Call for action: Review and discuss
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Security_use_cases using the following
questions:
* Are there any use cases missing?
Canceling print jobs.

For my experience from the last years, If a normal users tries that, he will
be asked for an administrative account plus password.
The fix is easy but not obvious (not feasible for average user): one has to add
something like 'cups' or 'printer' to each users groups settings.

Since printing in general tends to show unexpected results for different
reasons (e.g printer options learning curve, driver prefers to use color
cartridges for b/w text documents, printer prints only garbage after 1st page
because of broken cups backend chain), it would be very helpful if killing
print jobs would work out of the box for every user.
