But after the first print it is changed back to 'AuthInfoRequired username,password' In my case I noticed, that a Windows-machine indirectly asks for a username and password when printing to that printer. (DeviceURI smb://192.168.0.3/lp). My Windows-PC can only print on that printer, if I add a network-drive on the same server that requires the same username and password. Maybe this can help somebody... -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
