Adobe Reader DC and Canon Secure Print
When printing a PDF file from Reader DC on a Mac OS X El Capitan system, Reader will completely ignore the printer preference for Secure Printing. Reader does not ask for the user to input a security code when they select "Print" and so their print job is instantly processed and printed. A number of PDF documents being printed have sensitive information in them and so we can not allow them to be printed instantly. We have the default preference for the Canon copier set to Secure Print and the setting works correctly from any other program. We can get Reader DC to use the Secure Print by selecting "Printer..." in the print dialogue menu and then selecting "Print" in the new window. Going this route asks for the user to input a security code and name the document so that the print job is held on the copier until the user goes through the steps to print the document with them in front of the copier. From this point on, as long as the user stays logged in, they are able to print using Secure Print. If the user logs out they have to go through the steps of selecting "Printer..." and so forth in order to securely print. This is a major issue as most of the users never remember these steps and so are printing the sensitive documents directly. How do we get Reader DC to use the Mac print subsystem in order to utilize Secure Print?
