OK,

I found the blog entry that was linked to above: http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2008/11/21/cant-print-in-evince-gedit-claws-mail/ .

Apparently, in the /etc/cups/printer.conf file one can try commenting out AuthInfoRequired username,password, such that it becomes

# AuthInfoRequired username,password
Info SlicerDicer

Now, the other option is to enter a valid user on your network. You can do this through the GUI (system > administration > printing > change location ). Or, you can do it like so in the /etc/cups/printer.conf file:

AuthInfoRequired username,password
Info PrinterName
Location LocationName
DeviceURI smb://user:password@/COMPUTERNAME/PrinterName

If this doesn't work, then it's truly a bug.
