Thanks for your response.
I'm running standard Fedora-11 (up to date).
I notice much the same problem with system-config-printer.
I'm not asked for the root password,
and if I highlight the printer (HP_LaserJet_5L),
go to Printer>>Properties>>Printer Options
and try to change Media Size from Letter to A4,
I am told "You are not authorized to carry out the requested action".
I'm actually told the same if I carry out the same procedure as superuser.
Also, in this case I cannot leave the program.
When I click on Close I get the error message:
