This has nothing to do with Gnome od KDE or whatever
desktop environment or whatever application program.
Since ever one needs admin privileges to set up a print queue.
Since ever the default is that only root has admin privileges.
The issue is never ever a "major" bug.
It is even not a bug at all.
It is just as it is since ever.
If you like to change the default which users should
have admin privileges, file a FATE request because this
causes major security issues which must be discussed in detail.
Regarding admin privileges to set up a print queue:
If root likes, he can change the so called "CUPS Operation Policy"
so that any user can do any kind of printer admin task, see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
Hint:
Regarding CUPS policies, have a look at the YaST printer module.
