How can I print a document in RHEL and have it held at the printer until is is released by a passcode entered into the printer?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

This is the work flow that we would like to achieve:

  1. The user prints a document from their computer.
  2. The document is sent to the printer, but not printed.
  3. The user walks to the printer and enters a passcode to unlock the document for printing.
  4. The printer prints the document after the passcode is entered into the printer.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
  • Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)
