Bug Description
With a USB attached printer, when going through the New Printer dialogue in Ubuntu, it prompts for a username and password. Even if I type in a username for the original user account when the instance was installed, it doesn't accept the credentials.
With Windows 8.1 it won't even see the printer when attempting to connect with an IP address.
The printer prints locally successfully, and the firewall is off.
WORKAROUND: Install Samba.
