Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
We have a cups-setup that allows remote printing when authenticated, and
accepts local printing from a "trusted" network without authentication.
The Location bock looks like this:
<Location />
# allow either authorized of remote users
Satisfy any
Order deny,allow
# remote access needs to be authed.
AuthType Default
Require valid-user
# local access is always allowed.
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from a.b.c.d/255.255.255.0
Deny from all
</Location>
When using cmd-line utils, like lpr, lpq, lprm and so on, it doesn't ask
for a password, but when using GUI-programs that uses libcups they see
the CUPS_PRINTER_AUTHENTICATED-flag on the printer and asks for
username/password without needing to.
