[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#680195: base: Root user not added to lpadmin, cannot add printer

[R33D3M33R]

Package: base
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

1. Leave root password blank at install (first user is "ruser" and has administration privileges)
2. Login as "ruser" and try to add printer through web interface or system-config-printer-kde (nothing works)
3. In webinterface the buttons Find and Add don't work at all, the system-config-printer-kde hangs 
4. Error log entries appear in /var/log/cups/error_log: "cupsdAuthorize: Empty Basic password!"
5. Add rootuser to lpadmin (I used KUser) and restart
6. Adding printer works

I'm not sure if this is intentional or it's a bug, but it could be a major showstopper for new users.

Best Regards,
Andrej
