[Bug 305030] Re: Failed to print document - can't prompt for authorization
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 283811 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283811 Got printing to work.. after an hour or so of google'ing and tinkering I'm new to Launchpad (today) - didn't see where to post on the 'non duplicate or original bug...' I have this issue on Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64 Intrepid. Printing used to work. Have not printed for a while from my laptop and now after numerous updates it only works for some apps like Openoffice but not for others like Evolution. Printer is a Brother MFC-8440 connected to a Windows Vista system via USB. Anyway, I mucked around with the /etc/cups/printer.conf file without luck - different error messages depending on what I did - rotate between "Error printing. Can't prompt for authorization" to "Error printing: Too many failed attempts". I copied the existing printer through the Gnome GUI and pasted it with a different name and then choose this new one as my default printer. Voila it worked fine from all the applications (no cupsys restarting needed). Also, seems to me that config files being reverted and not keeping changes might have to do with debconf. If i recall correctly there's an argument to dpkg that allows reconfiguring pkgs so that they either don't use debconf or at least you can modify your configuration so it's configuration change takes ahold. I did check the Vista System and Domain Event Logs to see if there were any failed auth attempts (yes auditing is turned on for this). There were none. -- Failed to print document - can't prompt for authorization https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305030 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For me, this is the same bug has bug #283811. Not sure which should be made the main one, here you have figure out that it affects GTK apps only, there, the line that make it reappears in printers.conf is believed to be known, I am trying to figure out if it is right or not by investigating the patch that added Auth-info-required in CUPS.

[Bug 305030] Re: Failed to print document - can't prompt for authorization
I have a similar problem with IPP printing that requires authentication, and I think it's the same bug (or related at least). I set up the printer (IPP) and the first time I printed I was prompted for a password, but it worked. After this, however, I got the authentication error described above. After som digging, I have it kind of working by doing this: 1. Changing the URI in /etc/cups/printers.conf from DeviceURI ipp://:631/printers/printer1 to DeviceURI ipp://USER:PASSWORD@:631/printers/printer1 2. Removed myself from the lpadmin group. Now I can print using lpr or Acroreader (which uses lp/lpr), but I still can't print from Evince! Adding the USER:PASSWORD in system-config-printer does not work, but manually editing /etc/cups/printers.conf did. As a first try, I commented out the "AuthInfoRequired" line, but it crept back in when I restarted Cups! Another thing which may or may not be related is that I can't change the printer settings for this printer that require authentication. [And yes, I tried it while still begin in the lpadmin group...] If I use the Cups web interface, it works however. But it's not very convenient... -- Failed to print document - can't prompt for authorization https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305030 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK, I found the blog entry that was linked to above: http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2008/11/21/cant-print-in-evince-gedit- claws-mail/ . Apparently, in the /etc/cups/printer.conf file one can try commenting out AuthInfoRequired username,password, such that it becomes # AuthInfoRequired username,password Info SlicerDicer Now, the other option is to enter a valid user on your network. You can do this through the GUI (system > administration > printing > change location ). Or, you can do it like so in the /etc/cups/printer.conf file: AuthInfoRequired username,password Info PrinterName Location LocationName DeviceURI smb://user:password@/COMPUTERNAME/PrinterName If this doesn't work, then it's truly a bug. glass.dimly -- Failed to print document - can't prompt for authorization https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305030 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I realize I've missed something here: you said your printer does not require any authentication. So there's also a bug in the CUPS printing system, which sets up the printer the wrong way. >From the blog post quoted above, the problem is that the second line should >not be present, and removing it is said to solve the bug.
