Bug Description
Currently, Gtk2 applications (e.g. Firefox) can't print on printers that require authentication if they don't connect to the IPP server via a local unix socket, but over TCP. (the authentication dialog pops up once, but the client only sends an empty password to the server after that).
This was fixed in the upstream Gtk3 branch some time ago (commit f807f7834fea0db
I have confirmed that the Gtk3 patch also fixes the problem for Gtk2; it would be nice to have the fix included in the Precise Gtk2 packages as I need this feature to work. It probably also affects other Ubuntu releases.
System:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04
libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-0ubuntu6
The issue is fixed in the raring version, we should probably backport the commit to precise as well: /git.gnome. org/browse/ gtk+/commit/ ?h=gtk- 2-24&id= 85825ebaf2c16bb 48602d5d3ced5e9 ecd6605852
