Description

So I found https://github.com/OpenPrinting/system-config-printer/blob/master/authconn.py

I can see the AUTH_FIELD with 'domain', but that's not shown to me in the GUI, I'm able to
give the domain before the username with the syntax in the title of the issue.

Would there be a way to preconfigure the domain for all printers/users?

Research direction

Start with authconn.py and its AUTH_FIELD entry for “domain”, then trace how the authentication dialog exposes and stores those fields. Determine how a domain could be preconfigured for all printers and users, and verify that the configured value is used by the dialog without requiring domain\username input.
