I made the change, restarted cups, etc. The problem remained.

Last night, I had a power outage and the system rebooted. Now, with

# Cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
...
AuthInfoRequired none
...

Printing works from evolution ond Document Viewer 2.26.1.

But, the fix should not be to disable security.

Prior to making the change, printing to this printer works from cups
lpr, emacs, xpdf, gschem, etc.

Why does disabling security allow evolution to print?
