To use popup authentication, the client software must be installed and running on the unauthenticated laptops.
Step 2: Install/run the User Client software on laptops On Windows networks, you might need to enable the guest account on the domain/system so users running the “Home” editions of Windows can print to these queues. You can make use of a firewall or operating system permissions to ensure that the anonymous users cannot access the “authenticated queues”. Often the simplest way to set up these unauthenticated queues is to configure a separate print server that allows anonymous printing. These queues can point to the same physical printers as your authenticated queues. If you enable authentication only for your unauthenticated laptops, you must configure a second set of unauthenticated print queues. For more information, read Handling partially authenticated networks. Step 1: Decide whether to enable popup authentication on all printer queuesįirst decide whether to enable authentication for all queues, or only the queues accessed by unauthenticated laptop systems. Having chosen popup authentication to authenticate your laptop users, you should review Popup authentication for a detailed explanation of the feature. Option 1: Popup authentication for unauthenticated laptops It introduces the important concepts required to understanding print authentication. This section provides a step-by-step guide to configuring these authentication options.īefore continuing it is highly recommended to read the introduction to print authentication (see Print authentication).
For more details, see Mobility Print.Īlternatively, PaperCut NG/MF also addresses this problem by providing alternate print authentication options. Mobility Print offers a solution for this problem by allowing users with unauthenticated laptops to print. For example, on Windows networks, the jobs might list as guest. However, if the systems haven’t authenticated with the network, then user credentials are not provided with the print job (or worse, their personal laptop username is associated with the job). They also want to allocate/charge printing from these unauthenticated users to the correct person. Schools and colleges commonly allow students to use their personal laptops for printing to campus printers. PRODUCTS FEATURED Handling unauthenticated (non-domain) laptops
