Lanier MP4054 - LDAP, password policy effect on printer driver

[TJW_SysAdmin]

Hello all,

 

Is there any way to allow a Lanier MP4054 to authenticate via LDAP, while on the Windows client device, configure the printer in a way that allows jobs to be submitted, while authenticating via some mechanism outside of the printer driver?

 

I've configured the MP4054 for LDAP, and it works great, the problem is: Our environment has a 90-day password policy. This means every 90 days, the printer driver's LDAP-associated authentication credentials need to be renewed. My users are less than thrilled.

 

Using simple user codes is not an option. I was hoping the printer driver would query Windows for credentials, and pass on those credentials within the printer driver, without end-user intervention.
