Comment 40 for bug 292791

When I had the same problem before, libpam-smbpass was installed. Removing
samba completely removed that package. Libpam-smbpass was installed when I
shared a folder (which prompted me to have samba installed automatically).
The problem started when I tried stopping a shared printer with ongoing
print jobs in the CUPS web administration page.
