Check the authorization entry for the printer which is asking for passwords.

    Add your user the group lpadmin by doing this.



    sudo usermod -aG lpadmin USERNAME


    Alternatively you can change the group as well, but I wouldn't.



    # Administrator user group...
    SystemGroup lpadmin

      Since you say it's only one printer which is showing this behaviour, the error is likely to be in /etc/cups/printers.conf.



      Check the authorization entry for the printer which is asking for passwords.

              Add your user the group lpadmin by doing this.



              sudo usermod -aG lpadmin USERNAME


              Alternatively you can change the group as well, but I wouldn't.



              # Administrator user group...
              SystemGroup lpadmin
