I am using MacOS Sonoma 14.0 at a Macbook Pro M1 and trying to print to our print server using smb. It worked in Ventura, but now the printer jobs will stay "on hold" with the option to authenticate. When i write my credentials it will still stay "on hold" on printing. It seems that this issue also is not been fixed in MacOSX Sonoma 14.1 Beta3. I know it is a workaround with using IPP, but this protocol is block in the firewall at work for security reason. This means that i have to get printing to work by using smb. I hope Apple will fix this problem in MacOS Sonoma 14.1 Beta4 or in a new MacOS Sonoma 14.1.
Finally Apple released Sonoma 14.1 about 2 days ago.
I installed the update on a mac that has this printer isse and it works now :-) I had to remove the printer and the password for pinter queue stored in Apple Keychain. Then i had to write the smb line for the printer with username@printer-address, choose driver and print a document. Then i had to write my credentials and it worked :-)
Thank you Apple for fixing the issue with printing using SMB in MacOS Sonoma!
