Testing request: BZ 1715900 - Authentication dialog for samba printer provides no input fields

[Ben Cotton]

Hi QA team,

Now that Fedora 32 is out, I'd like to see if anyone has the setup to test
BZ 1715900:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1715900

This was accepted as a Prioritized Bug in the Before Time and the person
who initially reported it doesn't have access to the environment any more.
I'd like to get confirmation that
samba-4.10.14-0.fc30 fixes it, if anyone has the ability to share a printer
via SMB.

I have a USB printer plugged into a NAS device that then shares it over 
SMB with no password required; I used to be able to print to it in 
Fedora 29 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1743756), but 
have not been able to print to it in either F30 or F31.  I have recently 
confirmed that it is still failing with samba-4.11.7-1.fc31.x86_64, 
either through GNOME or directly through CUPS, but I don't know if 
4.10.14 in F32 is going to be different.  Give me some time to upgrade 
my machine, and I'll give it a shot with F32.  If nothing else, the fact 
that I have a setup that I _know_ used to work, and has now been broken 
for several months, is frustrating enough to me that I'd be happy to 
help diagnose whatever else is needed to get my setup working again, 
although I may need help from developers in troubleshooting steps to try.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear here. The bug in question was reported against
Fedora 30. So the fact that you're still having trouble with 4.11.7
suggests that 4.10.14 doesn't actually fix it (or it's a separate, but
similar issue). I'd be willing to bet they're close enough that the bug
isn't actually fixed.
