Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/32112
Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
I have a number of Windows machines with SMB services on my segment here
at work.
When selecting the "Windows Printer (SMB)" Network Printer type in the
"Add a printer" dialog I am immediately prompted for a login and
password for a random machine on this segment. After clicking cancel,
another prompt pops up for another random machine. I get about 5 to 10
of these before it stops pestering me.
I guess it detects some of the servers on my segment with a broadcast
and attempts to enumerate their printer services. Most of these servers
do not allow anonymous connections at all, so I get prompted for a
login.
