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.

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.

On Hold (Authentication Required)

Hi All,
I'm having an issue with my clients about printing, everytime they submit a print job to any printer installed on a Windows Server 2008 print server the job will be put on hold in the job queue.
On Hold (Authentication Required)
When you click on "Resume" on the toolbar it ask the user for their credentials. Problem is, this is not save on the client's keychain.
But when you change the name from "Doe,John" to it's login name "jdoe", it logs in just fine.
I guess my questions are:
     1. How or What do I do so when the window above popup, client user just need to check the "Remember this password in my keychain" and then click OK button and then credentials will be saved in the keychain.
     2. How or What do I need to change that when the window above popup, it'll say "jdoe" instead of "Doe,John".
     3. Is there a command that I can type on the Mac OS Server Terminal or a setting I can change on the server that will save this problem of mine.
We have 230 Mac Clients and their's 30 more coming, there must be a way to do it on the terminal or on the server so it affects all the Mac clients that's in the domain.
Additional Info:
     User is authenticated thru Active Directory, Users are being managed thru Open Directory.
     Active Directory is Windows 2008 64bit, Mac OS X Server 10.6.8
     Print Server is Windows 2008
Your Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not a problem at all
Alright, after trying both commands I still get this lovely bit in my console for cups.
I [25/Mar/2008:11:24:00 -0700] [Job 57] Authenticated by "".
Each command generated a line:
I [25/Mar/2008:11:23:12 -0700] New printer "printer" added by "jimmyeatapple".
I [25/Mar/2008:11:26:15 -0700] Printer "printer" modified by "jimmyeatapple".
The printer "printer" it is referencing here, is that in my print list (because I don't see it)? Is it the default schematic for a new printer? Should I add a new printer after having run these commands?

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?

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

On Hold - Authentication Error - Printing in OS X Lion

Hi all,
I am trying to print to a shared windows printer and keep getting an 'awaiting authentication error', with the print job pausing.
I shared my printer successful with a PC running vista (to which the printer is attached) but since upgrading to Lion, I am no longer able to print. When a job is sent to the printer, it processes and then a pause button appears on the printer icon, with the message 'On hold authentication required'. When I click resume, I get a pop up which asks me to enter a login and password. This information is my username and password for my login to Windows. I 'Connect as – Registered User'. When I click enter, the system thinks for a moment and the job then goes back on hold with the 'On hold authentication required'.
I have tried removing and reinstalling the printers, using different printers (connected to the same Windows PC), changing settings in CUPS, all for no result. This has only happened since I upgraded to Lion. Snow Leopard gave me no printer problems at all.
For the record, I have a 2011 Macbook Pro i5 13" with 4Gb of ram. I am printing to a Windows PC running Windows Vista over a wireless network (the Windows PC is connected via ethernet to the router). I am (trying to ) printing to an HP LaserJet 1006 and/or HP Photosmart C5280.
Anyone got any answers, I have done a search and others have the same problem, however, no offered solution seems to work.

Thank you very much! It works!

I solved my problem. I can print again. I've found an other thread(https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3193344) where they suggested looking in the keychain (just open the 'Keychain acces' application).
So what I've done:
I removed all references in the keychain to the windows computer or printer. (I guess removing one too many won't do any harm. If the username/password is needed again, you'll be asked for it).
I removed my printer and reinstalled it
In CUPS management (http://localhost:631), I changed the DPI explicitly to 300x300 instead of default (see manage printers, default options)
And that was it. I printed, was asked for my windows credentials one more time. I entered them and all is fine now. Let's hope it stays that way.
I hope this can solve your problem as well.

Printing: Stuck on 'Hold for authentication'

Hello. Im try to print from my mac mini through a windows 7 pc. I haven't ever gotten this to work. I can see the printer by choosing 'guest' when logging into the print server. I don't know what my username and password would be. When I save the printer and go to print something a the print status window comes up and says "Hold for authentication". I tried clearing keychains related to the print in keychain access. Anyone know of a soulution?

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access to search for the name of the shared printer. Double-click one of the items and check the box marked Show password in the inspector window. You'll be prompted for your keychain password to confirm. Make a note of the user name and password. Then delete every "Network Password" item in the search results. Quit Keychain Access.
The next time you send a job to the printer, you'll be prompted for the user name and password. Enter the information you noted earlier and check the box to save it in the Keychain.

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?

Unable to print to Win Server2008 R2 queue from Lion10.7.2, printer status gets paused or asks username and password for printer

Hi Everyone,
I have set up a print queue for HP CP5225dn on Win Server2008 R2 on a shared domain . When I install a print driver on Mac 10.7.2 Lion it sometimes ask for a 'user name & password' for the printer which has not been set by us on the printer.
Second issue I don't know how it reached to the point that I was able to send the job through but as soon as it starts to connect to the printer 'it turns the status to printer paused' or can't connect to the printer.
Printer works well on 'Bonjour' printing so I don't have any doubts on the printer driver. But HP doesn't have the drivers for CP5225dn for Lion 10.7.2.
I have to configure the printer via the queue. Please advise any workarounds.
Thanks

Print Status On AR Invoice

Hi All,
I need to create a UDF that will display the documents print status. I have created the UDF and now I need to create a query that will look at the document number and then the print status and based on that return a yes or no value in my UDF for printed or not printed. Problem I have here is that I don't know how to refresh this field regularly as you will only look at the print status once the document has already been added to the system therefor when you go back to the document nothing is really refreshing.
Could somebody please explain to me how I could get this to work and also what query can achieve this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Verburgt Quinn,
You could create a query like this and set it to refresh based on Document Number field.
SELECT T0.[Printed] FROM OPCH T0 Where T0.DocNum=$ OPCH.DocNum
This query is for A/P Invoice and change the table to the required one.

System status as per our requirement

Dear Experts ,
Is there option in SAP to use system status as per our requirement.
For Ex : system should not allow to do CNF after TECO etc etc
Please anybody put a light on this matter
Regards
Keerthan Kumar

Keerthan Kumar,
It’s not recommended to change standard system status set up as this can have influence on different SAP modules…
But coming back to your original question your request could be realized by calling t-code BS22
Where for system status I0045 – TECO you set business transaction RMVR – ‘Confirm transaction’ as forbidden. Please see attached print screen.
Then when making time confirmation system will display following error message: System status TECO is active, Message no. BS013

How to get the print status

Hi all
After the output is displayed with ALV ,I have the following requirement
A status field will be found at the end of the row and will reflect the current status of the print documents. After printing occurs, the screen should refresh and processing status reflected to show post-print status. The user will then be able to see what documents printed immediately. Any documents that did not successfully print will need to be reprinted through the .PDF files stored in the shared directory.
I am unable to proceed further
Pointers would be helpful
Thanks in advance
Regards
Nikhil

Nikhil,
Try going through this table TSP02L.It may give you some lead.
As well as go to DD02T table and give as spool in DDTEXT field so that you will be able to see all the spool related tables.
