Network Printing Requires Authentication

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2051 / 2 Years ago, fri, june 10, 2022, 1:00:21

I am trying to print a PDF on an Ubuntu, and the printer is hooked up to my Windows desktop. Everything is going fine, but when I test-print a page, it asks me for authentication. The default username is francislau and there is a blank password box. I tried my Ubuntu password but it was incorrect. Does anyone know what the credientials are?

Francis, I encountered exactly the same issue.

When I use the Windows username and password, the document prints successfully, but it is a nuisance because I must enter the user/pass for every document that I print.

I solved the issue after finding this bug report. In summary, delete your printer and add it again, but make sure you use the correct user/pass combination the very first time you are prompted for it.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric 64bit.
