Comment 2 for bug 959451

Hi Samuel,

AuthInfoRequired tells CUPS that the __remote__ printer needs authentication. When setting AuthInfoRequired, CUPS cannot check the username and password. It simply includes them in the print options when sending a job to the printer. From a quick glance at the gtk sources, it does not seem to pull those credentials from gnome-keyring, which is why it prompts your users every time for their password.

However, from your report it seems like you want authentication to the local CUPS instance, is this correct? Have you set up any other authentication with CUPS except AuthInfoRequired?
