I have managed to solve the mystery of my missing CUPS printers in the
gnome print dialog. The cups server is configured to require a username
and password to access the printer. It appears that, at the moment,
gnome print can't deal with this. If user authentication on the CUPS
server is disabled then I can see and print to the printer.
Are there any ideas on how to get around this without disabling the user
authentication on the CUPS server?
