Lpadmin script and AD prompt for credentials not showing

I have a working post install script thar installs two SMB printers. The prompt asking for credentials does not automatically appear. Instead i have to send output to the printer which are then paused waiting for authentication. A refresh/retry of the print queue forces the prompt to appear so the student can entrr there Active Directory credentials. Apart from this the script works well.

Is there a specific command that can be added which brings the promt window up without the refresh of the print queue?

In your lpadmin command add this at the end:

-o auth-info-required=username,password
