I feel this problem is much bigger than "just" LibreOffice.

I have a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 with KDE desktop, and I cannot
print to a printer that requires authentication from anything that I
have tried, except Firefox. All other applications that I've tried fail
to print, including "lpr" and "lp" on the command line.

So I believe this bug should be brought to the attention of KDE
developers and probably cups also. At least.

Title:
  [Upstream] Unable to print to password protected (cups) printer

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi!

  I'm on Precise using LibreOffice 3.5.0.

  Situation:
  Windows 7 PC with a printer shared on it (Password protected).
  Ubuntu Precise system that uses this printer in cups, and set to 'ask password when needed'.

  Now I can print perfectly from gedit for example. After sending the print job, I get a popup to enter the login & pass for the printer.
  But with LibreOffice it never asks the credentials, so the printing fails (ACCESS DENIED in cups).

  Think this should be fixed asap :) Cause not being able to print in an Office application ... :)
