ENABLE PRINT WITHOUT AUTHENTICATION 

If users will print to a printer using both Pharos Cloud  and non-Pharos Cloud print queues, it is required to allow print without authentication. If print without authentication is restricted, then print jobs from  Pharos Cloud and non-Pharos Cloud on print queues will be rejected by the printer.

2. Set [Print without Authentication] to “Full Color/Black” 

3. Click the OK button to commit the settings
