Mac OS X uses PennGroups and kerberos to facilitate PennKey authentication. The following procedure works on OS X versions 10.8.4 – 10.13.3. Requirements: access to PennNet, PennGroups LDAP account (ask jasonrw), administrative access to the target Mac OS X 10.8.4 – 10.13.3. Enabling per user authentication on MAC Printing to WorkCentre 7345 I installed the MAC OS X driver but I am having a hard time figuring out how I get this to prompt the user for their pin number before they can print.
Printing when authentication is set When printing a document in an environment where user authentication or account track is employed, you need to send the authentication information (user name and password) to this machine to execute printing. This requirement limits the users who can use this machine, preventing unauthorized use by a third party. When this machine receives a print job from a user who is not allowed to print or a print job without authentication information, this machine automatically discards the job. A print job without authentication information is a print job that is sent without correctly configuring the User Authentication/Account Track setting using the printer driver even though the User Authentication/Account Track setting is configured on this machine. If Print in Output Method: is selected while the User Authentication/Account Track check box is cleared on the Output Method window of the printer driver, the print job is considered as a print job without authentication information.

How to print from the computer. If ID & Print is set to ON in ID & Print Settings, a print job is considered as an ID & Print job even if Output Method is set to Print for the printer driver (default: OFF). For details on ID & Print Settings, refer to.
In the Output Method window, select the User Authentication check box (and the Account Track check box). When user authentication is enabled, select Recipient User, enter the user name and password, then click OK. When this machine is accessible to public users (unregistered users), selecting Public User enables you to execute printing without entering the user name and password. When an external authentication server is used, click User Authentication Server Setting. and select the authentication server. To perform MFP authentication when external server authentication is used together, specify the MFP as an authentication server.
When the Save Settings check box is selected, the settings are saved. When the Do not show this window when setting check box is selected, this dialog box is not displayed next time. If you always use the same user name and password, selecting this check box eliminates the need for entering them each time.
If account track is enabled, enter the account name and password, then click OK. When the Save Settings check box is selected, the settings are saved. When the Do not show this window when setting check box is selected, this dialog box is not displayed next time.
If you always use the same account name and password, selecting this check box eliminates the need for entering them each time. Execute printing. Printing starts successfully when the authentication information is judged correct.
My set-up: 2 x iMac running 10.6.2 attached to AEBS via ethernet 1 x MacBook running 10.6.2 attached to AEBS via wireless 1 x HP PSC 1600 printer/scanner USB atached to one of the iMacs Printer sharing is enabled: everyone can print can print from either iMac. On the MacBook I can add the printer easily enough but, when I try to print, the job is held with the status: On hold (authentication required):!PSC1600series%40bucky%281Job%0-122550.jpg!
What's happening here. I've found the same problem in networks involving Windows machines, but I'm all OSX. I was able to resolve this problem, although I am not sure exactly how.
I disconnected the printer from the iMac and hooked it up to the AEBS via USB (side note: I know this works to share my printer, but don't use this as my default printing system, as then I can't make use of the scanning function on my printer). On the MacBook, I deleted the old printer, and installed the new set-up via AEBS.
Successfully printed. I then disconnected printer from AEBS, and reconnected it to iMac via USB, and reinstalled the printer to the iMac, and ensured that printer sharing was turned on. Went back to MacBook, reinstalled printer connected to iMac, but did NOT delete the printer via AEBS option; this meant that the same printer showed up 2x on the MacBook just in different locations; made the option via the iMac default. Was then able to successfully print from MacBook w/out the error message problem. I don't know why this worked, but it did. Perhaps will be helpful to you.
I got this problem after a very long troublefree period - so long in fact that I didn't remember how I had solved it in the first place. Everything went fine until we changed our network setup (new router, modem, yadda). In the Printer & Scan pref. Pane, delete the printer - Create a new printer, BUT don't give it the same name as before. So in the 'Name' field, enter something else. Proceed as usual.
Select the driver, etc. This worked for me after trying a lot of other, far more sophisticated options. I have the same problem - iMac attached to AEBS via ethernet, with HP c5180 attached to iMac via USB. Printer sharing is turned on for all users.
But when I try to print from MacBook, I get the same error message as you. I have tried deleting and re-installing the printer to no avail. I have no problems printing from iMac to printer, only when I try to send print job via the network. Notably, I did not have this issue prior to my upgrade to Snow Leopard, even though equipment set-up was exactly the same as current. I was able to resolve this problem, although I am not sure exactly how.

We had a similar problem and it was self inflicted: I deleted and re-installed a printer and shared it using the same name (that was on a Mac Mini running 10.6.2).
After that my wife got that same error message (authentication required). Deleting the printer on her MacBook did NOT resolve the problem.
I had to delete the printer on the 'server' (the Mac Mini) and reinstall it using a different name. Then delete and re-install it on my wife's computer (the MacBook). Now printing works again = wife happy. Have been trying since 830a this morning to print to my iMac printers via shared network. Did not realize that upgrade to Snow Leopard was causing the problems as printers had worked on shared network previously.
Read this forum at 1230p, quickly used my '+' and '-' buttons on the Mac Book to delete all the shared printers, used '+' and '-' buttons on the iMac to delete, then add back, the USB-attached printers, then added printers to Mac Book. It is now 1255p. Those little '+' and '-' buttons are rock stars! Please assist. My situation:.

Shared Canon MP150 printer on Power Mac G5 (Leopard). Previously worked fine as shared printer.
New dynamic= Power Book G4 'died' and was replaced by MacBook Pro 13' (v10.6.3) Results when attempting to use shared printer: 'On hold (authentication required)' Attempts:. Deleted printer from all computers sharing printer. Added and renamed printer to G5. Added printer with new name to other computers Same result: 'On hold (authentication required)' I would hesitate in declaring this problem 'solved.' The people who have resolved this problem seem quite uncertain as to how it was resolved. Hello, Trying to print from an iMac running 10.6.x to a shared Canon Pixma iP4500 printer USB-connected on another local iMac running 10.5.x, I encountered the 'printing on hold (authentication required)' blockage.
At least for one test case. Here is what I did: After checking all the usual issues in the Sharing and Print-Fax Control panels without any improvement, and verifying that local printing functioned normally, I went to the local machine, opened a browser window, and entered this URL: This is the control interface for the CUPS printing subsystem on that machine. (CUPS stands for 'Common UNIX Printing System' and appears be the mechanism that makes printing work on MacOS X.) Then I chose the Administration tab. This revealed a button 'Edit Configuration File'. I clicked on that and got a editable window containing the configuration file.
I located the following text sequence. Allow From None Allow From @LOCAL. Interpretation: No printing request from a remote machine would be accepted.
(Note: I neglected to write down the text I found there. I am fairly certain of the word 'None' - it was either that or something synonymous.) I changed this to.
Allow From All Allow From @LOCAL. And saved the edit. At that point I was informed of a printing subsystem reset.
I walked over to the 'remote' machine and attempted to print on the Canon. It now worked. Note 1: The configuration file is available on the local 10.5.x machines that I checked, but it doesn't seem to be accessible on my 10.6.4 machine.
Clicking on 'Edit Configuration File' has no effect. I think it may be a permissions issue. Security has been tightened on 10.6.4, I think.
Note 2: There's an option to use the default configuration. But the default doesn't seem to say 'Allow from None' or anything similar in the Location section. Here's my interpretation of what I'm seeing: Most, maybe all, adjustments that affect local printing end up modifying this configuration file.
It accumulates changes over time, and gets progressively harder to read, and perhaps the printing subsystem becomes a bit confused. Maybe for that reason, or some completely different one, the text denying all remote accesses was inserted on the 10.5.x machine. Changes to GUI printing setup in the Print&FAX control panel or elsewhere may not be able to undo the damage, so a manual modification was required. Apple Footer.
