CUPS printing on network printer requiring Kerberos/AD authentication (examples?)

Tue Apr 14 00:41:16 PDT 2009

Hello,

I've been trying to print from CUPS on Debian Linux to a HP LaserJet 4200 network printer that seems to require AD authentication.

I'm able to get Kerberos tickets either manually (kinit) or by setting up Kerberos authentication via PAM, so that part works fine. (I don't necessarily want to run Kerberos as login method for local Linux logins or CUPS, only get authentication to print on the network printer.)

Kerberos is also enabled in the CUPS configuration file. However while CUPS seems to add information to subscriptions.conf, I also see error messages about missing authentication data and such.

It's entirely possible my rather default cupsd.conf needs some fine-tuning beyond the "DefaultAuthType Negotiate", so if anybody has some working examples of authenticated network printer setups or other pointers, please share.

Thanks,

  Wouter
