How to change your password
If you change your Passport York password you will also need to update your saved password on your Mac in order to be able to print. If you don't do this you will get a "Hold for Authentication" error.
To update your password do a spotlight search for "Keychain Access" and open Keychain Access.
In Keychain Access, under "Category" open "Passwords"
Find the name of the printer you have set up and double click on it to open the printer properties.
Ensure the "Attributes" tab is open then click on the "Show password" check box. You will be required to enter your mac keychain password.
Replace your old password with your current password in the "Show password" field and then click on "Save Changes"
You will now be able to print using your new password.
