Printer menu locked

[hvniekerk]

Hi,

Using F16 (fallback) for some reason I can't unlock the printer settings. When I click Unlock it says to click to unlock but nothing happens. I have full admin rights but get no dialog to enter any password. Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks.

pop up a terminal, type

sudo system-config-printer
<enter your password>

might work?
you could probably log in as root instead of using sudo too

and I think you can still use your web browser with https://localhost:631/
it might be only http but it worked when I tried it.
