howto pass username/password to Kyocera TASKalfa network printer

[franz.pfoertsch.brose]

Hi,

what is the windowsdriver doing?

To ananlyze the printjob do the folloging:
Install the windowsdriver on a local windowsworkstation.
printsomething with this printer, is this working?
yes -> try to print again but do spool to file.
Now look at the beginning of the spooljobs
  are any PJL commands around?
  is there a user/password
so you have any change to fix that!

two years ago I had done something similar because of "secure print".
I used the PPD from the TASKalfa and I had  modified a part of the cups-server http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3100.
And it worked ...

regards
Franz
