Description of problem:
Trying to execute system-config-printer either from mcc or from commandline resulting with the following error and can not be launched:

GLib.Error: polkit-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit is not registered (0)

I don't really know if this is about system-config-printer, cups or polkit.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-printer-1.4.5-1.mga5

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type system-config-printer from commandline
2.See the mentioned error.

I have precisely the same problem with fully-updated KDE 64-bit Mageia-5-Alpha1.

Thanks. It works. Then i think we need to add cups-pk-helper as requires to system-config-printer ?

Now done, and now system-config-printer comes to life...

Just one oddity I noticed. After downloading and installing various printer packages (including HP utilities - so it knew the printer was HP), it left me only with 'Add Printer'. Wy - if it had indeed found the printer - did it do that?
  Also, Add Printer listed possibilities:

        - LPT #1 (for connections via Parellel Port)
        - URL
        - Network

i.e. no mention of USB.

Only when I selected Network did it show that it knew very well what (USB) printer was there!
