Bug#658391: libprintbackend-cups: useless authentication dialog box with a remote CUPS server

Package: libgtk-3-0
Version: 3.2.3-1
Severity: normal

When I want to print from evince, I get the Print dialog box with
the list of printers, and for one of them, Status says:

  Getting printer information...

and a dialog box

  Authentication is required to get a file from <name_of_CUPS_server>

appears. Authentication is needed to print on such a printer, but
if I want to print on another one or print to file, authentication
is not needed.

Thus this authentication dialog box is annoying. It should appear
only when needed.
