Package: cups Version: 1.4.1-5 Severity: important --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When CUPS regenerates /etc/cups/printers.conf it adds additional entries that change the way printing jobs are authenticated. In my case, the affected printer is configured with a URI similar to this: DeviceURI ipp://a_remote_user_name:pas...@server_ip/printers/queue_name This configuration worked in cups 1.3. However, when cups rewrites the file, it adds the following line to the printer entry: AuthInfoRequired username,password After that, all print jobs have to be authenticated manually. Removing that line manually and restarting cups leads back to the expected authentication behavior, but the file gets rewritten, and following daemon restarts will cause jobs to trigger the manual authentication. This problem is made worse due to the cups daemon rewriting the file at every start (bug #552086). --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 unstable ftp.nl.debian.org 500 sid www.lamaresh.net --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ====================================-+-================ libavahi-client3 (>= 0.6.16) | 0.6.25-1 libavahi-common3 (>= 0.6.16) | 0.6.25-1 libc6 (>= 2.7) | 2.10.1-1 libcups2 (>= 1.4.0) | 1.4.1-5 libcupscgi1 (>= 1.4.0) | 1.4.1-5 libcupsdriver1 (>= 1.4.0) | 1.4.1-5 libcupsimage2 (>= 1.4.0) | 1.4.1-5 libcupsmime1 (>= 1.4.0) | 1.4.1-5 libcupsppdc1 (>= 1.4.0) | 1.4.1-5 libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2) | 1.2.16-2 libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) | 1:4.4.2-1 libgnutls26 (>= 2.7.14-0) | 2.8.4-1 libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2) | 1.7dfsg~beta3-1 libijs-0.35 | 0.35-7 libkrb5-3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2) | 1.7dfsg~beta3-1 libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7) | 2.4.17-2 libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1) | 1.1.0-4 libpaper1 | 1.1.23+nmu1 libpoppler4 | 0.10.6-1 libslp1 | 1.2.1-7.6 libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) | 4.4.2-1 libusb-0.1-4 (>= 2:0.1.12) | 2:0.1.12-13 zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) | 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 debconf (>= 1.2.9) | 1.5.28 OR debconf-2.0 | poppler-utils | 0.12.0-2 OR xpdf-utils | perl-modules | 5.10.1-5 procps | 1:3.2.8-2 ghostscript | 8.70~dfsg-2+b1 lsb-base (>= 3) | 3.2-23 cups-common (>= 1.4.1) | 1.4.1-5 cups-client (>= 1.4.1-5) | 1.4.1-5 ssl-cert (>= 1.0.11) | 1.0.23 adduser | 3.111 bc | 1.06.95-2 ttf-freefont | 20090104-4 Recommends (Version) | Installed =====================================-+-=========== foomatic-filters (>= 4.0) | 4.0-20090509-1 cups-driver-gutenprint | 5.2.4-1 ghostscript-cups | 8.70~dfsg-2+b1 Suggests (Version) | Installed =======================================-+-=========== cups-bsd | 1.4.1-5 cups-ppdc | foomatic-db-engine | 4.0-20090509-2 foomatic-db | 20090616-1 hplip | 3.9.2-3 xpdf-korean | OR xpdf-japanese | OR xpdf-chinese-traditional | OR xpdf-chinese-simplified | cups-pdf | 2.5.0-8 smbclient (>= 3.0.9) | udev | 146-5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
