As with other PolicyKit-enabled applications, you can configure the amount of password dialogs you need to see. You can reduce this to 'none at all' if you like. For an example configuration which removes the need to see any CUPS-related password dialogs when configuring the local machine, see this short description I wrote: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing/ConfigurationTool#PolicyKit_configuration That configuration file applies to actions matching "org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.*", i.e. everything that cups-pk-helper provides. You can also extend that to "org.fedoraproject.config.*" for the other configuration tools in Fedora, and "org.libvirt.unix.*" for everything to do with virtualization, etc. Yes, it is a bit mad that you get so many root passwords when adding a printer, but system-config-printer needs to use these actions: * org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.auth (to read the firewall configuration, to be able to offer the ability to actually find any network printers) * org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.devices-get (to be able to find any devices at all) * org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.printeraddremove (to be able to actually add a printer) The policy for these actions is shipped as part of the cups-pk-helper package. The over-arching Fedora policy that specifies what the package must ship is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Privilege_escalation_policy Tim. */
