I realize I've missed something here: you said your printer does not require any authentication. So there's also a bug in the CUPS printing system, which sets up the printer the wrong way.

From the blog post quoted above, the problem is that the second line should not be present, and removing it is said to solve the bug. This is because the 'Guest' user (passed via the printer address) is does not need a password to print. Is that the situation of all reporters here?
