+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #466768 +++ This package is currently missing a dependency on usermode-gtk. So on systems where this isn't installed (like the current KDE live images) this package isn't working properly as a non-root user from the menu.
This package does not use usermode. Please describe the way in which it fails to work when usermode is not available.
Sorry, I've just cloned the bug and not checked the behaviour of each s-c-tool before. Here it seems to work fine without usermode-gtk. But to be sure we should ask the original reporter.
OK. The original report was about the "traditional" system-config-* packages, which system-config-printer no longer is. Closing.
