Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Passwords for printers are not stored and the users are required
     to retype it with every print job for password protected printers

  [Test Case]

   * Configure a remote (shared via SMB), password-protected printer.

   * Request a print job.

   * Each subsequent job will require retyping the password.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Cherry-pick from upstream (present in Gtk+3.13.8).

   * Minor conflict resolution needed (line numbers changed)

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug description:
  i am printing from my ubuntu karmic to a windows box. everytime i print i get asked to input username and password to windows box, then the document gets printed. there is a "remember password" checkbox, but it keeps asking me when printing the next document.
