Public bug reported:
LUbuntu 18.04.1 with all updates, 32-bit x86 PC, top-level package
'lubuntu-desktop' is installed,
smbclient/smbspool are installed but smbd/nmbd are not (to save runtime RAM)
MFU Canon MF3228 is attached to Windows XP and shared from it by SMB
XP is not a domain member, only workgroup.
For 'security' reasons, a user is created on WinXP with name 'print' and
password 'print1' (because guest access apparently did not work)
Now, I start 'system-config-printer' as root and try to add a printer.
I select 'Windows printer via Samba', I enter XP IP and printer share name into
'smb://' field, then click 'Browse'. After a short pause, I get 'Authorization
required' dialog where I can enter login, domain/workgroup and password. And
there, my Authorization is successful, I can select shared printer name and
click 'OK'.
But to complete printer setup, I have to enter these login and password into
'Authentication' section, where I see 'Verify' button. Above it I also see
'Username:' and 'Password:' fields, where password is entered above the
username for unknown reason, and no field for workgroup or domain.
And I was never able to Verify the same login and password fields however I
tried. I entered login and password in the reverse, I prepended XP hostname and
workgroup name before login, I used '\' and '/' separators - no luck
Surely I know that Linux interoperation with Windows is not of top
priority with Ubuntu developers, but I would be happy if such kind of a
very popular household scenario were tested for Ubuntu LTS releases in
some way. Thank you in advance for your responses.
