[STR New]

When using an SMB printer in CUPS, its username/password (stored in
/etc/cups/printers.conf) can't contain the '#' character. If an SMB
password contains the '#' character, it causes errors when trying to print
to this printer (the printer URI is automatically truncated in
printers.conf file and printing becomes impossible). Also the '@'
character in SMB passwords are handled somewhat incorrectly (password
string may be partially displayed in printer URI as plain text).
