[MacTUG] OmniPrint - UW wireless printing tutorial

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

OK, so let me get this straight. A user sets up a printer on a secure
network and it is passing their password, which hopefully is not an issue,
and hopefully no one is casually watching them type it in (in clear text).

A month later (or whatever), the user is sitting somewhere off campus and
hits the print command, without thinking too much about password security
-- despite having read Marlon's reasonably worded warning, way back when
they set up the printer. Are going to be passing that password each time
they print?

Am I right that the password is being pushed every time you print, or
'merely' when you make the printer connection initially? If it is getting
pushed each time they print, my concerns over passwords being sent
unencrypted rises exponentially.
