CUPS was showing the SMB password (in lpstat, KUPS, web interface, ...)
when one configures access to a printer on a Windows or Samba server
through a regular account where the password starts with a number (see
bug report below). This bug is now fixed, the new release 1.1.4-3mdk
should be on the Cooker now.

hmm... this is the situation:

W2K professional with a shared printer called
HPLaserJ

Linux Mandrake 7.2 RC1 with cups-1.1.3-13mdk (no
cups printers installed
yet)

Linux:  I login as user 'japj', start KUPS (0.8.0)
and add a printer.
        select SMB backend
        user identification : "user" with password
"2p" (guest account checkbox
unchecked)
        select SMB printer from W2K system
        select PPD file (Apollo p-1200)
        printer name "printer", OK

Now when I look at the printer info from KUPS or
from the webview I see:

        Device URI:
smb://user:2p@PC1-JAPJ/HPLaserJ 

which contains both username & password.

If I follow this same procedure with a user
"administrator", password
"bla" then I see 

        Device URI: smb://PC1-JAPJ/HPLaserJ 


If you need any other information to reproduce
this then please let me
know!
 
        Best regards,
