  Credentials from gnome-keyring is not used while printing

Bug description:
  Hi,

  For end-user desktops, we've inserted the printing credentials in the
  user's gnome-keyring to make printing authentication automated.

  This worked perfectly last year and still works today ... up to the moment when the /etc/cups/printers.conf is auto-modified with the following change :
  AuthInfoRequired none
  to
  AuthInfoRequired username,password

  The result is that the user gets a Window which asks the username and
  the password to print.

  The printers are installed system wide (authentication can not be done
  with the printer's URI) and we send printing jobs to a Windows
  printing server.

  Thanks,

  == Workaround ==
  * add system-config-printer-applet to session start-up.
  * alternate, add the username/password to DeviceURI in printer.conf

  == Note ==
  * print indicator service is deprecated, and usually pops us s-c-p for queue mgmt.
