Hp Setup On Osx Asks For Account To Change Default Driver To Print

The user had some problems with printing, basically because it was using a generic print driver to print to our networked printer.

I updated the driver and got all the functionality working with no problems.

If she enters in her domain username and password, it prints fine, but it is asking for it for every print job even when we have ticked remember in keychain.

When it was using Samba it asked for authentication constantly as well.

I also join them to the domain using Likewise instead of the built-in stuff, and for some distros had to add the user to the printer admin local group.

We use mainly the Brother series of printers so I am not sure about the Kyocera brand.

Make sure the DNS settings are correct and you are actually on the domain.

Entering the sending machines Admin user name and pword solved the authentication issue and the computer does ask again.

Our printers are being served by a Windows 2000 server using Appletalk.

Our environment is a school environment with two active directory domains and a print server.

Our macs are a mix of 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10, all of them on the Domain.

Students had problems with printing, they would log in with their AD credentials fine, and when they tried to print it would prompt them for their credentials again.

Not only that, but it would fill in their common name instead of their username which confused them.

So for the students I just added the built in group domain users as having print permissions to that printer on the print server.

After a reboot of the OSX devices they now print without prompting for credentials.

I suspect any group that all the users fit into would work, it just seems OSX has a hard time with the everyone permission.
