Hi,
I have a Canon MP520 connected to a Windows Vista desktop. The printer is shared for network printing. I am printing to it with my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop over a wireless network using TurboPrint 2.12-2. Each time I print over the network, a dialog pops up and I must enter my root password to print. I am not required to enter my root password if I connect the printer to a usb port on the laptop. Can you tell me what I need to do to keep from having to enter my root password to print over the network?
Thanks,
Frank
Root Password Required To Print
Hello,
when a printer is shared from a Windows computer, it is shared for all users by default. If it is shared only for certain users, a username and password has to be entered when the printer is set up in TurboPrint Control Center.
It may be the case that TurboPrint Monitor comes up when you start a print job and shows that an error has occured (paused print queue) - on some Linux distributions you will have to enter the root password to start the print queue again.
