I would like to add that there should be warnings coming with these printers that what you do initially, especially locking the UI is non reversable. Most people when getting a new printer in a smaller business without dedicated IT personel will try to get the thing up and working as soon as possible and in this case do something that there's no way out of.  Maybe there are such warnings and the guy/gal who set it up didn't read it all? How shocking and unusual would that be

Hi there,

I understand.

The choices there are:
Asking for a password by default for users already setup. Or removing the sign in option when a user isn't set. Right?

I am not sure what user interaction studies have shown, but I think that the option is initially meant for support technicians onsite to do servicing with specialized privileges.

Thank you
