Description Phil Sharfstein 2003-04-02 00:25:31 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
When you enter a password in the printconf SMB Share queue type it automatically
adds a '\' to escape special characters.  This '\' goes into the
/var/spool/lpd/PRINTQ/script.cfg file, and is sent to
/usr/share/printconf/util/smbprint, which does not work, since the password has
an extra '\' in it.


For example: if you enter

pass!word

as your password in printconf, it will show up as

password="pass\!word"

in script.cfg.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
printconf-gui-0.4.24

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a SMB queue printer in printconf 
2.Enter a password with a ! character.
3.I don't know if any other chars have the same problem
