Her account does not have permissions to cancel a cups print job..I can't find how to let it let me log in as a privileged user. It will always try to do all tasks as her user account and fails without asking me for a privileged user account.
Try to change the username in the CUPS section of "kaddprinterwizard --kdeconfig". Or you can try to concel the job from the web interface http://localhost:631 Michael.
I don't know if it's a bug the fact that the interface that is intended to end-users doesn't ask for priviledged rights. Did you try what comment #1 suggests?
It was just the fact that it would ask for a username, fail because the given username was not root. Then there was no way to change which username to use, it would only fail if the password was wrong. It would check that the user exsisted and password matched, it did not check to see if it had proper permissions with cups.

Now this is clearer. For a start, I believe that the problem comes more from the configuration of your printing server than from kdeprint system. I will keep this report open until I get a chance to look more closely.
Just a few words about how it works. Kdeprint registers an authentication callback to CUPS, such that when CUPS needs an authentication, a nice KDE dialog is shown. This means that it is CUPS that determines if it requires authentication or not, not kdeprint. Michael.
So maybe we need to send a bug upstream so that CUPS auth mechanism can tell what permissions the specific user. It is a pain in the but to be able to print, but not be able to delete, pause, etc print jobs. I had to do everything with the web interface as root, but that is not acceptable for a user to have to do that (grandmothers machine).

In this case, it would be interesting to have a look at the CUPS configuration for the various resources involved ("/", "/printers", "/jobs")
Timeout for this bug...
