Do you still have system-config-printer-udev installed?  Take a look
in /var/log/messages -- if necessary, edit /etc/rsyslog.conf and get it
to log "debug" messages by changing '*.info' to '*.debug' in
the /var/log/messages line and restarting it; then plug in a printer and
see what messages you get.

PackageKit bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585601

But "it quits" -- the "install packages" dialog, run by
gnome-packagekit, quits, yes.  But system-config-printer should still be
there and ready for you to carry on creating the queue.  Are you finding
that system-config-printer itself has quit?  Would love to see if there
is a message about that in your ~/.xsession-errors file.

This shouldn't be any different at all to running it from the menu as a
non-root user, aside from some PolicyKit dialogs.  All the privileged
stuff is running by cupsd.
