But after the first print it is changed back to 'AuthInfoRequired username,password'

In my case I noticed, that a Windows-machine indirectly asks for a username and password when printing to that printer. (DeviceURI smb://192.168.0.3/lp). My Windows-PC can only print on that printer, if I add a network-drive on the same server that requires the same username and password.

Maybe this can help somebody...
