Bug#401463: gnome-cups-manager: 'Queue' field of Printer Connection assistant should not be treated as password

Package: gnome-cups-manager
Version: 0.25-2.1
Severity: normal

When attempting to set up a network printer via LPD protocol, the
'Queue' field of Printer Connection assistant with Unix Printer (LPD)
option chosen is rendered as password; i.e., you see asterisks instead
of what you typed. This is unnecessary and annoying as the remove queue
is not a secret or password. It should be rendered normally.
