-manager as an ordinary user (a member of the lpadmin group).
2. Right-click on the icon for one printer and select "Make default".
Actual results: nothing appears to happen.
Expected results: a "check" emblem appears, and the selected printer becomes the default.
Additional information: If I call gnome-cups-manager as root, using sudo, then I can change the default printer as expected, no problem.
The permissions on the file /etc/cups/
-rw------- owner=cupsys, group=lp
My version of cupsys is cupsys_
