Many of the printers in the college are secured with a user code, and if the user code is not entered correctly on the computer that is sending a print job, the print job will not complete.  Locked print allows jobs to be sent securely to the printer and held there until you actually arrive at the printer to pick them up.  

Steps:
1.

In the Windows 10 search box, type in 'Control Panel' and click on the Control Panel app.
