[Bug 1438045] [NEW] Samba shared printer keeps prompting clients for username/password

Mon Mar 30 07:18:07 UTC 2015

Public bug reported:

This is a regression from Utopic, and Trusty.

With a USB attached printer, when going through the New Printer dialogue
in Ubuntu, it prompts for a username and password, despite the guest ok
= yes configuration being performed for both [printers] and [print$].

With Windows 8.1 it won't even see the printer when attempting to
connect with an IP address.

The printer prints locally successfully, and the firewall is off.
