Bug#276175: gnome-cups-manager: cups authentication

[Maarten Wijnen]

Package: gnome-cups-manager
Version: 0.25-2
Followup-For: Bug #276175

Hi,

I have had the same problem with gnome-cups-manager: it crashes once you try to
abort a print job. The problem disappeared when I changed the job
authentication section of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to use no authentication at all:

  <Location /jobs>
  #
  # You may wish to limit access to job operations, either with Allow
  # and Deny lines, or by requiring a username and password.
  #
  # old: AuthType Basic
  # old: AuthClass User
  AuthType None
  AuthClass Anonymous
  </Location>

Apparently gnome-cups-manager cannot handle cups job authentication. The work
around allows everyone to delete any job so it is no real solution to this
authentication bug but it might be usefull if you are the only user or trust
your other users not to mess with each other's jobs.
