This sounds pretty straightforwardly like a bug probably in
PolicyKit, to me. It's obviously more correct to use the current

first user in the admin group in all cases... So, file a bug against
PolicyKit.
(Ugh, no, please don't tell people to file bugs against polkit
unless you are actually sure it's a polkit problem. In this case
it's not.)
David, please look at my comments on the ticket you closed.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46943
I've re-opened the ticket with it set to "cups-pk-helper". I suggest
freedesktop.org stop this maddening policy of "close ticket quick", and
actually try to route it to the group that can help.
So when you wrote:
==| Sure, that's bad and agree I with Torvalds it's inappropriate to
require administrator authentication etc... but it's not a polkit
problem since polkit is only a toolkit (and a toolkit can be used
correctly or incorrectly etc). You should file a bug against the
mechanism in question - looks like it's this project |==
I'm having a hard time reconciling your words that you agree this is a
problem, with your actions of shutting the door in my face.
Pax.
