I noticed a that bug too. In my case the authentification is rejected when I lgoin via the prompt and when trying to verify my login data in the login data fields on adding the printer. But when use the "Search ... " (Durchsuchen)-button with entered MYWORKGROUP/server/, it asks not just for the username and the password but also for the workgroup and I can login and view all the available printers there. So it seems that the workgroup give in the smb://-line isn't used correctly on login (it may use standard WORKGROUP instead).
Hopefully this may help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848065 Title: system-config-printer cannot authenticate Windows Samba printer, while smbclient can (cli_init_creds) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/848065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
