[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#642213: Get-Printer-Attributes: cups-authorization-canceled (Unauthorized)

[Stefano Rivera]

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.0-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

I print through a central cups server that requires authentication. This
has worked fine in the past (last successfully printed on 15 Aug 2011).

I notice today that I cannot print, because CUPS doesn't seem to
retrieve my printer's status. In the process, I also filed Bug #642211
against system-config-printer.

I see a lot of the following in my error_log (when I enable debugging):
D [20/Sep/2011:15:00:14 +0200] [Job 530] Getting supported attributes...
D [20/Sep/2011:15:00:14 +0200] [Job 530] Get-Printer-Attributes: server-error-internal-error (Unknown)
D [20/Sep/2011:15:00:14 +0200] [Job 530] Get-Printer-Attributes returned server-error-internal-error.
E [20/Sep/2011:15:00:14 +0200] [Job 530] Unable to get printer status.
