Why?

Apple made changes to their print protocol to improve security.

Impact

As of 2/18/22 print queues will pause themselves rather than releasing jobs on affected macOS computers (versions specified in Details).

Action Needed

The printer will need to be removed and re-added with some slight changes to the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) listing. Rather than using smb://printers.wpi.edu/, please use smb://print-p-w01.admin.wpi.edu/
