Explanation:
Follow the user printing is a type of print queue management in which users send a job to the print server and the job gets queued to the printers, however for the job to actually get printed the user has to authenticate the job. This is done to reduce unnecessary print outs, a large amount of documents that are printed never get collected. The are many reasons for this...they printed a newer version, they got distracted and forgot, they realized they didn't need it, etc. Without follow-the-user printing, all those documents would have been printed and probably discarded.

Locked printing usually means you need to be an authorized user to print.

I've no idea if there is an appropriate term in Spanish (hence the 3) but this would be my best option

Explanation:
Creo que se trata de una opción que imprime documentos a través de una impresora aleatoria. Es decir, el usuario no elige desde qué impresora saldrán sus documentos. Otras opciones serían: impresión no definida, impresión aleatoria u opción sin selección de impresora.

Yo creo que una cosa no excluye necesariamente a la otra. El caso es que se trataría de una opción de ahorro de tiempo en la que, mediante autorización, un usuario puede acudir a otra impresora de su oficina (incluso distinta planta, departamento, etc.) e imprimir desde ahí su documento que ya se ha almacenado previamente en un servidor al "ordenar" la impresión. Mira, te dejo unos ejemplos más:

Quizá otras opciones que resalten ese concepto como "Impresión a medida", "Impresión a la carta"... No sé si te servirán más.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ana, no estoy segura de que la idea sea esa. He encontrado esta definición en la red: Allows Users to Store Print Jobs and retrieve them from any Eclipse Terminal/MFP device. (Follow the User Printing) Es como si yo pudiese imprimir mis trabajos desde cualquier dispositivo (parece una especie de impresión en nube)
