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 Additional info:
Created attachment 98021 [details] Patch for the gui to allow an authentication box
Created attachment 98022 [details] Use the previous authentication to check for Windows printers. Once you choose a printer, try that same authentication instead of asking for authentication again.
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?
Created attachment 98224 [details] GUI patch that creates an authentication box
Created attachment 98225 [details] New utils patch
Ack...is there any way to delete the previous attachments? I edited them, I just didn't save them before I attached them.
Created attachment 98226 [details] Util patch minus the commented code
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.
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.

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