[Bug 283811] Re: cups says "can't promp for authorization" when printing to my samba printer

As I understand it, it means that Gnome have now included a patch in their development version to be able to ask a username and password.

So Gnome will (the day your version of Ubuntu will include this new patch)  ask a username and password when
AuthInfoRequired username,password will be in /etc/cups/printers.conf.

Since that bug suggest that it does not really need a password (since it
is able to print without giving one), I doubt it will help much.

I note that GNOME have used the following CUPS documentation to write their patch :
http://www.cups.org/doc-1.4/api-cups.html#PASSWORDS_AND_AUTHENTICATION
