[Bug 445333] Re: remember password on printing to windows printers does not work

 

SRU proposal for utopic (gtk+2.0)

** Description changed:

- 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.
+ [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:
