this bug is biting me as well! My system is 8.10 Intrepid, cups version: 1.3.9-2ubuntu3 The printer is on a ubuntu server on the same private network. If I comment out "AuthInfoRequired username,password" from printers.conf I can print, however, something is just adding it back in to the file later.
The WORST part is that the windows machines have no trouble printing to this machine, just my 8.10 install! This is not really good as I am trying to convince the family of the advantage of Ubuntu and they can't even print without me going to down into the command line! Would love to see this fixed or at least a workaround to make my change to the printers.conf not get reverted. Thanks! -- cups says "can't promp for authorization" when printing to my samba printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
