One workaround is following. This will prevent CUPS to change sudo invoke-rc.d cups stop sudo vi /etc/cups/printers.conf Put comment character into row: AuthInfoRequired username,password sudo chattr +i /etc/cups/printers.conf sudo invoke-rc.d cups start
CUPS can't take attribute immutable out from file. Changing file to read-only does not help enough. If you need to restore file back to original state, run command sudo chattr -i /etc/cups/printers.conf Still waiting for correct fix for this bug... -- cups says "can't promp for authorization" when printing to my samba printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
