When I run Evolution from a CLI, I get the following message when I try
to select one of the printers in the printing dialog:

** (evolution:18664): WARNING **: NOT IMPLEMENTED: We need to prompt for authorization in a non blocking manner

I have exactly the same version of Evolution (2.22.3.1) running on my
laptop (running Ubuntu) and it has no problem with printing.

I'm not sure if I should file a bug on this or not, since there seems to
be some (misguided!) intention behind it.
