Every time I power up the printer or the computer, I'm prompted to enter my root password to configure the new printer - which is already configured and I do not want to modify.
Is this avoidable? Is this a bug?
I'm using opensuse 11.0 and gnome.
And there is nothing visible (e.g. a window title or something like this) which indicates which program it is what shows up this stuff?
Nope. None unless I type the password. I think it was something from gnome related to hal. I'll power up the printer now and check [...] It's gone! The problem has suddenly gone away, and I did nothing, I promise :-) Except the hplip update, you know,, but that is not related. Hold on... this is probably why it dissapeared: Sep 12 12:17:50 nimrodel kernel: usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=03f0, idProduct=4417 Sep 12 12:17:50 nimrodel kernel: usb 2-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Sep 12 12:17:50 nimrodel kernel: usb 2-4: Product: HP Color LaserJet CP1515n Sep 12 12:17:50 nimrodel kernel: usb 2-4: Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Sep 12 12:17:50 nimrodel kernel: usb 2-4: SerialNumber: 00..

But I guess you want to find out. The rpm version is "cups-autoconfig-0.1.0-113.1". I can open a bugzilla if you want.
And there are also no ckeck boxes like [ ] configure it now [ ] do not configure it now, but come up later again [ ] go away and do not come up again for this device [ ] get lost and never come up again for any device
ROTFL! Heh! I was going to suggest exactly that to the gnome guys ;-) No, nothing of the kind. Password first. I have forgotten the details of what came later. It did work, but the test print page had the margins off by 1 cm at least, so I deleted the config and tried the "normal" way, that you know it worked.
Strange software.
Indeed!
By the way: I neither use Gnome nor KDE. I use only a plain window manager. There are too many "friendly" and "helpful" automatisms in the desktop systems which annoy me - which does of course not mean that the desktop systems are not the right thing for usual users.
I feel the same. I use gnome mainly because it has less gadgetry; but sometimes I do use kde, and of course, many kde apps on their own. XFCE its very nice. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
