Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
Using Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic, smbclient Version 3.3.2,
and system-config-printer 1.1.3, the smb.conf WORKGROUP is not overruled
by the specifications you give in the system-config-printer.
If you install a printer "COLOR" in Workgroup "WORK" on server "scp012",
like /WORK/scp012/COLOR, then use authorizations, you will not be able
to use your network printer using the gnome print options, as long as
you do not manually change the WORKGROUP settings in the smb.conf file.
You get messages like "Cannot prompt for authorization", or "To many
failed attempts"... It took me a while to discover that, and it would be
better if system-config-printer is able to overrule the global samba
settings, or at least warn people that they have to make the manual
changes.
** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu)
