What specific part of printer configuration should a user be able to do without authentication?
Network printers
Network printers???
What about http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell "Intrinsic design of CUPS for printing in the network"
What is the original end-user requirement behind?
The original requirement is two fold
1) Ease of use for end users
It works perfectly fine on Windows XP and OS X to browse network
printers and print to one without requiring admin privileges.
2) Restricting root access for admins
Admins want to allow straightforward operations like changing the
wireless network or adding a printer without giving out the full root
password (which allows things like installing new packages)
Item 1) is primary here, its just easier.
