Title: Jobs requiring authentication never display authentication prompt Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu 8.10, given a job sent to a printer requiring authentication (e.g. a restricted samba printer), the printer applet never displays an authentication dialog. All jobs from any application are queued by the user root, which may be part of the problem (since I'm logged in as a different user).
