I realize the last post here was almost two years ago, but I am new to
Ubuntu, having recently wiped my drive to completely remove Windows from
my laptop.
Funny enough, my reason for getting rid of Windows was that they kept
re-installing an update that interfered with printing to a shared
printer. Now, with Ubuntu, I'm happy to be done with Windows and vow
never to go back...but I'm still having problems printing.
I found this post because I'm experiencing these exact symptoms, but the
suggested solution does not work. Is anybody working on a fix? Is
there a work-around?
I have a very stable Windows 7 desktop that is always on...connected via
USB to an old HP Laserjet IV Plus that is a workhorse. The printer
works great locally, and until a few weeks ago it was working flawlessly
as a shared printer, as well.
When I installed Ubuntu and ran into this problem, I tried every
suggestion I was able to find on the web, but nothing works. I continue
to see this same behavior with the "credentials required" error.
Please help

Title:
ubuntu 19.10 / print bug : requires authentication
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hello,
I have 2 computers(one laptop and one desktop) which have a dual boot
Windows / Ubuntu. My printer (Xerox WorkCentre 6015B) is plugged on a
USB port from my modem on which my computers are connected using Wi-
Fi.
Since the upgrade of Ubuntu to version 19.10, I cannot print. On both
computers I get the same message : [The printer] requires
authentication / credentials required in order to print.
With Ubuntu 19.04, I had absolutely no problem. I tried with a live
USB with Ubuntu 19.04, there is no problem, the printer works. With a
Ubuntu live 19.10, it doesn't work.
If I plug the printer directly on a USB port on my computer, I get the
same error message : [The printer] requires authentication /
credentials required in order to print.
It's the same behaviour on both computers, no I guess it must be a
bug. Anyway I don't know which authentication I could do, with which
ID and password ?
Thank you very much
