What stack are you using? Asp.net? Winforms? WPF? This is some helpful info. I asked my magic 8 ball and it asked me to please try again. If you can let us know i might be able to throw a sample together but in the time being what you would have to do is the following. 1) Have button or some trigger to send the desired file to printer 2) Have form popup asking for credentials 3) If credentials are good then send the file to the printer silently, i gave sample of how to do this with PDF here: http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/497800/CodeplusForplusPrintingplusMultipleplusPDFplusFile#answer1

You can do this if you setup a Windows network correctly, this will allow you to limit the printers that people can print to etc. Alternatively if I understand you correctly, you wish to to write a handler for windows printing and when the user tries to print you want to ask for a username and password? ( This option is fairly difficult and requires manipulating Windows ) I certainly don't have any code you can have as that is not what this site is about, you haven't even provided anything that you have tried.
