I routinely set up cups to offer print queues for users whether Linux (automatic discovery, automatic setup), Macintosh (via cups or via netatalk) and Windows (via Samba, providing APW) and cups has been a remarkable print server/service with very few problems. Obviously I try to stay away from editing the cups config files by hand because they tend to get trampled on by cups configuration tools (http://localhost:631) or via system-config-printer (which finally seems to live in peace alongside cups configuration tools). Something, somewhere, somehow entered that line in the printers.conf file (AuthInfoRequired negotiate) as I am quite certain that I didn't put it in there - not even from an errant selection in one of the above mentioned configuration tools. Anyway, c'est la vie - that's what I get for not raking through the config files with emacs and relying upon the gui tools Craig -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
