Description Sam Morris 2012-04-07 05:50:25 UTC 
When I print from a program such as Evince, after I press print, but before the job is sent to the printer,  I'm prompted for a username/password. When I print from Libreoffice, the print job just sits in the queue forever. The following goes to CUPS' error_log:

E [07/Apr/2012:13:44:21 +0100] [Job 108] Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)

I guess CUPS is sending the job on to the Windows system that the printer is attached to without attempting to authenticate.

Here's the contents of CUPS' printers.conf:
