[Bug 445333] Re: remember password on printing to windows printers does not work

[Dariusz Gadomski]

While I was working on a packport of this feature I have discovered a
bug in the gtk printing backends (affects series 2 and 3) that may cause
random crashes due to buffer overflow.

I have reported the issue upstream and am working on backports to utopic
and trusty (gtk2 and gtk3).

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Passwords for printers are not stored and the users are required
     to retype it with every print job for password protected printers

  [Test Case]

   * Configure a remote (shared via SMB), password-protected printer.

   * Request a print job.

   * Each subsequent job will require retyping the password.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Cherry-pick from upstream (present in Gtk+3.13.8).

   * Minor conflict resolution needed (line numbers changed)

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug description:
