Steps to reproduce: 1. Install a Samba shared printer that does not require authorization by going to System->Administration->Printing 2. On the wizard screen under Authorization leave the default setting, "Prompt user if authentication is required" 3. Print and be prompted for authorization Details: I get asked for authorization with every print. I can leave the password blank or put anything at all in the username and password fields and the document will print. It shows up as "Guest" user on the XP machine. Workaround: I tried changing the setting for the authorization to guest with no password but the change did not persist. This seems to be another bug which I will file separately. I got rid of the prompt by deleting and recreating the printer and setting the username to "guest" and leaving the password blank under authorization.
