Title:
  cups says "can't promp for authorization" when printing to my samba
  printer

Status in GTK+:
  Expired
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since Intrepid, cups or (something else) keep adding :

  AuthInfoRequired username,password

  In my /etc/cups/printers.conf

  (my printer doesn't require authentification by the way)

  This makes every applications I try to print from say
  printing failed
  "Can't promp for authorization"

  Then I have to manually edit /etc/cups/printers.conf, restart cups and
  print. However the file is modified right away again and next time I
  restart cups I have the same problem again.

  This is a severe regression for me.
