[Bug 283811] Re: cups says can't promp for authorization when printing to my samba printer
Hi all, Just to confirm the workaround... I had the same problem, printing failed from Ubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope on a samba shared printer (on an XP PC). The issue came from only a few apps, like Firefox, but not on OpenOffice or Okular. Normally the printer sharing on Windows shouldn't prompt for auth, yet the Cups error.log showed a failed auth message. I changed the /etc/cups/printers.conf as suggested above: #AuthInfoRequired username,password AuthInfoRequired none ... DeviceURI smb://serverUsername:serverpassw...@sharepath That fixed the problem, everything works even after restarting CUPS and/or the Ubuntu box (the printers.conf isn't modified). Rebooting the Microsoft PC sharing the printer doesn't change the situation (still able to print). Think have the same pb from a MAC OS X notebook, I'll try applying the same config changes and will advise.

Noble, I feel your pain. Try this, it worked for me. From my earlier post... ...For some reason I opened SERVER (above NEW) in SYSTEM/ADMINISTRATION/PRINTING/PRINTER CONFIGURATION - LOCALHOST.

I had the same issues from my Ubuntu (Jaunty) client. Situation might be a little different from others. In my case, inkjet printer is physically connected to the other Ubuntu server (Hardy). I have printed through samba share, but it hasn't worked since the OS of the client was updated from Intrepid to Jaunty. My solution is publishing shared printers on the server side. To do this, go to System Administration Printing Server on the server side. Check Publish shared printers ... Check Allow printing from the Internet Then, on the client side, I removed all printers that were manually set up, and checked Show printers shared by other systems at System Administration Printing Server Then the client detects the shared inkjet printer, and a new printer icon soon appears on Printer configuration window on the client side. It was successful to print a PDF file and test page through the automatically detected shared printer, and printing is working fine so far.

[Bug 283811] Re: cups says can't promp for authorization when printing to my samba printer
Hello, I encountered this bug and managed to solve it. Here is the situation and the solution: In Ubuntu 9.04, I was trying to add a printer connected to a Vista Business PC in the same local network. I had turned this Vista PC on and I had logged in with the user Peter (who doesn't have a password). When going to System-Administration-Printers , I went to New and then Windows Printer via Samba. I was able to find the printer without problems and the test page printed no problem. However, next time I printed something, I got the can't prompt for authorization error. I tried the copy paste printer solution, and it let me print one more time, but next time I got the error again. My solution? When adding the samba printer, after filling the smb: text field, don't forget to go to Authentication and put Peter in the username field (you should obviously write the password too if you have one). -- 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

[Bug 283811] Re: cups says can't promp for authorization when printing to my samba printer
Allow me to join this discussion by highlighting the following message from DERG's report: 'Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)' I also have the problems mentioned in this post when trying to print from programs using cups (as far as I can tell - evince does not print happily, asking for authentication, while xpdf can print, however I believe it uses a different mechanism - lpr?). When looking in System - Admin - Printing; Printer - Properties I also see the error message quoted above displayed as the Printer State after/during the prompt saying it has been unable to ask for authentication. I should also add that the remote printer I'm connecting to does require authentication and I have setup the printer preferences to save my details. As such I can see that in my /etc/cups/printers.conf file I have the line DeviceURI smb://my-name:my-passw...@path/to/printer where my username and password are saved. The printer I am having problems with is at work, so I will try some of the workaround suggestions so far tomorrow and hopefully provide you any further details that I can help with. -- 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

What does puzzle me more about Derg log, is not that Tree connect failed, it is
that it tried to connect with a user I did not expect, marie:

Also, someone on the forums, seems to have come with a work-around that,
consisting of replacing the machine

[Bug 283811] Re: cups says can't promp for authorization when printing to my samba printer
I tried that one David the printer.conf re-writes out the changes no matter how the cupsd.conf is written. But, using PRINTER CONFIGURATION - LOCALHOST, I learned a new trick. In fact, a new workaround. The trick is to NOT to assume how things work. My problem is when I see NEW, I assume that's where to start. It seemed a reasonable assumption. In fact, I've read it somewhere in Ubuntu docks, that's where to begin. And, all though I'm have problems now, I've actually had success adding printers network printers by using NEW going from there. I was a happy camper. Then there was a update... the results are well documented. And, still unresolved... But, wait! I said learned a new trick. For some reason I opened SERVER (above NEW) in SYSTEM/ADMINISTRATION/PRINTING/PRINTER CONFIGURATION - LOCALHOST. In desperation, I checked Show Printers Shared by Other Systems Publish Shared Printers Connected To This System. Everything works like a charm. I don't know if both actually need to be checked but that can be worked on later.

Rereading manheim comment ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/283811/comments/5 ), about DeviceURI smb://SomeUser:TopSecretPassword@/server/Canon-i950 I now somehow recall to have read in 'man backend': Starting with CUPS 1.1.22, any authentication information in argv[0] is removed, so backend developers are urged to use the DEVICE_URI environment variable whenever authentication information is required.

[Bug 283811] Re: cups says can't promp for authorization when printing to my samba printer
Rethinking about my previous comment... DeviceURI smb://SomeUser:TopSecretPassword@/server/Canon-i950 in /etc/cups/printers.conf file is the correct way to go. (somehow https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=202977 show me this is the ok way). So forgot what I said about some possible AuthInfo Joe,MyPassword, this does surely not exist. Now about DERG's exchange with the author of the AuthInfoRequired stuff. So we now have a better workaround than before, for people NOT USING Windows or SAMBA (using CUPS shared printer): 1) Open System/Administration/Printing and note the name of the printer in the newly open window. 2) Open a terminal window (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) with your main(admin) user, and type in: lpadmin -p printer_name -o auth-info-required=none where printer_name is replaced by name of the printer you noted in step 1. I believe the 3D after = was a copy/paste 'bug'. 3) Retest printing 4) Give feedback here For people using Windows or Samba shared printer, we have this clue: Well, it could be that the Windows system isn't allowing guest printing, so the smb backend is telling CUPS that it needs a username and password. Again... Feedback is welcome. It is still unclear to me if lpadmin -p printer_name -o auth-info- required=none neutralize the smb backend from telling CUPS that it needs a username and password. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #202977 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=202977 -- 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

I have also tried, now, to print via my network while operating in XP to my printer host PC when it was operating in Ubuntu 9.04 - it fails, prompting for the same password as it does the printer PC is in Ubuntu 9.04. As a test, I moved the printer to our 3rd PC which is ONLY Ubuntu 9.04 - No XP, no dual boot; just Ubuntu 9.04.

BTW, this same Ubuntu 9.04 only PC has the same issues as I do trying to print via the network to the printer host PC.

As Paul said others as well elsewhere on the internet, some have had success with workarounds where I have not. Could this be some combination of downloaded software that is causing this? Well, I see it like keeping adding the said line is a symptom. The authentication error that triggers the symptom can be slightly different for each user. If all my PCs are running Ubuntu 9.04 do I need Samba to share printers files? no, CUPS should be fine. After applying the workaround, where you able to print once? I suggest that: 1) You apply the said workaround: lpadmin -p printer_name -o auth-info-required=none 2)In Ubuntu Gutsy or newer, select System - Administration - Printing in the main menu of your desktop. The printer setup tool system-config-printer will open. 3)Go to the troubleshooting wizard in system-config-printer. You find it by in the Help menu of system-config-printer. It produces a text file with a lot of useful information to attach to bug reports. Follow the instructions of the wizard. If you reach the test page step, you can either click the button to print the test page or you can print a job to the selected printer from any application or from the command line. The job will be shown in the integrated job viewer. Wait until it completes or goes into Stopped state. ONLY THEN AND NOT BEFORE mark the checkbox at the job, answer whether the job got printed correctly, and click Forward. After that the file will get generated. Save it and attach it to this bug report.

[Bug 283811] Re: cups says can't promp for authorization when printing to my samba printer
** (gedit:9584): WARNING **: NOT IMPLEMENTED: We need to prompt for authorization What does it mean? The truth is ... I don't know... I am just an advance user trying to help. Well... Maybe it could help if I was reformulating this bug in my own words. The following is just how *I* understand this bug right now. The fact that AuthInfoRequired username,password keeps being added to the /etc/cups/printers.conf file is not a bug but a feature. The bug is that when we remove it, printing does work, at least one time. ;-) Why keeping adding AuthInfoRequired username,password is a feature? It is a feature, that auto-detect that the remote system requires authentication for printing. Basically, when CUPS received an authentication error on trying to print, it keeps the information in the /etc/cups/printers.conf file that authentication is required. The fact that removing this line, the job is printed once, suggest that the remote system have accepted to print the job, but have also sent an authentication error... which sure does looks like a bug of the remote printing system to me. Often, people does not describe much the remote printing system they use... because the bug seems to be on the Ubuntu client side. My feeling is that most if not all of the remote system, are either Windows or Samba shared printer. My guess is that none of the reporter is having this on a CUPS shared printer. It is a bit unclear to me what is a remote printer that does not need a password. I means... I guess this means it does use the 'guest' username, with an empty password, but I am not much an administrator to know much about this stuff. Then also, I now know that there is an application on Samba to deals with 'remote' password. While writing this, I am taking a look at 'man 8 smbpasswd' about which I have almost no other knowledge that it does exist. Then, my FEELING is that /etc/printers.conf probably supports some kind of: AuthInfo Joe,MyPassword to set the username and password to send, once it had discovered that a remote password is needed. But this is just a guess from me... CUPS documentation about authentification seems... missing in my opinion. Obviously, if the AuthInfoRequired username,password but the supposedly existing AuthInfo line is not there. Then the system (Gnome, KDE) should be able to ask the username and password to the user. From duplicate bug, Gnome teams would have said that they do not support asking username and password for now. (In http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384940 ?). The: ** (gedit:9584): WARNING **: NOT IMPLEMENTED: We need to prompt for authorization line seen in previous message, for me seems like Gedit saying: I know the remote printer need a username and password, that this info have not been obtained (like in AuthInfo line if that exists), but I don't know ... yet ... how to ask this information to the user. Hope this long comment can help have a more common picture of the problem. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #384940 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384940 -- 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

I'm only posting this to help in the only capacity that I can that is to explain what is happening. Unlike those of you who are advanced users, I am not. But, I can share how my network is setup, what works what doesn't as there seems to be various descriptions. Maybe this will help those who do have skills. We have a 3 PC network. One PC is all Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit, one is Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit/XP dual boot my PC is dual boot Ubuntu 9.04 amd64-bit/XP 32-bit. The dual boot Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit/XP has the printer. Neither of the other Ubuntu 9.04 PCs can share the printer when that PC with the printer is running Ubuntu 9.04. We get the AuthInfoRequired username,password problem in the printer.conf file. Oddly enough, we can print when the printer PC is running XP the others are in Ubuntu 9.04. And, when the printer PC is in XP the other dual boot amd64-bit PC is in XP, it can print XP to XP - no problems. I haven't tested with the printer PC in Ubuntu 9.04 the dual boot amd64-bit PC is in XP; sorry. All other file sharing between the 3 computers works fine. Over at cups.org, Michael Sweet responded to my post. Here's the whole series where he gave some suggestions but to no avail; http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?s5908+gcups.bugs+v5914+T0 From: Michael R Sweet Date: 13:19 Mon Well, it could be that the Windows system isn't allowing guest printing, so the smb backend is telling CUPS that it needs a username and password. Aside from that, I don't have any other suggestions to offer, sorry... I posted back that the only time the printing failed was when the printer PC was running Ubuntu 9.04 the other 2 PCs were in Ubuntu 9.04 as well. He hasn't responded to that.

After reading it, I understand a bit the fact that it is normal that the line: auth-info-required username,password keeps 'creeping in' (English is not my first language, excuse if the expression is wrong) in printers.conf file. BACKENDS Backends will continue to get the authentication information from the cache file (aN in the spool directory, where N is the job ID). The format of this file is one authentication value per line, with each value Base64-encoded. When the authentication fails, backends can send an ATTR: auth-info-required=... message to stderr to reconfigure the auth-info-required attribute on the queue, and then exit with code 2 to indicate that authentication is required. and the auth-info-required is then save 'normally' when the printers.conf file is saved. This suggest than rather than remove that line, it would be better to change it to become: auth-info-required none that would indicate that the remote system where the printer is, does not request any authorization. Also, since Gnome seems unable to request a username and password yet, it would be good to also add a line: auth-info-supported none to indicate that the local system have no idea how to deal with authorization. Or does it knows how to deal with 'domain' authorization? -- 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
[Bug 283811] Re: cups says can't promp for authorization when printing to my samba printer
I have just added bug #314543 as a duplicate of this one. Looks like I will choose this bug as the main one. Yeah, just also added bug #305030 as duplicate of this one. From bug #314543, we learned that an other possible symptom of this bug is: After creating network printer, first job is printed Ok, but any job sent after is rejected. When trying to print from text editor the following message appears: ERROR PRINTING, Too many failed attempts We also just learned that the new (improved) workaround is working: Thanks Paul, I have checked the /etc/cups/printers.conf, and after reading bug #283811, I have changed the line to: AuthInfoRequired none and it is working now for Eclipse and Firefox; therefore I can confirm that is the same bug, but with another symptom. So it looks that just this line is enough. The auth-info-supported none seems not needed. -- 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
[Bug 283811] Re: cups says can't promp for authorization when printing to my samba printer
This looks stupid, but could someone tell me if setting: LogLevel none in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is an effective workaround for the bug? I ask that because the code in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/283811/comments/28 is inside a: else if (loglevel == CUPSD_LOG_ATTR). -- 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

Thanks Philip, mostly reassuring to see that this workaround did not worked, it would have been a strange one. http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2008/11/21/cant-print-in-evince-gedit-claws-mail/#comment-2017 say that replacing username by a real username on your system, and password by it's real password, avoid to have cups constantly re-add that line in printers.conf. -- 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
