You have a desktop computer running Windows and this machine is connected to a printer with a USB cable. It is a simple (classic) printer that is not web-enabled, meaning it cannot connect to the Internet directly. You also own a Macbook and you would like to send print jobs from the Mac to your Windows connected printer. Is that even possible?
The symptom was that even after authenticating with the local admin account (which is a Microsoft.com account, with my e-mail address/password) I would continually be prompted for the login/the local print status in Mojave would yield 'Hold for Authentication'.

I understand that you are trying to use an HP ENVY 5544 All-in-One Printer with a Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan computer and you are being prompted to enter a username, which is pre-filled with 'guest', and a password. Followed by an 'Held for Authentication' message in the queue. Printer job 'On hold (authentication required)'. If MAC authentication fails, the access point waits for the client device to attempt EAP authentication. See the 'Assigning Authentication Types to an SSID' section for instructions on setting up this combination of authentications. Countermeasure tkip hold-time seconds.
Hold For Authentication Printer Mac Papercut
If your Windows computer and Macbook are connected to the same home network, you can directly print documents from your Mac to the shared printer. You do however need to configure a few things so your Mac can talk to the shared Windows printer. Here’s how:
Configure your Windows PC
- Go to your Windows computer and under Control Panel, open Devices and Printers. Right-click the Printer icon you wish to share and choose Printer Properties.
- In the Printer Properties window, switch to the sharing tab and check the option “Share this Printer.” Also make a note of the shared printer name.
- Finally, open the command prompt in Windows (type cmd at the Run prompt) and enter the command “ipconfig /all” – look for the Hostname entry to know your computer’s host name.
Configure your Mac
- On our Mac, go to System Preferences and open Printers & Scanners.
- Click the little + button to add a new printer, then switch to the Windows tab and choose your workgroup. It should be same as your Windows PC host name.
- Next choose the shared printer from the list and then under Use, select “Select Software” and choose your printer model from the list.
- Click the Add button to access that printer from your Mac.
Go to System Preferences – Sharing and turn on Printer Sharing. Make sure that “Everyone” “Can Print”.
That’s it. Macos high sierra network accounts for home use multiple computers. Open any app on our Mac that supports printing – like Text Edit or Pages – and press the Cmd + P shortcut to open the system print dialog, choose the Windows printer from the list of available printer and start the print job.
Hold for Authentication Error
Sometimes you may notice that you print jobs are stuck in the queue with the message On hold (authentication required). You’ve then to click the job in the print spool, enter your Windows username and password and only then is the document sent to the shared Windows printer.
You are prompted for the Windows user name each time even after you have ticked the check box that says “Allow this information to be saved in Keychain on the Mac so it won’t have to be entered in the future.” To get around this problem, remove the shared Windows printer from your list of Printer on Mac and re-add it using the steps above.
The other option is that you open your Keychain access on the Mac, search for the printer name and then delete the entry. Send a print job again, enter guest/guest as your network credentials and save them in Keychain.
Alternatively, go to Printers & Scanners, control-click the printer name and choose Reset Printing System. That may do the trick as well.

This is good info. It's the way I've always done it. Gom player for mac. However, what I've never figured out is how can I edit all of this information once a printer has been set up? Say I want to change the printer share name (on the Mac side) without having to 'add' a new printer. I can't see how it can be done. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
Thanks.
You can edit this stuff later via CUPS:
http://127.0.0.1:631 in your favorite web browser.
Select 'Manage Printers' then 'Modify Printer' for whichever one you want to change the settings on.
The only (big) problem with this hint is you have no choice but to put your credentials in clear text - this is probably not an acceptable solution in a real Windows domain environment.

Have you tried using CUPS through your internet browser? The address is 127.0.0.1:631. Choose 'Manage Printers', then 'Modify Printer' under the printer you want to change (if you are asked to log in, use your OS X admin login).
CUPS should take you through all of the printer's settings and allow you to change any of them.

Our sysadmins require periodic network password changes that break the Windows printers on my Mac. I have my Windows network passwords saved in the cups config file at /etc/cups/printers.conf as 'smb://username:password@Domain/Path/To/Printer'. The easiest way to change passwords I've found is to do this from Terminal.app: You could also change the printer name via the same method. I haven't seen any other method of changing the Windows network password for CUPS printing. The 'http://127.0.0.1:631' method doesn't seem to allow this.
sudo vi /etc/printers.conf
and change the password, then sudo SystemStarter restart PrintingServices
to restart CUPS.I use Bonjour for Windows found at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html. I started using it to print to a Mac but when I had to install a laster printer on a Windows machine, it was very easy to connect a Mac to the printer on the Windows machine. Like the rest of bonjour, it was very easy!
S Barman -- Thanks for mentioning Bonjour. I've spent countless hours trying to print from Windows to my Mac using SMB, and was not aware of Bonjour for Windows until I saw your post. I gave it a shot, and it instantly just worked!
Please be aware that doing this stores your password in clear text in the CUPS config file, and your password is sent in clear text over the network every time you print a file.
Depending on how paranoid you are, you might want to create a separate account used just for printing on the windows machine.

I can confirm this works. I'd been trying (unsuccessfully) to do this for months. I'd just about given up, but I stumbled across a page that had similar instructions and it worked superbly.

I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.4.10.
After I try the solution suggested here I still get the NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY error. Then when I check the data in CUPS I find the user:password part of the string missing. All I see is the computer/printer part. Then when I try to correct the string in CUPS and check it again, the user:password part is still missing.
Any suggestions about what I am not doing right?
Thanks,
Roger

The trick to get this to work is to set the Workgroup name for the Workgroup or Domain that your printer is in. You can set that name in one of two places, depending if you have 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.4 (Tiger) and below.
For 10.4 and below, you will need to open Directory Access in your Utilities folder. For 10.5, they have moved that option. You'll want to open the Network panel in System Preferences, click on your active network device (Ethernet or Airport) and click Advanced. Once there, select the WINS tab and enter your Workgroup or Domain.
This resolves the authentication issue because when you try to print and are challenged with the user authentication dialog, the server on the other end is *expecting* the format 'domainusername' -- but dialog box is not explicit in telling you to use that format. Having completed the Workgroup/Domain field from the above paragraph resolves this often-missed step, so simply entering your username will now work.
Good luck!

Be sure to see this hint too on making the WINS info stick. There's a bug in the location manager that won't allow edits to the Automatic location. A quick duplication and renaming fixes the issue.

Go to the windows machine and type Ctrl Alt Del simultaneously. This will start Windows task manager. Download ms office 2011 for mac. Click on the user tab you will see something like this RAPHAELmichel. In this case michel is the user name and raphael is the machine name. Enter the correct user name and machine name and all will work perfectly!

Is ANY BODY AT APPLE LISTENING?
Why cant my wife's MAC print to a printer shared by my Windows XP PC right out of the (MAC)box. SOP? I think the problem here is failure to communicate. Apple is too caught up in their 'DOES IT LOOK COOL' mind-set to make sure 'it' works well with other products. I hate to say it but the simplest solution to this(MAC's) problem is to buy another printer for your MAC . its seems APPLE did not learn how to 'SHARE' in kindergarden. Every time I touch the'MAC' $3,000+ its a nightmare. My advice sell it(MAC) and buy a PC . for the money you will get 4 times the machine and it will print to shared printers . dang how about that. Some times ugly is beautiful. Before all you APPLE gurus blow a circuit, solve the problem . anyone . APPLE you out there?
