System->Administration->Printing. Printer->Properties. "Print Test Page" The AuthInfoRequired setting in printers.conf is assigned automatically and cannot be overridden by simple edits. The assignment on my system and with my configuration choices is "none", which should disable authentication altogether. Instead cups prompts for the password for a username "none". AuthInfoRequired is set to 'none' in printers.conf. # cat print*.conf # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.4.3 # Written by cupsd # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING <DefaultPrinter HP-OfficeJet-V40> AuthInfoRequired none Info HP OfficeJet V40 Location Machintosh printer MakeModel HP OfficeJet V40 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 DeviceURI dnssd://HP%20OfficeJet%20V40%20%40%20Marie%20Ochi%20-%20Jacobs%E2%80%99s%20iMac._ipp._tcp.local/cups State Idle StateTime 1287424135 Type 8425500 Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - Filter application/vnd.cups-raster 100 rastertogutenprint.5.2 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy retry-job </Printer> -- Cups prompts for authorization on a network printer even though it is not required https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455734 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
