Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - Definitely Fedora 9, on fedora-list discussion, I am told that this appeared in Fedora 8 How reproducible: - don't know. I can reproduce merely by issuing a print command in Firefox Steps to Reproduce: 1. Created a printer that is accessed through Windows printer sharing 2. Can print anything including test pages as root 3. Go to print as User from Firefox, the following line is added automatically to /etc/cups/printers.conf AuthInfoRequired negotiate which stops all user printing until that line is removed. Actual results: - cannot print until that line is removed from /etc/cups/printers.conf Expected results: - not having to do that Additional info: - note that this was an upgrade and not a 'clean install' but I ended up saving my previous cupsd.conf and replacing it with the cupsd.conf.rpmnew file see attached for /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (which should be the unaltered version installed by cups rpm from fedora)
Created attachment 312580 [details] cupsd.conf
I am of the opinion that it may be the application querying cups to see if authentication is required the first time it tries to print. Anyway, I see there are others with this issue... http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1028522&postcount=1 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5449368

I saw on the fedora-list mailing list that this is for a printer queue whose device URI starts 'smb:', so this is a duplicate of bug #453951. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 453951 ***
