Why is Administrator type account being asked for root pasword when
accessing printer settings?

Is there some user group I need to be part of? Do I need to edit some
system files? Are there some PolicyKit options that need to be edited?
How?

Here are screenshots for printer dialog and user account:

If you know how please share how you managed to do it, because it is
driving me nuts, if I'm not mistaken this is the same issue that Linus
Torvalds vented regarding same issue on OpenSuse -

Thanks in advance,

Quite simply. if more than one user is using the said computer then determining who has access
to what resources may be important, and printers are considered a resource. I can understand your
frustration, but if other people with access to your computer with another account use your printer
resources without permission I suspect you'd eventually get annoyed. It amounts to be careful what
you wish for.
