How to configure email sending with Gmail

 

Google no longer supports legacy (Username and Password) authentication when sending emails with Gmail as of 6/1/2022.

 

To configure email sending with Gmail in the Printer Driver, users first need to generate an App password in their Google account, then set up email sending in the Printer Driver.

 

 

How to generate an App password

 

In Google Account, please navigate to the Security tab, and under the “Signing in to Google” section, click on App passwords.

NOTE: To generate an App password, users have to enable 2-Step Verification in their Google account.

 

 

On the next window, please select “Mail” from the Select app dropdown list and the “Other (Custom name)” option from the Select Device dropdown list.

 

 

On the next screen, one can enter a name for the app password (for example, Black Ice Printer Driver). Click on the Generate button to create an app password.

 

 

The generated app password can be seen in the yellow field on the appearing pop-up window.
