Comment 4 for bug 445333

These password dialogs are not the same and probably come from different packages. Most probably they come from the packages which contain the printing dialog (where you choose on which printer you want to print and how many copies). I assume they immediately appear after you click "Print" or "OK" at the bottom of the application's print dialog. GEdit most probably uses the printing dialog of GTK. provided by the GTK package) and OpenOffice.org has its own printing dialog. As the option to remember the password only appears in OpenOffice.org this bug report makes only sense there. Therefore I am moving it to OpenOffice.org.

Note also that system-config-printer is a printer setup tool. It is only used to set up print queues, configure default settings and the behavior of the printing system. system-config-printer is not called when printing out of an application.
