Use the previous authentication to check for Windows printers. Once you choose a printer, try that same authentication instead of asking for authentication again. (6.78 KB, patch)

Description Forrest 2004-02-24 22:52:04 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031030

Description of problem:
I would like to get support for allowing a domain/username/password
when setting up a SMB printer.  To browse for printers, I have to
provide my Windows authentication first.  Once that is provided, I can
see many printers.  If I cannot authenticate first, no printers are
found, and I have to manually input them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-printer-0.6.93-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Select SMB printer
2.  No authentication is allowed


Actual Results:  No authentication is allowed

Expected Results:  I'd like to authenticate first and then be able to
browse the printers

Could you take out the magic user names and IP addresses please? :-)

Also, please don't comment out replaced code, just remove code that
you don't want and it makes the patch easier to understand.

What are the consequences of this patch for users who use no
authentication?

Ack...is there any way to delete the previous attachments?  I edited
them, I just didn't save them before I attached them.

Comment 8 Forrest 2004-03-02 23:22:19 UTC
Sorry about the commented code.  I kept it there for my own sanity.

For users who use no authentication, they can just click OK, and it
won't use any authentication.  Perhaps we could add a checkbox that
will allow authentication (or not).  We always authenticate here, so I
just put authentication in as the default.

Comment 9 Tim Waugh 2006-08-22 13:55:53 UTC
system-config-printer has been re-written for Fedora Core 6, and unfortunately
this feature did not get integrated in time before the re-write.

I would be very grateful if you could adapt your patch for the new 0.7.x version
of system-config-printer, available in Fedora Core 6 test 2 (and rawhide/Fedora
devel).

Thanks.

[This is a mass update sent to many bugs that missed earlier such messages due
to having their version set to a test version.]

This bug was originally filed against a version of Fedora Core which is no
longer supported, even for security updates.  Many changes have occured since
then.  Please retest this bug against a still supported version.  Note that FC3
and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.

This bug will be closed after a few weeks if no information is given indicating
that the bug is still present in a supported release.

Comment 11 Bug Zapper 2008-04-04 01:50:03 UTC

make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks.

If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6,
please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly
encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to
refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs
for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them.

If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days
from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in
the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If
you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting
the change.

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

Work is progressing to get much better support for SMB printing in
system-config-printer.

Comment 13 Tim Waugh 2008-05-19 10:03:11 UTC
system-config-printer-0.9.91-1.fc10 has the beginnings of support for this;
however it doesn't yet work due to (I think) libsmbclient issues.

Comment 14 Tim Waugh 2008-05-29 10:55:14 UTC
All fixed now.
