Hello,
Using CUPS version 1.3.9-8.46.46.1 to print to a SMB printer but it keeps prompting to enter the users linux password.
In /etc/cups/printers.conf there’s a line which says: “AuthInfoRequired username,password”
If I change this to: “AuthInfoRequired none” sometimes when CUPS is restarted or sometimes when I print to the printer it’ll change it back to “username,password”.
Below is the printers.conf configuration:
<Printer jp>
AuthInfoRequired username,password
Info jp
DeviceURI smb://[userid]:[password]@[domain]/[computer]/[printer share]
State Idle
StateTime 1439297423
Accepting Yes
Shared Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
OpPolicy default
ErrorPolicy stop-printer
</Printer>
If anyone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.
