Running system-config-printer in a regular user account on debian does raise an exception when I use the unlock button (it in order to modify/add printers):

(system-config-printer.py:10425): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
enter code here

(system-config-printer.py:10425): Gtk-WARNING **: Error acquiring permission: Failed to acquire permission for action-id org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit

My Login-Manager is lightdm.

In another FAQ FAQ question root policykit was mentioned.

Any help for further analysis or improvements appreciated.

Can you take a look at `system-config-printer.py`? The WARNING seems to be on line 10425. My file has only 2198 lines.
