Bug Description

At home, the printer is attached to my mother's windows 2000 computer. To print
to it, I need to authenticate with a username and password. I have added a
printer through the printer UI, and tried to print. The properties screen shows
this message:
Ready: Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 50 seconds...ERROR:
Connection failed with error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Nothing is printed.

/etc/cups/printers.conf has this in it:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.21rc1
