[Bug 1438045] Re: Network shared printer keeps prompting clients for username/password

Mon Mar 30 11:40:00 UTC 2015

** Summary changed:

- Samba shared printer keeps prompting clients for username/password
+ Network shared printer keeps prompting clients for username/password

** Description changed:

  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.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Install Samba.
