By removing the user from lpadmin it prompts for authentication on some programs only. For example in Adobe reader it prompts but on Gnome's programs like Gedit it does not. It's on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/283811 For adding or removing printers it works only with "gksudo system-config-printer", else it'll ask for root's password.
>From the other bug: Since Intrepid, cups or (something else) keep adding : AuthInfoRequired username,password In my /etc/cups/printers.conf I tried every method I found for not changing the file, but even if the file doesn't change there is the error message. The only solution is to restart the cups service after any printing. Is there any way to tell cups to restart after completing each job? Or even something with cron to check if the specific line changed in the file? I need some working solution because I have to prepare some PCs for students. I haven't tried it with active directory if it works. The only ways I can think is to give specific root permissions on restarting the cups service from students. -- Jobs requiring authentication never display authentication prompt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301705 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
