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

/usr/share/kde4/services/system-config-printer-kde.desktop

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:
