Why Does SMB Printer Sometimes Prompt For Password?
 

Please accept my apology. If this questions is so stupidly simple, I am not seeing that.

I have an SMB printer defined on Ubuntu 10.04. The printer is running on Windows XP Workstation. The SMB definition has the password embedded. Evolution and Firefox prompt for a password. Gedit and vim don't.

Why?

Can I correct this?

If I can correct this, how?

Edit:
remove #AuthInfoRequired username,password
from the printer's definition in /etc/cups/printers.conf

So is your thread resolved then or not? If so, could you please mark your thread as solved using the thread tools located at the top of the page? Thanks!

Cheers,

Josh
