Hello,
my update in place to 12.04 was successful.
I can now print.

From reading upstream, it seems that the first print job doesn't get authentication and you have to delete it..
hen you are able to print. So I proceeded this way:
- print from firefox
No authentication box
- in cups web administration page I see the job as failed
- delete job
- start another job in firefox
Now I get the authorization window and am able to print

NOTE: I don't know if it is a problem of the windows print server in place I'm using, but with the default settings the print job keeps staying in "waiting to complete". So that if you run another job, it stays on hold because the former has not completed. I found that putting the settings advised in my Fedora bugzilla solved the problem:
