I go to Configure Desktop | Printers and a dialog appears immediately asking for the root password, which I supply. I then pick a printer I want to configure and click the Configure button. The Configure dialog comes up and I choose Printer Options. I change the option for the Duplex Unit from “Not Installed” to “Installed”, since the printer does have an installed duplex unit and I cannot print on both sides if OS 13.1 thinks there is none.
I then press the OK button ( or the Apply button ) and the application now proceeds to open again a dialog asking for the root password but this time it hides it beneath the Configure dialog. I can move the Configure dialog out of the way but when I click on the Password Configure Printer dialog the focus is still on the Configure dialog and there is no way I can enter the root password. At the same time the Configure dialog is waiting for the Password Configure Printer dialog to end, which of course it cannot do.
This is completely broken, so much so that there appears no way for me to setup my printer with its duplex unit properly or to change any options for my printer.
Is there a fix for this anywhere ? Is OS aware that this is broken in OS 13.1 ?
