#180577 — Hold for Authentication

Hi:

Valentina’s iMac is on the same local network as my MacBook Pro. My printer, directly connected to the MacBook, is set up for printer sharing. Her iMac can see it, and check on things like the ink supply levels.

But when she tries to print, she gets the message that it’s “Holding for Authorisation”. I’ve checked all the advice I can find on line (mostly ‘remove the password from the keychain’) but can’t get it to work. Any suggestions from gurus here?

Can you move the printer to the LAN?

Aha! By connecting via WiFi, the answer appears to be yes.

Many thanks.

On the printer itself, is there a setting for Internet Printing Protocol 
(IPP)? If so make sure it is set to "no security".
