Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
When printing a pdf with a samba network printer evince always asks for authentication. If the authentication has been stored for the printer Evince still asks for authentication but uses the stored username and password.
This produces the unexpected result that the document still prints correctly if you type in an incorrect (or blank) username and password when evince asks.

This may not be evince specific. I am seeing the same behavior in other programs (such as chrome). My guess is that it has to do with gnome printing or cups but I'm not sure which package.
