I had all the symptoms described when I set up a printer on Ubuntu 9.04 using the normal Administration->Printing-> New->Select Device-> Network Printer-> Windows Printer via SAMBA->Browsing for the smb shared printer and Having "Prompt user if authentication is required" checked.
The same setup but having "Set authentication details now" checked with Username & Password correctly entered for the smb share works flawlessly. There is no line in printers.conf stating AuthInfoRequired username,password # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.9 # Written by cupsd on 2009-04-28 14:13 <DefaultPrinter Epson-Stylus-D88> Info Epson Stylus D88 Location lilians office DeviceURI smb://lilian:l...@mdkgroup/ATOML/EPSOND88 Username is " lilian", password is " l1l" @ workgroup/server/printer -- 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 Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
