AuthInfoRequired username,password setup

[sasharozenson]

Hello, We are using a samba printer and authentication is required, unfortunatelly I was unable to find how to set up "AuthInfoRequired username,password" parameter in a printer queue, is there an undocumented option? Thank you very much

Just stumbled across this and am wondering the same. Don't mean to hijack but here's my report if it helps.

Given: Ubuntu 20.04, Puppet 6.24, cups 2.3.1 When: I apply the below manifest with the given hiera data

class hg_workstation::profile::common
{

  # CUPS printer configuration
  include cups

}

---
cups::default_queue: 'example'
cups::web_interface: true
cups::resources:
  example:
    ensure: 'printer'
    uri: 'smb://example.com/print'
    model: 'example.ppd'
    options:
      - AuthInfoRequired: 'username,password'

In order to: add a new SMB network printer. Then: I get the below error.

Info: Applying configuration version '1633009613'
Error: /Stage[main]/Cups::Queues::Resources/Cups_queue[example]: Could not evaluate: Managing the option 'AuthInfoRequired' is unsupported.

This option can be specified if we manually add the printer to Ubuntu 20.04 desktops, and is required to submit a print job to our print servers. Is support for this option planned?

Okay, I feel a bit silly but I've found the answer to this myself. Apparently the option has to be specified as 'auth-info-required' rather than 'AuthInfoRequired'.
