Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-2
Severity: normal

I print from a Debian machine running Samba and cupsys to a shared
printer on a Windows machine.  If I configure a cupsys printer with an
smb:// URL that includes user and password, e.g.,
smb://Matt:password/host/share, the cupsys printer works as intended.

Occasionally after an administrative change such as adding another
printer via the web interface at http://localhost:631, the first
printer stops working because the user and password information has
been stripped from the Samba URL: instead of
smb://user:pass/host/share, the URL has become just smb://host/share.

I just watched this problem occur when I added a second printer via
the web interface.  Yet when I tried to repeat the same steps after
deleting both printers just now, while writing this bug report, no
problem occurred.  So I have not found conditions under which I can
reliably reproduce the problem, but this problem has occurred for me
several times over the past few weeks.
