[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#507029: cups doesn't configure allow remote printing

[publicbug]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny2
Severity: normal

by default when configuring a printer via the cups web interface and 
then selecting allow remote printing (even if you tick from the 
internet) the   AuthInfoRequired  user,password is added /etc/cups/printers.conf . 
This leads remote clients unable to print unless they enter a user name and a password. Commenting out the line for the respective printer 
allows them to print. Please prompt or add a field to deselect the AuthInfoRequired
. Thank you.
