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
