[cups] Authentication Problem

[Dennis Putnam]

I have set up an SMB printer (CentOS 7) but am having trouble with 
authentication. When I submit a job, the queue shows it is being held 
for authentication. There seems to be no way to authenticate but in any 
case I want users to be able to print with no authentication. I cannot 
figure out how to configure cupsd.conf to remove the authentication 
requirement. I have played with some of the parameters but noting seems 
to help. Here is my current config, FWIW:
