[Closed] Annoying confirmation window in CUPS

Good day!
My system information is here: https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.ph … 004#p25004
When I launch Control Panel ---> Peripherals ---> Printers, in CUPS Configuration page I constantly have very annoying confirmation window, which appears every time I click on something in that page.
Please watch video in 720p quality setting:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1txKHEp … drive_link

I do not have this annoying window if I launch Firefox, then type localhost:631 in address bar, and after that enter username and password in fields.

Workaround: Open your browser, type in the address bar localhost:631, then type your account username and root (sudo) password.

Or as I suggested https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4420 dump the web localhost browser interface and use system-config-printer instead - almost every other linux distro does.

... dump the web localhost browser interface and use system-config-printer instead ...

Q4OS detects and uses system-config-printer automatically, if installed. So you only need to install it:
$ sudo apt install system-config-printer

The above is also a temporary workaround for this issue.
