Sorry to say but the bug is still there in Ubuntu 9.04. Has there been a regression?
Imho, not being able to print should be considered a very very major issue for any operating system. My only workaround is the following (quite tedious as you can see). 1. open terminal. 2. type the following to prevent cups from reseting your modifications: sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop <enter password> 3. type the following to open printers.conf in the editor: sudo gedit /etc/cups/printers.conf 4. edit the following: <DefaultPrinter iP4500> # AuthInfoRequired username,password <-- comment out </Printer> 5. save printers.conf 6. unable any further change to it: sudo chattr +i /etc/cups/printers.conf 7. type the following to start cups again: sudo /etc/init.d/cups start 8. at each subsequent print job, you will still need to start/stop cups server. Run this script before each print: sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop sudo /etc/init.d/cups start -- Printing from gnome-apps fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
