Description: A very common printing setup in universities/education and large companies is to have network printers shared via Windows File and Printer services, using the Active Directory accounts for authentication. The optimal way to connect to such printers on Linux is to add it as a local queue in CUPS, with smb://WORKGROUP/servername.example.com/sharedprinter as a remote path, and with the option "AuthInfoRequired" set to "username,password". This is then exposed as i.e. ipp://localhost:631/printers/QueueName In this setup, whenever a user tries to print, a popup comes up, asking for username and password. This popup is presented every time a user tries to print. It would be nice if LibreOffice was able to use the proper credentials from the system keyring. Other programs, notably Firefox, Google Chrome and all native GTK3 apps are able to do this. This is an example on how it looks in the keyring for a queue named QueueName: $ secret-tool search uri ipp://localhost:631/printers/PrintQueue [/org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/login/14837] label = ipp://localhost:631/printers/PrintQueue secret = correct horse battery staple created = 2019-07-29 21:35:31 modified = 2019-07-29 21:35:31 schema = org.freedesktop.Secret.Generic attribute.uri = ipp://localhost:631/printers/PrintQueue attribute.user = exampleuser Note: A workaround is to store the credentials directly in the printer path in the cups config as smb://WORKGROUP/username:password@servername.example.com/sharedprinter, but this is considered unsafe, and wouldn't work on a multiuser system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a network printer shared from a Windows server, don't store the credentials in the printer share path 2. Make sure credentials are stored in the keyring (a popup when printing from i.e. gedit will usually have a checkbox for storing the credentials) 3. Try printing from a LibreOffice application Actual Results: User is prompted for credentials, even though the credentials are present in the keyring Expected Results: LibreOffice finds the credentials in the keyring and uses them. Or possibly: the print job is handed over to the host system in a different manner than today, negating the need for a built-in popup for this (see: Firefox, Google Chrome) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I have tested this on multiple modern distributions, with an eye to making printing for our students and staff at NTNU more accessible and easier.
Thanks for reporting this issue. A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
This happens because they usually only teach how to deal with it theoretically. We defended the courseware on the device of the printer, but at the same time we did not understand anything about the assembly and how to clean up such bugs in practice. So, if you want to fix it more quickly, it is better to do self-education at universities, and the written works should be assigned to one of these companies https://bestwritersonline.com/ , here is just a description of them and you can find a normal one. I gave this written garbage to one of the companies, and studied the algorithm of practical work myself. Now I am repairing such equipment myself.
I believe that the program should be made as effective and convenient for everyone as possible. But this kind of training should have more practical lessons, not just theory. If you have problems with this part, you can turn to this source https://www.wiseessays.com/essay-writing-help and choose a paper writing service that will help you cope with your task and the problem will be solved very quickly. But the practice is very important for the correct assimilation of the material and becoming a professional. Therefore, I think it is worth paying more attention to this.
Oh I usually have some problems with my printer.. So I search how to fix it on different platform, sites. Hope your experience will help me. Let me suggest you an amazing servise https://www.bestcustomwriting.com/research-paper-assistance that could cope with any type of writing assignment.
This behaviour persists in 2022, AFAICT. and is extremely frustrating. Or is there some solution? I've Googled for this many times over the years, to no avail. Perhaps I've not looked hard enough? LO Community 7.2.5.2 on Fedora 35.
Created attachment 183467 [details] Example of disabling the Libre Office version of print dialogs in an earlier version In older LibreOffice version you could disable the LibreOffice print dialog and instead use the one supplier with the operating system.
Agree. This behavior persists in 2022. Currently using 7.3.6.2 in Linux. However. There was a work around just 2 years back which has been removed. You could change the printer dialogue to use the one the operating system has and then it worked since that can connect to a "keyring". Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General. And there uncheck the "Print Dialogs" Use LibreOffice dialogs. (If I remember right you had to change a setting somewhere else in the settings to see the Print Dialogs setting)
