Configuring printer in kde 4.2

Hello, i upgraded to kde 4.2 yesterday but i am having problems configuring my printer.I followed the instructions from the arch cups wiki(#5.1 Alternative CUPS Interfaces) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP … uring_Cups and set up a "normal" user to administer cups in order for system-config-printer to work as it should.The program works fine and lets me choose and configure the printer.But when it's time to save the printer configuration i get this: The password may be incorrect. When i run the system-config-printer from the konsole as a user i get this output:
No ID match for device usb://Lexmark/E120:
  <manufacturer>Lexmark International</manufacturer>
  <model>Lexmark E120</model>
  <description>Lexmark E120</description>
  <commandset>NPAP, PJL</commandset>
Using Lexmark-E120-pxlmono.ppd
Password for geo on localhost?

Thanks for the help.

Re: Configuring printer in kde 4.2

Problem was solved.I did "kdesu system-config-printer-kde" in the konsole and configured the printer as root.
