Nice applet for system settings/printer configuration. But don't try to change any settings, because it doesn't ask for root permission. All it does is say:
"There was an error during CUPS operation: 'client-error-forbidden'
This is kdebase-4.6.0-0.1.fc14.x86_64

True.
kdesu kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde
It's *supposed* to ask for root privileges on access, but that's been failing to function properly for some time. I'm going to advocate that fixing that bug be a prerequisite for us continuing to ship system-config-printer-kde by default.

Yes, it could be handled better, but if you start systemsettings from a root konsole you avoid the problem (only for things like this that need root perms, of course).

Adding this to the services desktop file it now asks for a password and seems to work.

Still fails to ask for root p/w for me after today's upgrade to 4.6.2

contains these strings but still see error "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-forbidden'." when running KDE Printer Configuration and clicking on "New Network Printer". However, the lower lever app system-config-printer works fine (i.e., asks for root privilege when adding printer).
There seems to be an open bug report regarding this here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683589

how do you launch it?
it works for me via systemsettings->printer configuration

Ah, I can reproduce this.
invoke krunner, type 'printer' then choose 'Printer Configuration'. It will not ask for authentication.
Choosing 'Printing' instead asks for authentication.
Why do we ship two printing configuration widgets?
