For testing, I have added AuthInfoRequired username,password to one of the print queue entries in /etc/cups/printers.conf and restarted CUPS. This printer shows correctly in your dialog that authentication is required. Problem is the following: I printed through this printer successfully from your dialog, not getting asked for a password. As I am privileged user (in "lpadmin" group), I tried also to print via sudo su nobody -c 'lpr -P 2 ~/.bashrc' Then I get only asked for my password to execute sudo, but CUPS does not ask for the password of "nobody". It simply printes the job. This looks like that AuthInfoRequired username,password in /etc/cups/printers.conf makes CUPS reporting that, but in reality it does not need it. Per is using standard CUPS APIs (http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/api-cups.html#PRINTERS_AND_CLASSES) to report whether a printer needs authentication. Seems that CUPS has a bug here. Per will report it to CUPS upstream.
