Package: cups
Version: 1.4.1-5
Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When CUPS regenerates /etc/cups/printers.conf it adds additional
entries that change the way printing jobs are authenticated. In my
case, the affected printer is configured with a URI similar to this:
DeviceURI ipp://a_remote_user_name:passwd@server_ip/printers/queue_name
This configuration worked in cups 1.3. However, when cups rewrites the
file, it adds the following line to the printer entry:
AuthInfoRequired username,password
After that, all print jobs have to be authenticated manually. Removing
that line manually and restarting cups leads back to the expected
authentication behavior, but the file gets rewritten, and following
daemon restarts will cause jobs to trigger the manual authentication.
This problem is made worse due to the cups daemon rewriting the file at
every start (bug #552086).

Dear Debian User,
This bug report was submitted against a version of CUPS that is no
longer supported in Debian. Use of our limited, volunteer supported
resources is best served by not keeping around old, hardware-specific
and inactive bugs for longer than desirable, so the report is now being
closed.
You may, of course, wish to review the reported problem. It would be
appreciated if any future investigation could be conducted using the
testing or unstable distributions. If considered necessary, this report
could be re-opened or a new bug report, possibly referencing this one,
submitted. Please note there are now separate cups and cups-filters
packages.
Thank you for your report.
Regards,
Brian.
