Description tim 2008-09-22 01:44:05 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Via CUPS I have a printer defined which is on a Windows server.
In the URI for the printer I have defined a user name and password
in this format user:password@server

The printer works when printing from OpenOffice, Adobe Acrobat and when making test pages from CUPS. But I can't print from evince: Dialog
"Failed to print document. Can't prompt for authorization".

Note that when printing from the other apps I mentioned, there is no authorisation prompt.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up a smb printer using cups, which requires a user and password
2. Open a PDF into evince
3. Try to print it


Actual results:
Printing does not success due to the dialog box mentioned above.

Expected results:
The document should print.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

This is confirmed by several users in Ubuntu and in Debian. See [1] and [2]. This seems to happen with other apps like GEdit and Firefox, so it may be a GTK+ bug (see [3], which tries workarounds).

Oh, and it's still present in 2.24.1.
Comment 3 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2009-01-04 16:40:05 UTC 
Users confirm this is occurring with all GTK+ apps, so I've opened bug 566522 in GTK+. I guess you can close this one.
