Title:
system-config-printer does not overwrite samba global workgroup
settings
Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
Using Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic, smbclient Version 3.3.2,
and system-config-printer 1.1.3, the smb.conf WORKGROUP is not
overruled by the specifications you give in the system-config-printer.
If you install a printer "COLOR" in Workgroup "WORK" on server
"scp012", like /WORK/scp012/COLOR, then use authorizations, you will
not be able to use your network printer using the gnome print options,
as long as you do not manually change the WORKGROUP settings in the
smb.conf file. You get messages like "Cannot prompt for
authorization", or "To many failed attempts"... It took me a while to
discover that, and it would be better if system-config-printer is able
to overrule the global samba settings, or at least warn people that
they have to make the manual changes.
