Can't get printer working

I have CUPS running on a BSD server - I have had no problem connecting various BSD workstations and my own Macbook (OS X 10.4) to the published print queues, but my wife's Macbook (OS X 10.5) will not work. Under the default printers I should be able to click Add but it's grayed out.
Any ideas?

The Add button will only become available once the Print Using menu has selected, or you manually select, a print model/driver. For most BSD queues the Print Using menu should automatically select Generic PostScript. I can only assume her Mac is not able to determine the printer type and this is stopping the Add button from being available. If you manually select Generic PS, does the button become active?

  • Can't get printer to work for my life

    kernel 2.6.25
    printer: HP  laserjet 4
    usb
    CUPS
    Even if printer is on at boot, printer won't work.
    This has happened before, and I can usually get it working after fiddling with it for 10-15 minutes, then it stops working promptly.
    I had it working a few nights ago, now it has stopped again.
    dmesg
    input: Video Bus as /class/input/input6
    usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x0557 pid 0x2006
    usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp
    sdhci: Secure Digital Host Controller Interface driver
    What should the URI for a usb printer be?
    USB is not an option for "Device for PrinterName" in the CUPS web interface
    I can print from vbox on this machine, so this is slightly less urgent.

    There is no hub. The laptop has 2 ports on the front, 2 on the back, with the printer plugged into the back.
    If it matters, this is a parallel printer, with a parallel to usb cable connecting it to the machine.
    Now that we know the usb port number the printer is plugged into, we should be able to figure out the uri.
    EDIT: lsubs shows the same whether printer is on or not.
    An adapter, my mistake.
    I had a parallel printer plugged into a USB port through an adapter for a while, and it exhibited the same behavior. My "solution" was to delete the printer and then recreate in CUPS. Sometimes the interface would reappear and sometimes it wouldn't.
    Dusty started a thread about this a while back, and I was the last one to answer. Maybe you can get a hold of him and see if he had any success.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Printer and not working Wirelessly. Here is a link to the HP Print and Scan Doctor. The HP Print and Scan Doctor will run a check on your system.
    What is the model of printer? I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Printers I would need the model number. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

  • Can't get webutil working on AS

    Hi All,
    As topic, I can't get webutil working on the application server. I can run individual forms or sessions that do not utilise webutil. As soon as I have baseHTMLjinitiator/baseHTMLjpi/baseHTML defined in the bit of the formsweb.cfg that I am using, I get this problem. The webutiljini.htm etc are located in the forms/server directory as they should be.
    I've got it working fine on my 10.1.2 developer suite XP platform.
    I've been trying without success on the App Server. Version 10.1.2 under Win2003
    I have been right through the installation instructions several time trying to see what I have missed.
    I have installed version 1.0.6 of webutil and version 1.8 of jacob.
    I try and run the wu_test_106 form, and all I get is "Applet Started" at the bottom of the browser window, and a blank browser window.
    My URL is
    http://10.64.125.51:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil1

    Hi Tony,
    Form your post it doesn't look like jacob.jar is being loaded. Can you confirm that you have the following files in the <ORACLE_AS>/forms directory:
    java\
       jacob.jar
       frmwebutil.jar
    webutil\
       d2kwut60.dll
       jacob.dllAlso open up your default.env file and check that
    ORACLE_HOME         -- is correct
    FORMS_PATH            -- has the path where wu_test_106.fmx is located
    WEBUTIL_CONFIG      -- is correct (I've experienced what you describe when this path was invalid)
    CLASSPATH             -- contains frmwebutil.jar

  • Can't get wifi working on X201 after installing Win 7 64 bit

    I've just purchased an X201 type 3294 with a 320gb HDD running Windows 7 64bit. Wifi works fine when running from the original HDD. I've pulled the HDD and replaced it with an SSD and installed windows 7 64 bit so I can use the 4gb RAM which came with the computer. I did a fresh install then started trying to install drivers. I started with Wifi first so I could download the rest of the drivers directly to the computer. I can't get wifi working after installing Windows 7 64bitfor some reason. I have the original HDD in an external enclosure so I can still access it.
    I can't figure out what drivers I need, or even what adapter I have on the computer.Lenovo's part look up tells me the adapter is part number 60Y3231, but that information seems to be useless. I've tried most of the drivers on Lenovo's driver page. I've tried just copying the C:/Drivers folder from the original HDD, and just about anything else I can thinkof. 
    Anyone know how I can get the right driver, or if this is even a driver problem? For what it's worth I'm not afraid of having to learn some terminal if I have to but I'm totally unfamiliar with Win 7. I have much more experience with XP, Vista and OSX/some Ubuntu.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and welcome,
    If you have a wired connection you could try installing ThinkVantage System Update.  Run it and it should find all the appropriate drivers and install them for you.
    That FRU seems to be an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200. It's hard to tell from the drivers page which one to use.  Most of the README files include 6200.  My best guess:  http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/g1w218ww_s64.exe

  • I have 2 itunes accounts - one work a/c and one home a/c, but when i sign in at home only my home songs appear even if I sign in my work a/c. I have authorised both computers to show both a/cs. How can I get my work a/c songs to appear at home?

    I have 2 itunes a/cs one at work and one at home. Both computers are authorised for the 2 a/cs, but I can;t get my work a/c songs to show on my home computer, even though I sign in my work a/c, and I can't get my home songs to show up on the  work computer even though I sign in my home a/c.

    Hi,
    You will have to manually copy your music. Get a pen-drive big enough to accommodate all your music. And follow these steps:
    1. Create a new folder on the pen-drive.
    2. Copy the music from your work computer to the folder you just created. It's in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music if you're using a Mac, or in C:\Users\(yourusername)\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music if you're using Windows.
    3. Now on your home computer quit iTunes, and copy your music from work to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media.
    4. Start iTunes. It will automatically start to process the files and move them to the appropriate place.
    Repeat these steps with your music from home on your work computer. Also I suggest to use only one iTunes account if possible.
    Hope it helps
    Regards,
    Gábor

  • How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

    I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
    But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
    I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
    system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
    But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
    - The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
    - The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
    - When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
    In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
    LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
    We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
    How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

    Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
    We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
    Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Dipal

    Hello, I use MAC AIR OSX 10.6.8 and have Adobe CS2, that I was using 2 years ago on my older computer. I stopped using it because it would close down in the middle of work. Now I would like to reinstall it on the MacAir but I can not get it working. It tells Adobe doesnT support my System. But I can not update my old version or activate it. What can I do?

    The mac you want to install photoshop cs2 on is running mac os x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
    (photoshop cs2 won't run on intel macs with mac os x newer than snow leopard)
    Did you ever have cs2 installed on this particular computer before?
    If the problem is that you already installed cs2, but it won't activate, that's because adobe took the activation servers offline for some older adobe products such as cs2.
    You'll need to use the non activation version of cs2 from here and the supplied serial number:

  • Can't get Mail working properly

    I just got my new MacPro this week, and it's really great except for I can't get Mail working right. I've set up my accounts and a few emails come through, though not many, and because it's been a week since I've been online, there should be many more than that. Also, I can't send any emails at all, no matter what I do. They will eventually go into my Sent box, but I've been sending them to myself to see if it's working, and they never come through. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with the tech support for my ISP, and they told me that I'd have to talk to the Apple techs because they didn't have current info for *Mail 3.1*, the version I have, that the latest they had was for 2.something. So I called the Apple tech support and spent 2 hours on the phone with them, and they weren't able to help me get it going correctly either. It keeps giving me error messages such as Connection Failed, or Unable to Receive Mail, saying "there may be a problem with the mail server or network" and that "the connection to the server on ... port has timed out." I'm on DSL and am always online, so I know it's not the internet connection that's the problem. Can anybody give me some advice on what I should try? Any help will be gratefully appreciated!

    Is your ISP Verizon, Demon, or Glocalnet, then it might be Apples biggest Leopard Bug in conjunction with these ISP:s POP-servers.
    The one that randomly changes the settings in "advanced" from "password" to "APOP".
    The visual result of this bug is that you will get a popup-box where Mail asks you to enter your password. (Which is useless entering, since the preference settings are changed.)
    My advice counts only when you are supposed to use "password" as the correct setting in "Advanced" and in conjunction with some ISP:s.

    I can't get my work email onto my Droid X.   Anyone know the trick?

    First quesiton I have is do you have authorization to access your work email from your Droid X? Just knowing the email address and password is enough for you to get your personal email, but your employer must approve remote access.
    If it's okay with your employer, you may also need to know the incoming and outgoing email server addresses, the port number, and your username on your employer's email server. If you're not sure what they are, check with your IT admin AFTER you get confirmation that it's okay to get your email.

  • Australia Post Shipping - Can't get to work

    Hi,
    I have read all the online support docs I can find and I just can't get Australia Post Shipping to work on our site for international orders.
    Everywhere it says:
    Choose your shipping provider
    Enter your account details
    Your customers see real time shipping costs!
    But Australia Post selection doesn't let us enter account details - does anyone know where I enter them?
    (see image at bottom)
    And after I allocated sizing, weights etc to every product it doesn't even look like it even works:
    (see how there are no options to select)
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it to actually work? I can't imagine BC would role something like this out if it didn't even work but from all my googling I can't see that anyone actually uses it (or at least comments on using it!)
    Would love any help
