Description

Connects printer administration tools with PolicyKit so privileged CUPS actions can be requested through normal desktop authorization prompts. It helps users manage printers without running the whole configuration program as root.

This package works in the background for printer setup workflows. Because it grants controlled administrative access, it matters most on shared systems where printer changes should require proper permission.
