I run the following test steps :
Initial status : Gnome keyring is empty
Step #1 :
print from Firefox
Nothing asked, new printer icon on top right of the screen. Click -> Job#1 is "Held for authentication"
Right-click > Authenticate
I Give the credentials and check the "Remember password". (attached "print_step1.png")
Job is printed
Gnome keyring gets a "Network password" entry "domain\<email address hidden> (smb)"
Step #2 :
print from Firefox
A dialog opens ans ask for authentication "Authentication is required to print document "Title" on printer printername.
I Give the credentials and check the "Remember password". (attached "print_step2.png")
Job is printed
Gnome keyring gets a second "Password or secret" entry "ipp://localhost:631/printers/printername"
Step #3 and following :
print from Firefox
No dialog comes to the user
Job is printed
Gnome keyring has no more entries than the 2 said before.
To me this is the acceptable behaviour.
Ideal would even be to have step #1 asking interactively for credentials, step #2 skipped so that we get immediately step #3. But this is outside the scope of this bug report I think.
