I can confirm the issue: when configuring a printer in cups with the "AuthInfoRequired username,password" option, the application should prompt the user for their credentials. Gnome applications and Firefox do this correctly, LO doesn't. I've tracked an upstream bug about it, and added it to this bug.

I'm on Precise using LibreOffice 3.5.0. Situation: Windows 7 PC with a printer shared on it (Password protected). Ubuntu Precise system that uses this printer in cups, and set to 'ask password when needed'. Now I can print perfectly from gedit for example. After sending the print job, I get a popup to enter the login & pass for the printer. But with LibreOffice it never asks the credentials, so the printing fails (ACCESS DENIED in cups). Think this should be fixed asap :) Cause not being able to print in an Office application ... :) --- ApportVersion: 1.93-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Alpha amd64 (20110705.1) Package: libreoffice-core 1:3.5.0-1ubuntu4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=nl:en_AU:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-17.27-generic 3.2.6 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-17-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-02-19 (11 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout libvirtd lpadmin plugdev sambashare --- ApportVersion: 1.93-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Alpha amd64 (20110705.1) Package: libreoffice-writer 1:3.5.0-1ubuntu4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=nl:en_AU:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-17.27-generic 3.2.6 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-17-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-02-19 (11 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout libvirtd lpadmin plugdev sambashare To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/943881/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
