Hello,
For reasons that do not matter right now I moved from FF to GCS as my default browser. A day ago I ran into printer problems that I usually addres by use of CUPS. Much to my dismay I could not do any aignificant work because of lack of authorization. Ordinarily a popup appears to let you enter credentials but it did not. After a day of hairpulling and spelunking the net i chanced on a message of some good soul who wrote that he had the same problem with chromium and that switching to a different browser solved it. Much to my surprise he was right. I went back to FF and there it was: the popup for my credentials.
There ought to be a law that this should not happen. :) FF rocks!
I wonder what particular bug triggers this behavior in GCS. But in case you run into something similar here's this one more thing to try.
I don't know, but I opened a page in Google Chrome right now and printed a page, no problem and no popup. Same behaviour as in FF. But when printing a second job, failed in mid-print, and when trying again it says that the printer failed and refuses. Says to check printer, but printer shows no error at all, nor cups, nor in the log. Went to FF, printed the same page with no trouble. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
