Bug#679244: system-config-printer: Password dialog for printing is in cleartext

[Denny Schierz]

Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.2.3-3
Severity: normal


If the printer needs a password to print the job, the password dialog
appears and the password isn't hidden / encrypted, so anyone behind the
person can read it
