Description of problem: redhat-config-printer does not allow you to create an SMB-attached printer that is *NOT* authenticated Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-printer-0.6.47.11-1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start redhat-config-printer 2. Create new printer using the druid 3. Create SMB printer 4. Try to leave authentication fields blank Actual results: Leave name and password blank and select "Next" and nothing happens... Expected results: Leave name and password blank and select "Next" and continue...
Sounds like the other end requires authentication. We don't allow you to set up an SMB queue that we know doesn't work (it tries smbclient). However, this may be triggering a "bug" (actually smbclient changed the meaning of one of its command line options, with no deprecation period) which will soon be addressed in a redhat-config-printer update.
Changing product and version.
