I run the following test steps :

Initial status : Gnome keyring is empty

Step #1 :
 print from Firefox
 Nothing asked, new printer icon on top right of the screen. Click -> Job#1 is "Held for authentication"
 Right-click > Authenticate
 I Give the credentials and check the "Remember password". (attached "print_step1.png")
 Job is printed
 Gnome keyring gets a "Network password" entry "domain\username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (smb)"
 
Step #2 :
 print from Firefox
 A dialog opens ans ask for authentication "Authentication is required to print document "Title" on printer printername.
 I Give the credentials and check the "Remember password". (attached "print_step2.png")
 Job is printed
 Gnome keyring gets a second "Password or secret" entry "ipp://localhost:631/printers/printername"

Step #3 and following :
 print from Firefox
 No dialog comes to the user
 Job is printed
 Gnome keyring has no more entries than the 2 said before.

To me this is the acceptable behaviour.
Ideal would even be to have step #1 asking interactively for credentials, step #2 skipped so that we get immediately step #3. But this is outside the scope of this bug report I think.

Thanks!
Samuel

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.
