Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

I wanted to use Ubuntu for printing at my university.
All printers there are logically controlled by one central samba server which handels authentication and billing of print jobs.
At this server you authenticate using your student's account username and password but you have to specify the domain.
At the moment, it works by using 'domain\username' syntax in the username field, but it would be much easier, if there were three text field in the dialog like when you connect to a samba server.
