Printer Access Code - Where to use it

[albinary10]

Hello everybody,

My OS is Linux Mint 19.

I have configured a network printer.


I have an access code which I have to use in order to be able to print but I do not find any place in the properties where I can input.

Can you please help with this?

The access code is the Network Key on the bottom of your modem/router.

Click on the Network Manager icon on the panel and select Network Connections. Click on the entry for your modem/router to highlight it. Click on the sun icon on the bottom of the screen to edit the connection. Click on the Wi-Fi Security tab and select the Security Level (probably WPA & WPA2 Personal). Enter the password (access code). Save before exit.

Check that firewall is OFF. If you want to enable the firewall, you will have to write a rule for your connection.

Hi,

I do not understand your answer.

This is not a wireless connection access code. This is a printer access code.

In Windows, for example, in the printer properties I have the option to enter this password code.

For the printer to function via Wi-Fi, a connection has to be established between the printer and your modem/router and that is what I described. They have to be introduced to each other.

I doubt that it works differently in Windows. If you could provide an image of the printer setup in Windows that may be helpful.

I have never heard of a printer access code.

Looks like you will need to

apt install cups-client

and then set

lpoptions -l Ricoh-Aficio-MP2550 -o UserCode=xxx

Hi,

This is what I am talking about. In Windows:

lpoptions -l Ricoh-Aficio-MP2550 -o UserCode=xxx

Note, before it complicates the thread, according to the screenshot in the original post, that name needs an additional hyphen: lpoptions -l Ricoh-Aficio-MP-2550 -o UserCode=xxx.

Thank you very much. This is what I was using for.

Anyway had to use -p instead of -l.

$ lpoptions -p Ricoh-Aficio-MP2550 -o UserCode= 654165


Now the Print is successfully sent to the Printer. I was getting error before. Now getting: You do not have privilege to use this funciton. Anyway this might be something different.

Thanks again
