I wasn't aware of the chronology of it, but it was quite clear that the removal was intentional. We have three options: 1. Change cups to send the username (not the password of course) 2. Change the UI so that it won't be as surprising that the fields are blank. (e.g. a text telling that it won't be shown but can be used for changing the info) 3. Ditch gnome-cups-manager and go with that new one which I don't remember the name of. As a result of the printing BoF's at the Ubuntu Developer Summit my money is on no. 3. :-) Cheers, Søren. -- username for smb printer is not shown on printer properties https://launchpad.net/bugs/8125 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
