Printers Dialog not working and crashing #147

What Happened

After Install Elementary OS 6 Beta 2 (I think this was present in previous daily builds as well) My networked printers are automatically installed. These are set as disabled by default. When I try and delete them (One printer is on the network by does not belong to me) The whole setting panel freezes and I have to force quite to end the process. I can only successfully install network printers via the localhost:631 page.

I am all good with the system detecting the printers, but why are they loaded as disabled? and the moment I delete the one network printer, it always comes back as disabled again.

So Off I head to localhost:631 to delete the printers and I get access forbidden when trying to delete, So this means I am not part of a specific usergroup as what I should be (I think).

Adding a local USB printer via Printer Settings does not work either. Here I also have to resort to localhost:631 and understandably getting the Forbidden error as well

Expected Behavior

Full controll of printers, networked or local, no panel freeze and not have disabled printers attached to my printer list. Once removed they should remain removed. and adding of printers should happen using teh GUI interface

Steps to Reproduce

Install Beta 2 or Daily Snapshot, head over to printer settings and try add/remove printer

Logs

Please advise how best to supply these and where to get them and Ill happily provide

Platform Information
