Yes. I see the same behavior from gedit and from anything which uses the default gnome print dialog. I do not get this behavior from open office though. (I think its because open office uses a different print managing method.)

Actually I was able to get around the problem by hardcoding my username and password into the DeviceURI field in printers.conf. Its not a great solution since my password is written in plaintext, but it serves as a workaround.

As I side note, I had some success using AuthInfoRequired none in printer.conf. This stopped the print dialog from asking for authorization info, but got reset by CUPS whenever I restart the computer.
