Solaris 10 as print server for remote Windows

Fellow SparcMeisters,
I'm having problem printing from Windoze XP/98/etc machines to an HPLJ 5000 attached to a SunBlade running Solaris 10. Before upgrading from Solaris 9 to 10 in December, printing was flawless. Now all that prints are line after line, page after page of raw PCL and PostScript:
^[%-12345@PJL JOB
@PJL SET RESOLUTION = 1200
@PJL SET ECONOMODE = OFF
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
et cetera
As background:
* Solaris 2.51, 2.7, and 9 worked flawlessly.
* Local printing and remote printing from another Sun or Macintosh OSX are flawless.
* I've tried various printer drivers on the Windoze machines: HP Postscript, HP PCL6, Generic PS, Generic PCL6.
* I've tried various definitions in the Solaris print manager: Generic PS, Generic PCL6, foomatic/PostScript, foomatic/hpljs
* I've tried various postscript settings on the windows side: with/without control-D before or after, ascii or binary
* I've sent the jobs by lp and by ipp.
* lpstat -a reports:
     HPLJPS accepting requests since December 20, 2007 ...
* svcs -a | grep print ... reports:
     online 14:10:07 svc:/application/print/cleanup:default
     online 14:10:47 svc:/application/print/server:default
     online 14:10:47 svc:/application/print/rfc1179:default
     online 14:10:51 svc:/application/print/ipp-listener:default
     online 14:10:58 svc:/application/cde-printinfo:default
Assistance in re-establishing such remote printing would be greatly appreciated. Please be kind about my running Windoze on some machines here. My work here requires it. :(

Thanks to Tim Croteau of Sun, a work around was found for this problem.
A printer definition should be made as:
lpadmin -p somename -v /dev/somedevice -T unknown -I any
For my use, the commands were:
lpadmin -p HPLJ5000 -v /dev/ecpp0 -T unknown -I any -o banner=never
accept HPLJ5000
enable HPLJ5000
That I can see, Solaris Print Manager does not provide a GUI-way to do this directly.
Using the Print Manager, defining the printer as it is, an HPLJ 5000, seems to cause the postScript input to be filtered. To prevent any filtering the Type must be "unknown" and the Content must be "any".
By the way, this printer definition can be in addition to a printer definition to the same printer for local use. For such local use, the Print Manager can define the printer as an HP LaserJet 5000 printing PostScript.

  • Printer server for two HP printer on VISTA PC

    I have just purchased a Dell pc with the VISTA operation system.
    I have two HP printers: HP Laser Jet 4100, Model CAAC049A, Serial # USJNG10352 and a HP business inkjet 2250, Model C2691A#ABA, Serical # SSG095110PR.
    I want to set them up so all PC's in the house can access them. I had been using an old Linksys printserver that is no longer support and will not work with VISTA.
    Is there any way that I can get these printers set up to work with VISTA and a print server? I know I can add a card to each that will let me use an HP jet direct card. I have also seen a parallel print server for sale on your web site.
    What options do I have.

  • Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

    Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
    I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

    No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
    The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

  • Can anyone recommend a USB print server for both Mac & Windows?

    After spending at least 20 hours trying to get my Macbook to print to a Windows XP shared printer, I am giving up and going the print server route. Unfortunately there seem to be a LOT of options and some are >$100. I want to be sure to find one that works for both Mac and Windows XP. Can anyone recommend a print server based on experience?
    It can be hard-wired to the network (does not need to be wireless) and only needs one USB port. Also, it does not need to be "multi-function" compatible.
    Thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately, Apple just started using the CUPS printing system ~4 years ago. With CUPS drivers, you can print to all the standard comm protocols, the way drivers work in Windows. But except for Brother's, NO non-postscript printer driver on OS X was written to use CUPS. Instead they are using Carbon, the OLD OS 9 legacy programming interface. In that, they get to specify exactly which protocol is supported - and that's nearly always ONLY USB.
    So, we have to rely on third party CUPS drivers. See if Gutenprint supports yours:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    or else, you may need to use printfab:
    www.printfab.net
    About print servers - they nearly all support "standard" protocols, which OS X (with CUPS drivers) can print to.

  • "Invalid printer specified" for 32bit Windows Service in 64bit Server

    Hi All,
    I'm having some issues with crystal reports.
    My development environment:
    Visual Studio 2008, 32bit Windows XP
    Running environment:
    Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 64 bit
    Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008 (x86)
    I've created two applications: one is console application and one is windows service. Both application run same codes to print crystal reports to printers and run at 32 bit. I can have multiple instance of console application running without any issues. When I run the windows service version, the first time the service works fine. But after I restarted the windows server, the crystal report throw Sysstem.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException.
    The detail of the exception is:
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80000201):
    Invalid printer specified.
       at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintOutputControllerClass.ModifyPrinterName(String newVal)
       at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions.set_PrinterName(String value)
       at Company.PrintReport(ReportClass report, String printerName)
    Both console application and windows service run at 32 bits. The user runs the service is domain controller who has admin permission. And the same problem happened on an web application hosted on IIS of the same server.
    What I've done so far:
    1. Set the printer option in the report to no printer
    2. Try install the crystal report x64
    3. For the windows service build for x86.
    Please some one help me in this.
    Cheers

    That is a rather strange issue.
    Make sure you are killing the report object once you're doen with it. E.G;
    Dim report as New ReportDocument
    Protected Sub Page_load()
    End Sub
    Private Page_Unload()
    report.close()
    report.dispose()
    GC.Collect
    End Sub
    //C# (on form open):
    private void WebForm1_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        if (boReportDocument != null)
            boReportDocument.Close();
            boReportDocument.Dispose();
            GC.Collect();
    // C# on form close
    private void Page_Unload(object sender, EventArgs e)
            if (boReportDocument != null)
            { boReportDocument.Close();
                boReportDocument.Dispose();
                GC.Collect();
    If closing and disposing does not help, is htis happening on your dev computer or after you move that app to another server?

  • CUPS Printing Server Discoverable by Windows Machines

    I have a server running archlinux on it with a CUPS server. It's used to host a USB printer as a network printer. It can be easily printed to via Linux, Mac, and Windows machines if it is hand configured on each client using the available IP address. I would like to make the printer discoverable on windows machines, i.e: the client:
      1. opens control panel
      2. goes to "add a printer"
      3. selects "network printer"
      4. the printer on the archlinux printer server (via CUPS) displays to be setup on the client
    I've done a bit of research and I've found that Samba holds a solution but I know nothing about Samba and according to the Archwiki the default smb.conf file holds the proper configuration for printer sharing (although I'm still unsure if this method is required. Also to note the default smb.conf file does not solve my issue).

    I think Avahi is what provides that on Arch.

    Tim
    This looks promising thanks! Do you know how avahi need to be configured to make it work with CUPS? Also, is Samba required for the printer to broadcast with avahi?
    I've also found cups-browsed however it doesn't seem to work. Below is my /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf if it will help any.

    You can try the following. I'm not on a network with a server running CUPS so I'm not sure these steps are verbatim, but hopefully this puts you in the right direction:
    1. Go to your CUPS web interface. It should be on port 631. If this is not open or accessible, modify your CUPS config so that it is: http://hplipopensource.com/node/231
    2. Go to Printers
    3. Go to the page for the printer you want to remote-print to, and grab the URL of that printer's page.
    4. On your Windows machine, when it begins to scan for printers, choose "My printer was not displayed in this list."
    5. Choose the option to input a URL, and paste the URL of your printer.
    6. Select your driver. Run Windows update if needed.
    7. You should now be able to print to that printer over the network.
    This is what my current fix is (and it works quite well), thanks for the suggestion though! The server is hosted in a public-ish place and there are various end users who aren't computer savy. The issue is one of convenience as most end users don't know how to follow directions correctly and "IT support" (which is just myself) is very limited.
    I'm not concerned about security currently (I'll worry about that later).
    Thanks for the responses!

  • Problems after print server migration to Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hi all,
    New forum member, first time poster. I am at my wits end and have concussion from banging my head on the desk for several days running. Hopefully someone here may be able to help.
    Environment
    I have recently moved our printing environment from a Windows Server 2003 machine to a new Server 2008 R2 machine in prep for rolling out Windows 7 x64 clients. We have 30-40 printers, majority of which are HP's (M2727's, P4015dn's, CM3530's, P2035's & a CM8060).
    My procedure for setting up the printers on the new server involved manually creating each printer and using up-to-date drivers, we wanted to start fresh. The HP's are all using the HP Universal PCL 5 or PCL 6 (61.115.1.10527) x86 & x64 driver. We use Desktop Authority on logon to install the required printers for each client.
    Problems
    Since everyone is now running through the 2008 R2 server we have had a bunch of intermittent problems pop up all over the place, mostly with our HP printers. When using the PCL6 driver some applications print a page or 10 of garbled gibberish (wingdings etc), so most printers are now using the PCL5 driver. Other applications print the error "PCL XL error" when using PCL6. Sometimes reinstalling the printer on the client machine will resolve these errors, however they tend to resurface.
    When we use the PCL5 driver our M2727's intermittently report "Out Of Memory" on the printer display (they are stock with 64M RAM each) - upgrading the RAM may fix this but we never had this problem before on the 2003 server. This problem is not specific to the size of the printed document - it could be a 20 page report or a 2 page excel document. Resetting the printer will generally clear this issue temporarily. This is currently our most annoying/biggest issue.
    Some people are having issues printing to a FujiXerox 340A-AP printer - in particular 1 person is able to print fine, where as another prints and the print margin appears to be far too small. After confirming all print margins on the server then reinstalling the printer on the client machine, the problem still persists. We have two FujiXerox printers, the second one is working as intended for 8-10 users with the exact same settings.
    Attempted Fixes
    These are some of the attempted fixes that I have tried:
    Turning it off and on
    Upgrading the firmware on the M2727's to resolve garbled printing & out of memory
    Upgrading the firmware on the CM3530's to resolve garbled printing
    Reinstalling all HP Universal PCL5/PCL6 x86 & x64 drivers on the print server
    Ensuring that the 2008 R2 server is 100% up-to-date with MS patches
    Backing up all printers on print server, removing the print server role, deleting all printers & drivers, rebooting, reinstalling the print server role and restoring all printers from backup
    Upgraded Desktop Authority to the latest version - as this application is in charge of installing the printers on logon
    As you can see we are having a lot of problems and nothing seems to make any sense. None of this happened before Windows Server 2008 R2 was brought in to the equation.
    If anyone is able to provide any assistance that would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Hartz.

  • How can I set-up my mac mini server to be a central file server for my windows boxes (they don't see the mac on the network), and how do I set-up a central iTunes server so that all my devices sync to the mac mini?

    I am looking for step by step instructions to configure my mac mini server to support the following:
    1. Central itunes server for all my devices (ipad, ipod, iphone, etc.)
    2. Central file server so that my windows devices can save and retrieve data from the central system (the mac does not show up in the network for the windows systems - all running windows XP or 7)

    You will need to enable file sharing in System Preferences
    as well as setting up sharing and permissions for the
    directories that you want shared.  You may also want to
    setup a non-administrative user or allow limited guest
    access.  The user would require entering a user name and
    password to make the connection, but would allow remotes
    to change files, if set up tat way.
    As for serving iTunes media, better to post in the iTunes forum.

  • How to connect to Linksys Wireless Print Server (WPS54GU2) from WIndows 7

    I tried the Print Server Utility that was loaded from the WPS54GU2 user install disk. Ended up with an AddPort error.
    Went ahead and created local printer for printer I was trying to get to (Epson Color Stylus 400). Did a "Printer Properties" on the printer after it is was created and clicked on the "Port" tab. Clicked on the "Add Port" button and selected "Standard TCP/IP Port" from list. Clicked on "New Port" . Wizard came up and clicked "Next" on this screen. I typed in the IP address of my Print Server (with no Port Name) and let it search for a while and it eventually failed. A screen came up requesting "additional port information" so I clicked on the "Custom" button and then clicked on the"Settings" button. Here I typed in the correct port name (which in my case was like LKxxxxxx where the x's are numerics). The IP address is already filed in. I checked the LPR button and made up a Queue Name and typed it into the Queue Name text box.
    After clicking OK I tried printing to the printer and everything seemed to work correctly.

    I have the same issue as I have a new Windows 7 machine that is hardwired to my Linksys WPS54G.  This is my main office PC and I have other computers throughout the house that are connected wirelessly to the WPS54G.  I've tried to create a new port for printing based on the posts from other users but it still won't work.  I've run the Linksys configuration and my PC sees the printer server.  Am I missing a step?
    Here is what I've done
    Go to ports
    Add new port
    Standard TCP/IP Port 
    Click new port (Wizard comes up)
    Enter printer name and IP address ( I enter my IP address for the Print Server 192.168.1.x)- Port name is same as IP Address (does this matter?)
    Go to custom settings and set for LPR with Queue name of LP1 (or should it be L1?)
    LPR Byte count box checked 
    Click next and finish
    Do I need to restart my computer?
    What am I missing
    Thank you

  • Using OS X Lion as a Business Server for a Windows & Mac Enviroment

    Hi there, I am debating on using OS X Lion (on a Mac Mini) as a server for a small business.  I have some lingering questions that I need help with.
    If I am using OS X Lion as the mail server,
    Does it provide any kind of online/web access (similar to OWA)?
    Does it work with Mac Outlook 2011?
    Will it work with Windows Outlook?
    Will the messenger work with a Window's machine at all?  (i.e., remote employee on a Windows laptop.)
    If I am using OS X Lion as a file server,
    Can I restrict access to certain folders?
    Is there a way to allow clients access to certain folders (similar to SharePoint)?
    Is there any FTP capabilities?
    How secure is OS X Lion?  I work in a very contentious / data sensitive field.  The information we will have is highly confidential and highly sought after.
    In the end, I am looking for a cost effective solution for a small group of consultants that deal with high profile matters, need to quickly and easily communicate and collaborate from both Windows laptops and MacBook Pros (90% remotely).
    Thanks for the help!

    And this is my problem.
    In windows terms:
    I want to assign a drive letter to a network drive, and have that be a machine-wide assignment, that is activated during bootup, and is visible to all users and services.
    I can do that for an arbitrary partition that is physically attached to the machine.
    I cannot seem to do that for any partition that is mounted over the network.
    The problems are:
    1. It doesn't map for every user,
    2. It doesn't map for services that run when a user isn't logged in
    3. It generates annoying inconsistencies in what programs see what.
    Is there really no way for an XP box to use a file server? Even a microsoft file server? (if there is, how do I make my mac os with samba look like a real microsoft file server).
    Annoying tidbit: The "conncet at login" information is stored in the user profile; if you rely on that, then the user profile cannot be stored with the rest of the user's personal files. If it weren't for that, I could probably live with a work around.
    (2 to 1 someone will say "Xp Professional can do that trivially" and tell me to upgrade. I thought XP home was supposed to support home and small office networking, and I thought that included a single shared file server.)

  • Using a Color Classic as a print server for modern Macs?

    My fiancé and I have a 2011 MBP and a 2008 MBP respectively, both running Mountain Lion.
    Our network is set up through a first-generation Time Capsule, which until recently, also had an Epson Stylus inkjet connected to it.
    The Epson has passed away, and the only working printer we have is an old Apple Personal LaserWriter 320.
    We still have several toner cartridges for the PLW, and it works just fine... but it only has tthe old 8-pin serial connector, and from what I understand, it's only compatible with LocalTalk.
    The PLW is connected to a Mac Color Classic, which has been upgraded with an LC 575 logic board (including an ethernet communications card). It's currently running Mac OS 8.6. I'd like to set the Color Classic up as a print server until we can decide on a long-term solution, but I am unsure of how to get these systems to talk to each other over the network.
    Can we get the Color Classic to host the PLW for our OSX machines?

    m8,
    Just like any hardwares,(vga, lan card, audio card etc) drivers for XP, Vista & Windows 2003 have specific drivers of its own. You'll need to find a driver for 3110(which include its modem) for windows 2003 server, but I doubt if you can find one. There is no work around on this!

  • Deploying Printer Server via GPO (Windows Server 2008 R2)

    Hi guys,
    I having encountered problem while  deploying printer server via GPO. My operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2. See the details below:
    "one or multiple errors have occurred during the execution of a deply or remove printer connection problem"
    Anybody know's how to fixs this problem ASAP.
    Any suggestion or clarification would be great!
    Please advice me, thanks
    Regards,

    Hi Bishelp,
    Firstly, please check the security tab of that printer, make sure your user account has access permission for it.
    To perform these procedures of deploy printer connections, you must be a member of the local Administrators group and have write access to Group Policy objects (GPOs) in the AD DS domain or the organizational unit (OU) to which you want to deploy printer
    connections. For more information please refer to following MS articles:

  • Adding to available "Printer Models" for shared Windows printers

    I have a MacBook (my first Mac) and I have been able to get it to network with my Windows XP desktop, and it can print to the Canon Pixma iP4000 printer connected to the Windows machine.
    However, in Printer Setup, I had to choose a Printer Model, and the closest I could find is "Canon S800 - Gimp Print v.5.0.0 beta 2" -- which allows me to print, but the printouts are all in draft mode.
    I would like more control over the printer settings. Is there a way to add to that list of available Printer Models (i.e., is there some way to download an update for that list)??

    Thanks, Greg, for the iFelix link. I had found that already, and run through the steps many times last night, and it still did't work on my MacBook.
    However, I did find another set of instructions on another web site that helped me get it working. Basically, I set it up as an LPD/LPR printer instead of a Windows Printer, addressing it via the IP address of my WinXP machine. I still have to use the manual sheet feeder (the driver can't deal properly with the paper tray on the bottom of the printer), but at least I was able to print.
    Oddly, I just tried again using the iFelix instructions, and now it works! Why it didn't work last night, I don't know. But now I've got two means of accessing this printer.

  • SE/30 as print server for Tiger Network

    Is it possible to use an SE/30 running 7.5.3 to act as a print server on a Tiger network?
    SE/30 has an ethernet card installed. Network involves a Linksys WRT54G. AppleTalk is on, because I print to a LaserWriter 4/600.
    The reason for asking, is that the Assante EtherTalk box is troublesome. (Altho' it's about 6 years old.) When there is a power interruption, it is very uncertain whether I can see the LaserWriter again.
    By using the SE/30, I could connect the LW to it with the simple LocalTalk connection, and bypass the Assante stuntbox.
    Help would be most welcome.

    LocalTalk Bridge 2.1 Information
    The Apple LocalTalk Bridge is an unsupported tool used to share LocalTalk-only devices, such as some LaserWriter printers, PowerBook notebook computers, or Newton MessagePad communications devices, on an Ethernet, Infrared, or Token Ring network. With the LocalTalk Bridge, you can access an Ethernet, Infrared, or Token Ring network while maintaining a seamless connection to your LocalTalk network. Again, this is an unsupported tool and has been provided solely as a convenience. Apple makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, with respect to this program, its quality, performance, or fitness for a particular purpose.
    System requirements for the LocalTalk Bridge
    System software version 7.1 or later.
    Either classic AppleTalk networking software or Open Transport version 1.1 or later. For machines running Open Transport, version 1.1.2 or later is recommended.
    Memory requirements:
    • The LocalTalk Bridge driver requires approximately 70K of RAM to run.
    • Open Transport requires a minimum of 5MB of RAM for computers with 68000-family microprocessors or 8MB of RAM for computers with PowerPC microprocessors. Open Transport memory requirements are based on total system memory including virtual memory, minus the size of any RAM disk and disk cache you choose.
    Hardware Requirements:
    • The LocalTalk Bridge requires at least a 68020 processor.
    • Network interfaces to include one LocalTalk port and an alternate interface (Ethernet, Token Ring, or Infrared).
