  3. Edit <Program Files(x86)>\EveryonePrint\eop.xml  in an editor such as Notepad
  4. Insert <loginhidepassword>true</loginhidepassword> anywhere between <settings> and </settings> similar to below:
     
    &lt;settings&gt;<strong>&lt;loginhidepassword&gt;true&lt;/loginhidepassword&gt;</strong>&lt;debugkeepfiles&gt;true&lt;/debugkeepfiles&gt;&lt;classid&gt;X+qYvgOs268Qs9uoCazcvhSn0awRpN6uA+OXphatrbMXp6rdCajf22fi298TrdLYZ6vbsxSv2NoWqancE7Pa2xXa298Q27izFa2o3RXb3KZ0&lt;/classid&gt;
