Evince - Authentication required to print PDF

Ok, what's up with this? I found plenty of old gtk and/or evince bugs where you would constantly be prompted for authentication to print from evince and chromium. Openoffice prints just fine. I thought this had been fixed, but frankly I don't know since the kids rarely print pdf's or print from the browser. Other than adding the printer, I haven't messed with anything in cups at all. There haven't been any recent updates to cups or evince since mid-October.
Anyone else seen this or have a solution?
Thanks!

When I print the letter is sent to an HP 4250 printer which is attached to "print mail folder". It takes the letter printed on special paper and then seals the page into an envelope (kind of like the w2 forms and other bills you get with perforated edges). They can print to another printer which does not seal the letters which would compromise the privacy of the pdf document but we are trying to make it difficult for the "printers of letters" (not impossible) to read the pdf.
So to recap we would like to have a way of preventing people from reading a pdf document but allow them to print it to a printer. That is what we have thought of uptil now but can't think of anything better.

Print status "On Hold (Authentication Required)"?

After upgrading to 10.5.2, I am now unable to print to the networked laser printers in the Windows network at work. I can see the printers on the domain, but when I try to print nothing happens. When I look at the print status it says "On Hold (Authentication Required)". Printing worked just fine on Tuesday before the software update. I provide my network password but nothing changes. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Is there any way to get access to the beta release? Apple pushing out an update that breaks my ability to print anything on a windows network is a MAJOR roadblock. Deleting the printer queue didn't work. I spent two hours of my free time at the local Genius bar and we did get the CUPS workaround (setup the printer using CUPS) working, although it's a crappy solution since it can expose my domain password to someone who visits the right dialog. (Within this thread, I post what I and the fellow at the Genius Bar--yay Bell Square!--did to get this to work: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7097469#7097469)
Please tell me that Apple will be adding a test case for this into their regression test suite. I'd hate to see this problem crop up in the future. I like using Apple products but I'm worried because I'm seeing a lot of quality issues in the software: Mail doesn't populate the ICalendar automatically with calendar events despite checking that setting, right clicking on an ICalender item in an email doesn't always give you the option to view in ICalendar, editing ICalendar events doesn't always work (edit option missing) until you close and restart ICalendar, problems with IChat which I won't get into right now.
My sense is that these are bugs in features that probably worked at one time during the software life cycle but degraded (regressed). This is definitely the case for printing since it did work in 10.5.1. This leads me to believe that Apple doesn't have a good handle on quality, and also points to that Apple may not be using good agile development practices which would allow them to do quick deliveries (such as test automation).
I as a consumer then suffer. If Apple would like help implementing better software practices such as test driven development, automated unit testing, automated system testing, then please contact me.
I'd love to help a company I admire. You have great vision. Your products are OK, though could great if the quality was better. I hope Apple is using great software practices behind that, but from what I see, it doesn't. Sometimes, when I'm pull into the Apple franchise to enjoy a hamburger, I end up getting one that was made from squirrel meat because of problems in the kitchen.
Squirrel go down nearly as well as beef.

Print pdf from shared drive

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to print PDF document from SAP without user interaction.
Here PDF document will be in another server say, shared drive. In simple way, if i execute the program (shared drive path of the document will be hardcoded in program) PDF document(which will be on shared drive) will get printed on local default printer.
Please help me if anybody worked on similar requirement.
Thank you very much

In SAP Business by Designer, there is a reuse component called "Output management", which can enable end users to preview and print PDF document in a very convenient way. The printing is implemented in method:
PDF binary data and printer code can be stored in ls_print_data.
CALL METHOD cl_output_service=>document_output(
                it_attachment_ids = lt_att_ids
                is_archive_folder = ls_archive_folder
                is_application_id = ls_application_id
                ip_in_update_task = abap_false
                ip_application_queue_id = lv_output_queue_id
                ip_output_immediately = lv_output_imm
                ip_output_at = lv_output_plan_time
                ip_subject = lv_email_subject
                is_recipients = ls_recipients
                is_docdata = ls_docdata
                is_send_data = ls_send_data
                is_print_data = ls_print_data

Print pdf from WD JAVA

Hi All
I have a requirement to print PDF form from WD
without to see the PDF form
i'll be glad to see your suggestions
Yossi

iText creates PDFs, but it doesn't print PDFs. I'll look at gsprint; hopefully, it'll do what I need it to do. I do have the luxury of knowing that all users will have a version of Acrobat Reader, so it's too bad I can't kick off a process. The best I could do is kick the process off using Acrobat Reader to open the file and then print from the menu. This won't work since I need a way to ask for type pdf and have windows use the version registered, not the version hardcoded.
For example,
Process pr=null;
String arr[] = {"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Acrobat 5.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe",tmpf.getPath()};
try {
pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(arr);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
//Handle the exception
I tried using AcroRd32.exe, but it failed in finding it. Anyway, this would be last resort, since the user wants to press a Print button and grab it from the printer. I looked at the Java Print API (we are still on 1.2.2.008, so it'll be end of year before making the leap to 1.4) and it's worse than getting a root canal without novacaine.

Print .pdf always, .ps conditionally

Hi All,
I have a requirement of printing .pdf for all transactions always, but .ps for only few of those transactions which has <printpst> tag as 'Y'. How to configure. I created two different batches one for pdf and one for ps, but how to exclude ps batch at runtime based on an xml tag? I tried cloning the the pdf forms and assign different recipient for ps, it works partially that subforms wont print in ps (it occupies space but no data is printed for subforms).
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

The answer will vary (at least slightly) depending upon exactly how you are calling for print. Are you talking about EE DocFactory printing? Or are you talking about GenData with or without using the PrintFormset rule?
For standard edition Gendata you may be able to accomplish what you want using the "BatchingByRecipINI" rule.
I don't know what batching rule you are currently using, but in this case you would replace whatever you currently have with this one rule.
<Base Form Set Rules>
;BatchingByRecipINI;2;;
Note, I'm not trying to show you all your rules. I'm only showing that you add this rule to the Base Form Set Rules section of the Afgjob.jdt file.
This rule utilizes INI options where you can specify a search mask or other criteria that can be queried to determine your batching. In your case, if you only have two batches and the situation is as simple as you describe, it might only require this.
< BatchingByRecip >
Batch_Recip_Def = !//printpst=Y;"Batch1";ALL
Batch_Recip_Def = TRUE;"Batch2";ALL
The way I understand this, it begins at the top and considers each Batch_Recip_Def in sequence until it finds one that is true. In this case, set the first one to test your node for the right value. The second semicolon names the batch name associated with your ps print (in this case). The final value identifies recipients. ALL is a special case that says to match all recipients. Assuming your transaction does not have the necessary tag, then the second Batch_Recip_Def will be queried. In this case it is hard-coded to assume TRUE and ALL recipients again, so every transaction that doesn't meet the first condition should fall into this one.
Substitute your own batch names that point to the necessary print type and that's about it.

I am getting a printer message "on hold, Authentication required" when directly connected (USB) to any printer I try to install to my MacBook Pro. Any ideas?

I am having trouble with printing from my MacBook Pro. After succesfully installing a printer, sending a print job results in a alert in the print que that says "on hold Authentication Required"
I am fairly new to Mac and have not the slightest clue what I am doing wrong. Please help!
Thanks, Slojon

After upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion on one of our home computers and having no difficulty with printer access for months, after a glitch involving loss of power, suddenly "On hold (authentication required)" started showing up.
When I deleted the printer and then tried to add it back using the default listing for the printer I got the message "Unable to download the software from the server at this time." I felt I was going backwards. The whole situation was maddening for a couple of days.
Details:
Older G5 Desktop Mac running OSX Snow Leopard wth an HP Color LaserJet 2550 attached via USB.
Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro running OSX Mountain Lion.
Airport WiFi network.
This is really two problems: how to add a printer successfully and how to print without authentication.
How to add a printer
Do not use the default listing for adding the printer that shows up in the popup menu, instead use the generic "Add printer" command, then select the printer and printer type from the secondary menu that comes up. This worked fine for me.
How to avoid the "Authentication required"
Software update on both machines.
Reset printing system (Option & minus "-" key) on both systems.
Add the printer back to the server (older G5 Mac in my case) system.
Ensure that both the printer sharing is selected for the printer and …
… that printer sharing is turned on globally in the Sharing System Preferences
Add the printer back to the client system
I was also able to work this through the CUPS system described in other posts (http://localhost:631) but I always prefer to let Mac OSX handle the UNIX details since I have greater confidence I won't be inadvertantly messing something up.

Authentication required on Windows Printer

When I set up my windows network printer under leopard, it asked me to type in my user name and password to connect to the server with the windows print spooler. ok, done.
So now, when I print to that shared printer, the documents get hung up in the queue and give the document status as "On Hold (Authentication required)." If I click the document and then click RESUME, it asks me to "Enter your name and password to print to the printer." I do, but the documents do not print and the status in the queue doesn't change.
Anyone know what I'm not doing?
Clay

uhoh... just found the solution in another thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5852413
I have the solution for you.
Prerequisites: 1. your windows PC with the printer on it needs to have an admin account on it with a single word no spaces. (preferred unix) 2. your printer sharename is a single word (ie. Canon iP4300 should be just ip4300).
Now follow the below steps:
1. Open your system preferences > Open Print & Fax
2. Click + to add a printer.
3. Right-click on the Toolbar at the top and select "Customise Toolbar..."
4. Drag the "Advanced" icon to the toolbar & select "Done"
5. Click the "Advanced" icon
6. Select "Windows" from the "Type:" drop down menu
7. In the "URL:" textbox type the location of your windows printer in the format below (use the format depending on whether your Windows PC sharing the Printer has a password or not):
smb://username:password@ipaddress/printersharename <- Print Server does have a password
smb://username@ipaddress/printersharename <- Print Server does NOT have a password
(eg. smb://[email protected]/ip4300)
8. Enter a Name and Location. (Human Friendly Names with Spaces are allowed)
9. Now select the appropriate driver and then click "Add"
10. Try printing somthing and then it will ask for a username and password of your windows server. Type and username and then the password and then add this to your keychain and click OK.
And there you go. Printing in OSX 10.5

When trying to print I get error code 30892 and authentication required how do I fix this?

I am new to my Mac and am having trouble printing. I keep getting error code -30892 and authentication required and it can't print. I have sharing features open on both my PC and my Mac. Any suggestions?

Doesn't sound like any error number I'm familiar with. What's your set-up? Are you using a print server?

Can't print on shared printer, Alert says "On Hold (authentication required)"

Mac Mini running 10.6.8 can't print using Mac Air running 10.8.5 with HP Laserjet 1022 USB connected. Both computers on same airport network. Both with latest updates and shared printer enabled. Same problem in other direction (Air to mini if printer connected to mini).
This worked fine a few days ago. Whats changed? Anybody?

This might help... I recently upgraded to OS X 10.9.1 and had the same frustrations with "paused for authentication problems. Luckly I just discovered that with the print sharing on in the computer that that has the direct connection with the printer being shared on the network and in this below screenshot, with certain persons selected, even an administrator, it puts a "no access" on the everyone option. In this status I get the "paused for authentication" on the print jobs being submitted from any networked computer. see below
I am taking it that the authentication the neworked computers are looking for is from the computer that is diretly connected to the printer and is sharing that printer to other users.
I've learned when you click the up and down arrow to the right of everyone you get either "no access" or "can print" option.
When the "can print" option is selected all the individual persons added gets droped, but at least now I can do a network print jobs from the other network connected computers and not get the "paused for authenication" problem. Hope this helps anyone with "paused for authent" problems ET

Shared Printer On Hold: Authentication Required

There have been many discussions on the Apple Support Communities about this, most of which talk about how to reset the keychain password for a printer shared from a Windows PC. Many have, in fact, been archived. It looks as if this problem has been around for a LOONG time...
This is not my problem. I could print over my all-Mac network to my HP LaserJet 1200 printer via a HP JetDirect Printer Server fine. Until I upgraded to a MacPro running OS X 10.8. And then, suddenly I couldn't. No AppleTalk available and no success accessing the IP settings for the JetDirect print server.
I finally achieved a work-around (of sorts). If I set up the printer as a shared printer on the G5 tower I still have on the network I coud print form the MacPro. It was very slow. But it worked. Until a couple of weeks ago. All of a sudden the printer queue needs 'Authentication'.
The error log told me:
E [18/Jul/2013:07:54:32 +1200] Unknown directive BrowseOrder on line 22 of /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
E [18/Jul/2013:07:54:32 +1200] Unknown directive BrowseAllow on line 23 of /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
I've looked over these forums. I've tried various things. I've been through Keychain Access. I've stopped and reset print queue. And, guided my this forum, the last great masterstroke: "Reset Printing System" which wiped all printers on the MacPro completely. When I go to set up a new printer the MacPr can see the shared printers on the G5. But because it 'can't downoad software form internet' it can't set up a printer.
Where to from here?

Cannot print PDF's with Kyocera

I am using a Kyocera 5050 in my office installed as a network printer that utilizes local authorization codes for each employee in order to track printing usage. Normally, a print job will be sent to the printer and a box will pop up asking for credentials (the username and password for the printer). The printer will authorize the print job and then print it. I have one employee which cannot print PDF's from Acrobat. I tried updating the printer driver, Acrobat is up to date, and he has no trouble printing from any other application. Tried installing Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to see if it was just Acrobat, and Reader will not allow printing either. The computer will send the print job to the printer, but the printer rejects the credentials and will not print the job. No other employee has issues so it isn't a network issue, and his credentials work in any other software outside of Adobe products so I'm assuming that the issue lies within Adobe's software. Any ideas?

I we understand your posting, only one user out of a group of users printing to a particular printer requiring credential presentation is having problems printing from Acrobat. How do you conclude that “the issue lies within Adobe's software” given that the other users don't have this problem?
The particular printer, the Kyocera 5050, supports a number of page description languages, including their own emulations of PostScript and PCL. What page description language is being used? Are all the users setup with the same driver using the same page description language and the exact same driver settings?
Acrobat and Reader generate their own PostScript, bypassing the driver for that function. Drivers that attempt to put up their own dialogs (such as requesting credentials) and then try to insert commands into the PostScript stream must do so very carefully per conventions established by Microsoft and Adobe. If such commands (such as a pre-job authentication stream) are not properly inserted, then they might be put into the job in the wrong place or go missing altogether.
I would recommend checking the driver for the user experiencing the problems, making sure it is the exact same version and having all the same settings as those for users not having problems.

Printing PDF forms to an impact printer

Greetings,
I hope I've found the correct forum for this question.
We are having difficulty printing PDF forms to an impact printer. We are required by regulations to print to multi-part forms from our GTS landscape, which is going live soon. Since Adobe is the direction SAP is headed with forms, we have been utilizing ADS. However, the need for impact printing has presented a problem. Has anyone utilized PDF printing to an impact printer? I'll list some details in case it will help.
Printer: Lexmark Forms Printer 2590
Backend Print Solution: HP Output Server on AIX
SAP GTS: NetWeaver 7.0 SP17 w/ SLL-LEG 720 SP7
Our printer has printer languages of Epson Emulation and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). Neither of these are included in the standard device types for PDF as specified in OSS Note 685571. I do not see an appropriate XDC file to copy and modify.
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a resolution?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Wesley Tollett

the PortName should be changed accordingly.
if you are using printer port , commonly lpt1, you should change it to lpt1
ur command line could work , i think
i've tried it locally in my machine, it works fine.
