Public bug reported:

When printing to an SMB printer, if the credentials are incorrect then
printing simply fails without notifying the user. I believe because the
print job will be retried repeatedly this can also result in having a
Windows AD account locked out because of too many failed logon attempts
within a short interval...although I'm not sure if the default 60 second
interval is enough to avoid this, I believe clicking 'print' repeatedly
can trigger a lock-out. Either way, the user should probably know their
credentials are incorrect.
