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.
