Document in queue with 'Waiting to print' then doesn't log says result is okay but with 0 pages - Canon imageRUNNER 8500 Copier question. The problem is the. The measurement comes from how much a ream of paper of a particular size weighs. Paper is weighed in stacks of 500 sheets, and the resulting weight in pounds is the weight designation for that paper. If 500 sheets of text weight paper weighs 60 pounds, the paper is called '60# text.'
Today I tried to get printing to work from my mac (running Yosemite) to the printers here at work. I get the same error- lpadmin: Unknown argument 'auth-info-required=username,password'.here is all of the command and output:Last login: Thu Nov 24 10:32:26 on consoleGeorges-MBP: evans$ lpstat -ssystem default destination: EvansHomePrinterdevice for EvansHomePrinter: smb://daddy/Evans%20Home%20PrinterGeorges-MBP: evans$ sudo lpadmin -p EvansHomePrinter -o auth-info-required=username,passwordPassword:lpadmin: Unknown argument “auth-info-required=username,password”.Georges-MBP: evans$. I think I answered my own question. But wanted to share my issue and how I solved it if anyone else runs into the same problem.I am using an iMac purchased in 2016 running El Capitan and purchased a wifi HP Envy 5660 printer.
I installed the printer on my wifi network and the HP utility/drivers on my iMac. Was able to see/install the printer fine, scanned a picture, even printed a test page from the HP utility program. However, when I went to print from Word (or any other application) a dialogue box prompting me to input a user name and password. The user name field was pre-populated with “guest”.
I have no idea what profile this was looking for, so I simply typed in the password for the user account that I was logged into my Mac with (has Administrator rights). I didn’t get an error, but in the print queue, there was a “Hold for Authentication” notification the job just sat there. I pressed the “refresh” button, and the dialogue box prompting for a user name and password popped up again. This time, I used the user name (and password) for the profile I was logged in under.
No error message, but the job hung up again with the “Hold for Authentication” notification.Then I found this thread. I used lpstat –s to identify the printer and used the following command to set it to the admin user/password:sudo lpadmin -p (printername) -o auth-info-required=username,passwordI tried to print again, this time using my mac login/pwd, but same thing – Hold for Authentication.So, I uninstalled my printer and reinstalled it. Instead of setting it up as an AirPrint (Bonjour) printer, I set it up as an IP-based printer. I didn’t use the Generic Post Script driver (which was the default), but selected the HP driver. Typed in the sudo command from above, and unfortunately same result – dialogue box where no combination of user name and password seems to work. So I tired one more thing I had read one another sudo thread that you can set the “authorization” switch to “none” instead of “username/password”. Setting to “username/password” refers you to the login credentials that you’re are logging in with, setting it to “none” should theoretically not require any security validation, right?
Well, it worked! Here’s the command I used:sudo lpadmin -p (printername) -o auth-info-required=noneOne more time install printer as IP, use manufacturer driver, use sudo command, but set auth-info-required=none.This appears to be a security bug with El Capitan in a large networked situation (school or office) it makes sense. But when you are only going to use the computer at home and have a secure wifi network, it seems like overkill. I hope Apple/HP figure this one out in future updates! For me the problem was on the side of the Win10 PC.There is a long and a short username. My long Microsoft username is my email address e.g.first name.lastname@yahoo.com.This username together with the password works when initially installing the printer on Mac OSX.When printing, I got into the 'Hold' state and then by reloading was asked to put in my user credentials.
So, I repeated this and the steps detailed above.Nothing changed.I then went on the Windows 10 PC into the command prompt (Start Menu, type 'cmd').Then on the command prompt type:echo%username%And your username will be returned. In my case this is a shortened version of the long email address e.g.
Firstna - not very intuitive.Then on my Mac when reloading the print job, I just replace the long username with the short username and everything works.
