Printers/Users Unlock button in settings disabled

Solution 1:

Does not exactly cover the problem of this question (disabled unlock button with no obvious way to enable) but for the purposes of adding/deleting/renaming a printer, you could do

me$ sudo su
root$ system-config-printer

(I believe you can straight-up sudo system-config-printer but something in my machine made that not work.)

From the dialog that opens you can right click on existing printers to delete or rename them.
