Hi Jeffrey,

this is a bug in cups-pk-helper. Specifically, it is this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56032.
I will file a bug for gnome-control-center which will change the error message so it is clear from which component the problem comes.

I'm closing this with resolution notgnome.

Regards

Marek
