CUPS: Print-Job: Unauthorized
Problem
When looking though the cups error log.
/var/log/cups/error_log
I found the following error messages:
Print-Job: Unauthorized
Resume-Printer: Unauthorized
PID 29644 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd) stopped with status 1!
Resolution
To resolve these errors edit printers.conf file.
vi /etc/cups/printers.conf
Edit the following line:
AuthInfoRequired username,password
Replace the line with instead:
AuthInfoRequired none
Restart the CUPS service.
/etc/init.d/cups restart
service cups restart
The error now should not re appear in the logs.
