Bug Description
Binary package hint: system-
The problem:
I am using a cups server (debian etch), which uses encryption and local (on the server) authentication to allow users printing.
When using windows, I can simply add the printer using the following URL:
https:/
Then I can change the authentication settings to my username on the server and it's password.
I was not able to figure out, how to add the printer in ubuntu using system-
Tried to enter the URL with
- ipp://user:
- https:/
So I think there should be an easy way to specify different authentication credentials for a remote printer queue in system-
I've just tried adding the printer in fedora 8, and it works by adding /user:pwd@ server: port/printer
ipp:/
when comparing the printers.conf file entries,
Ubuntu does not add the
AuthInfoRequired username,password
line.
But even when using the printers.conf from fedora and restarting cups it does not work.
