Description Martin Pitt 2005-03-02 15:31:16 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Adding a SMB printer with gnome-cups-add works fine, but gnome-cups-manager does
not show the username and password in the connection properties.

Even if /etc/cups/printers.conf has "DeviceURI smb://user:pass@host/printername"
(set up correctly by g-c-add), gnome_cups_printer_get_uri(printer) always only
returns "smb://host/printername", i. e. strips username and password. Thus I
assume this is a problem in an underlying library.

For the record, this is also being tracked at

Thanks in advance!

known.
the cups url parser does not handle smb://user:pass/share

We need to write something custom.

Moving all gnome-cups-manager bugs to new product. Filter on Kjartan's spring cleaning.
Comment 4 Martin Pitt 2009-04-30 05:38:23 UTC 
Let's close this, nobody uses g-c-m any more, and it's unmaintained.
