Troubleshooting
Problems with login
Please check if the Windows workgroup HS-WOE is set: System settings → Network → more options → WINS → Workgroup
If the print dialogue shows „Waiting for authentication“ and nothing else happens, the printer must be set to „Force password entry“. This is most easily done in the terminal with the following commands:
sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd sudo sed -i.bak 's/AuthInfoRequired negotiate/AuthInfoRequired username,password/g' /etc/cups/printers.conf sudo launchctl start org.cups.cupsd
