"Passwords Are Locked" error message when trying to connect Mac to PC printer on same Wifi network I have been following the Apple instructions to connect my iMac 2019 wirelessly to my Canon printer TR2745 which is connected to my Asus desktop 2015. I have already shared that printer wirelessly to my Lenovo laptop with no problems (all 3 computers are on the same Wifi network). But on the Mac, I'm getting stuck on one step during the set up. I can choose the PC Workgroup and Name. Then I am prompted to enter "your user name and password for the print server" (i.e. the Asus computer). When I enter these and click Connect I get a warning "Passwords Are Locked" and a prompt to enter my password again. That gives me a screen called "Choose passwords to fill" .... and I don't know what that means. A couple passworded sites are offered to me, but they seem to be irrelevant to what I need. Can anyone help me with this?

Adding printer with user authentication Hi, I have problem with adding Printer on Mac. I have Konica Minolta printer set up with user authentication (by login and password) accesed via IP address and i can't find any option to add user credintials on Mac site. I have login and password to my account on printer and i have to add it on my Mac. On windows it's done in Printing preferences, but i can't find this option on Mac. Before enabling authentication i had printer added using AirPrint. After enabling authentication printing could be done using printer's public user, but public user is not an option any longer. So problem isn't printer settings nor connection between Mac and printer. Goal is to send document to printing but printing is started only after i authenticate myself on printer. Do anyone know how to set it up properly? Feel free to ask questions if more informations are needed. Mac is working on Monterey 12.0.1 PS. Sorry if it's in wrong category and please move it if it's wrong.
