For printers, currently installing printers does not require superuser

Is it possible to make it so that printers installed by that user can
be managed by the user without superuser authentication?
Yes, it's a policy.

Also see this bug which I filed nearly two years ago on just this

They closed it as an upstream bug.  Then upstream, there doesn't seem to have been an investigation of the bug(?), and it was resolved.

Here is a new bug I filed at freedesktop.org:

   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46943

And Tim:  I personally feel the handling of your bug was a process that could use improvement upstream.
