Bug Description

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.2, system-config-printer 1.5.11-1ubuntu2.

When I tried to authenticate a print job, and provided incorrect auth info, system-config-printer crashed, and the bug report dialog said the issue was a TypeError in on_password_stored(), because on_password_stored() was missing its last positional argument `unused`.

I did some digging, and I think I was able to fix the problem by changing the function definition of on_password_stored() on line 135 of jobviewer.py, so that the parameter `unused` was given a default value of None. I'd want someone else to verify that fix, though -- I'm not 100% confident in it.

Thanks!
