I use a printer on a Windows server configured as
smb://server.domain/printer
as it requires authentication after the first use I had to give my credentials which where then stored in the key chain.
So far so good.
I then had to change my password on the server side. Now OS X refuses to print telling me "Hold for Authentication"
With lpq
I see:

I deleted the stored password in Key Chain, deleted the job and tried again but I still don't get the dialog asking me for the new password.
Any idea on how to force a new authentication?

Press the refresh icon to the far right of the print job. This should bring up the dialogue for your credentials, supply these and then make sure to check the box to save them to your keychain and then it will pass this through for any subsequent print jobs.
