Description Bhupinder Singh 2006-12-01 12:01:31 UTC

I am trying to add a Printer through Yast, as follows:

Printer --> Network Printers --> Print via SMB Network Printer --> Samba or Windows Printer

On this screen the Password field does not accept passwords with "@" in it. 

Although I am able to connect to the printer using the same password through command line.

Comment 5 Michal Zugec 2006-12-05 07:26:00 UTC

I think it's enought.
When I will have a time, I will consult this with samba documentation
Thank for report

Comment 6 Bhupinder Singh 2006-12-05 17:12:21 UTC

I am able to use the same password with RedHat Linux, Fedora Core

Comment 7 Bhupinder Singh 2006-12-06 06:52:18 UTC

I changed my password and it works. But the command line works with all the characters.

bhupinder@apps1:~> echo -en "\r" | smbclient "//192.168.0.59/HPLaserJ" "test@123" -c "print -" -U "test" -W "bhrigus-hyd"

Comment 8 Matej Horvath 2006-12-11 21:59:20 UTC

This bug has been reassigned to us by accident, according to the bug activity. I'm going to reassign it back to Michal.

Comment 9 Johannes Meixner 2007-02-05 11:24:56 UTC

'@' in the password works directly on the command line but it is
at least problematic (perhaps impossible) for CUPS because
here it must be in the DeviceURI which is according to
"man smbspool" something like
--------------------------------------------------------------
smb://username:password@server[:port]/printer
smb://username:password@workgroup/server[:port]/printer
--------------------------------------------------------------
I.e. '@' is used to seperate the password from the server name
or the workgroup so that there cannot be a plain '@' in the
password.

Perhaps it is possible to somehow encode a '@' in the password
and smbspool can decode it but at the moment I don't know.
I will make it as an enhancement request for openSUSE 10.3
(which does not mean that it can be solved there).

Comment 11 Michal Zugec 2007-11-22 09:42:46 UTC

reopen to solve

Comment 13 Andreas Gruenbacher 2007-11-22 13:49:44 UTC

Comment 9: the usual thing to do would be to url encode special charters. This would turn @ into %40. There are other characters like / and & which need to be url encoded as well.

Comment 14 Michal Zugec 2007-11-26 14:38:35 UTC

fixed in yast2-printer-2.15.6
