Well, I manged to install karmic and updated fully. I think this is partially fixed.
Here is the thing: I set up two printers on a windows server. I allow guest to access the machine remotely, but only Printer-A allows guest to connect to it (but not print). Printer-B denies the guest to print. When printing to Printer-B: if AuthInfoRequired = none, then I get the authentication dialog, and when successfully printed, cups changes AuthInfoRequired to username,password. (very good thing) also, when AuthInfoRequired = username,password, I get the authentication dialog and everything works fine. Note: gnome does not remember my password, but I guess that has something to do with the gnome-keyring ?? When printing to Printer-A: I do not get the authentication dialog, no matter what the AuthInfoRequired says. In cups/error_log I get Print-Job: Unauthorized, but I don't think it even tries to connect to the win server. In jaunty I have the same setup, but then printing to Printer-B, I get the dialog only if AuthInfoRequired = none, else I get "Can't prompt for authentication". Since I need to install 20+ machines in the next 2 weeks or so, I've "fixed" this by having a script run every minute to set AuthInfoRequired to none if needed and reload cups... this at least allows the users to use the printers a bit Hope this helps -- Printing fails.
