- Check the Protected checkbox beside a specific printer to require user authentication
prior to use for all remote users.
- Uncheck the Protected checkbox beside a specific printer to not require user
authentication prior to use.
Note: In some cases, iOS devices will cache the user name and password of the first user
authentication login so that a remote user only needs to login that first time.
