Yes. I see the same behavior from gedit and from anything which uses the default gnome print dialog. I do not get this behavior from open office though. (I think its because open office uses a different print managing method.)
Actually I was able to get around the problem by hardcoding my username and password into the DeviceURI field in printers.conf. Its not a great solution since my password is written in plaintext, but it serves as a workaround. As I side note, I had some success using AuthInfoRequired none in printer.conf. This stopped the print dialog from asking for authorization info, but got reset by CUPS whenever I restart the computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/637405 Title: Evince asks for samba authentication when it doesn't need to. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
