Configure printer on ubuntu

I’ve got to configure my printer on the new UBUNTU release 8.04; everything was fine, printer on USB detected and so on but, when I’ve got to do the last magic click, the GUI asked me for a localhost password…
Obviously no password was right and I could not finish my setup.
Reading around I’ve found this little trick that might be usefull to someone else:

Alt-F2 to open application launcher and type

gksudo  system-config-printer

Ubuntu will ask your system password and then you’ll be able to configure, delete and modify your printers.
