Hello alex,

the print monitor only asks for authorisation when attempting to change the printer queue state (accept jobs / stop / start printer).
User ID and password are needed to change the printer state in the CUPS printing system. Depending on your Linux distribution this is not necessarily the same ID and password as for the user but sometimes a special CUPS password.

Is printing the test page still possible or is the printer stopped (as shown in the print monitor)? Is any other error message shown?
