This affects 12.04. cupsd running on the client enumerates the Type field with CUPS_PRINTER_AUTHENTICATED (0x400000).
CUPS no longer has a public bug tracker. I found the following (regarding old CUPS bug #3862) at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.cups.devel/4814: [STR Closed w/o Resolution] This is being done by the GUI apps, not by CUPS... Link: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3862 Version: -feature Fix Version: Third-party -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/797252 Title: libcups asks for password when its not needed Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: cups We have a cups-setup that allows remote printing when authenticated, and accepts local printing from a "trusted" network without authentication. The Location bock looks like this: <Location /> # allow either authorized of remote users Satisfy any Order deny,allow # remote access needs to be authed. AuthType Default Require valid-user # local access is always allowed. Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from a.b.c.d/255.255.255.0 Deny from all </Location> When using cmd-line utils, like lpr, lpq, lprm and so on, it doesn't ask for a password, but when using GUI-programs that uses libcups they see the CUPS_PRINTER_AUTHENTICATED-flag on the printer and asks for username/password without needing to.
