Since openSUSE 10.3 we have the new RPM "cups-autoconfig"
which contains a utility for auto-configuring USB printers
which is triggered by udev/HAL device events.

Note that this tool neither comes from the CUPS authors
nor is the RPM a sub-package of the cups RPM.

...

If you don't like what cups-autoconfig does (i.e. if you prefer
that you control the print queues and not whatever automatism),
uninstall the cups-autoconfig package and reboot (or restart HAL)
to make HAL aware of its changed config files, see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218393#c28

I have removed this tool, and restarted hal, but I'm still prompted for my password when I plug in my printer :-(

What I get is a prompt for my root password coming from command "gnome-cups-add". I think I'll open a bugzilla for this.

It is also a usability issue, it is not correct to be prompted for the root password whiteout option to say never again, and for an already configured printer.
