I realize the last post here was almost two years ago, but I am new to
Ubuntu, having recently wiped my drive to completely remove Windows from
my laptop.
Funny enough, my reason for getting rid of Windows was that they kept
re-installing an update that interfered with printing to a shared
printer. Now, with Ubuntu, I'm happy to be done with Windows and vow
never to go back...but I'm still having problems printing.
I found this post because I'm experiencing these exact symptoms, but the
suggested solution does not work. Is anybody working on a fix? Is
there a work-around?
I have a very stable Windows 7 desktop that is always on...connected via
USB to an old HP Laserjet IV Plus that is a workhorse. The printer
works great locally, and until a few weeks ago it was working flawlessly
as a shared printer, as well.
When I installed Ubuntu and ran into this problem, I tried every
suggestion I was able to find on the web, but nothing works. I continue
to see this same behavior with the "credentials required" error.
Please help
