Comment 0 for bug 959451

Hi,

For end-user desktops, we've inserted the printing credentials in the user's gnome-keyring to make printing authentication automated.

This worked perfectly last year and still works today ... up to the moment when the /etc/cups/printers.conf is auto-modified with the following change :
AuthInfoRequired none
to
AuthInfoRequired username,password

The result is that the user gets a Window which asks the username and the password to print.

The printers are installed system wide (authentication can not be done with the printer's URI) and we send printing jobs to a Windows printing server.

Thanks,
