Add LPD printer using DNS name

I am trying to add a networked printer in the Print Center using LPD and the DNS name. Whenever, I type the full dns name, I get an message that says "invalid or incomplete address". I know the dns name is correct and can add it no problem to systems running OS X 10.6 and 10.7. I can also add it in 10.8 using the IP address.
Has something changed in Mountain Lion or is this a bug?

I was just on the phone with Apple support as well. The "senior advisor" I talked to said he was familiar with "some other instances" of this happening. He opened a case and told me he would get back with me as well. He did say there is no known resolution.
The initial person I sopke with told me they only support direct connection of printers, not networked printing. The senior advisor tolde me that this is an issue with non-Mountain Lion compatible drivers… We are running primarily HP and Xerox workgroup-class devices that are a few months old up to 5 or 6 years old. They all print fine in ML if we get them set up (using an IP address). We are a publisher and would notice very quickly if print drivers didn't work correctly.
Hopefully, others reading this post will contact Apple as well. The squeaky wheel gets the attention. Will update this post when I hear back.

  • HP IP Print by DNS Name

    I want to configure a bunch of Macs running Tiger and Leopard to print by HP IP Printing via 'Other Printers', using a DNS name. So far it appears that it is not possible using the GUI to add a printer by DNS name rather than IP address. This is bad, since changing the IP address of a printer or print server requires manual intervention for each and every mac.
    I'd much rather do the sensible IT sort of thing and let DNS resolution handle the change over transparently for large numbers of machines. It seems kind of asinine that this isn't possible already. I did notice that getting information on the printer reveals that is is using a gaboon URL and referencing the printer by IP. Is there a file I can edit by hand that will force it to reference the URL by dns name?

    Robert,
    Unfortunately using the standard IP addition method does not allow me to install the correct driver. A supported driver (HP color Laserjet 2.0.1) only shows up when using HP IP Printing to connect to the printer.

  • Unity Express Backup: Can we use DNS name of FTP server instead of IP address?

    Gentlemen!
    In the Unity Express system, can we use DNS name of FTP server (Microsoft FTP Server) instead of IP address in the General configuartion for Backup Server?
    e.g.  FTP://FTP_Server_Name/Directory
    Additionally we need to configure/add DNS server name in the Domain Name settings under system menu. Is there any additional configuration would require for setting up FTP server with DNS entry & above config?

    Backing Up and Restoring Data
    Last Updated: May 12, 2010
    Cisco Unity Express backup and restore functions use an FTP server to store and retrieve data. The backup function copies the files from the Cisco Unity Express application to the FTP server and the restore function copies the files from the FTP server to the Cisco Unity Express application. The FTP server can reside anywhere in the network if the backup and restore functions can access it with an IP address or hostname.
    We recommend that backups be done regularly to preserve voice-mail messages and configuration data.
    Backup and restore commands are available in configuration mode and in offline mode.
    •In configuration mode, commands are available to set the following parameters:
    –Number of backup files to keep (the oldest file is deleted).
    –URL of the FTP server where the files will be stored.
    •In offline mode, perform the backup or restore procedure. Decide the following:
    –Type of files to be backed up: all files (configuration and data), only configuration files, or only data files. Data files consist of voice-mail messages. Configuration files consist of all other system and application parameters.
    –URL of the FTP server where the files will be stored.

  • Printer Policies - DNS Name rather than IP

    Is there a way to point to a DNS Name entry rather than IP address when I associate it with a printer? Reason being Networking would prefer us using DNS entries as the ips might change one day.
    At this time, this fails all the time for me.

  • How do i add a printer using wifi?

    Do you have a wifi capable printer? If so, what kind? Macs only connect to a small number of wifi printers; specifically Epson and HP.

  • My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
    Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation.

  • NAC Profiler DNS Name Queries

    Hi Guys,
    I'm having an issue with NAC Profiler 3.1.1_18 when trying to profile servers using DNS Name.
    I have one collector configured to  do DNS Collection with Zone transfer enabled.
    If I do a search with string *.server.*, the system returns me just servers with the word "server" in dns name. This is working fine.
    But when a create a profile (named Servers) and add a rule to match dns server names with the string *.server.*, profiler will put in the Servers' profile all devices that has any data on DNS Name field. no matter if it has the word "server" in the name or not.
    Any idea about what I'm forgetting?

  • DNS name lookup in clustering environment

              Hi,
              I have 2 managed servers hosted on different IP addresse in a cluster.
              I have configured Cluster address in weblogic console to these 2 IP addreses seperated
              by a comma.
              If I am doing lookup for a session bean from my application, which URL i should
              use in lookup?
              If I have a DNS name configured, how I should use it? Can I lookup using DNS name
              only?
              For Ex this is what I have done-
              I have 2 managed servers : 10.1.30.155 and 10.1.30.151
              I have configured cluster addresses to '10.1.30.155, 10.1.30.151'
              I am using url- 't3://DNSName' for Session Bean lookup.
              Can any one guide me on this?
              Thanks in advance.

  • System-config-printer-gnome freezes when trying to "Add" a printer

    I have the same issue that was discussed in the thread system-config-printer-gnome utility freezes when "adding" printer. Specifically, when I try to add a printer using system-config-printer gui, the window freezes and throws back the following code:
    mechoid9@ordinateur:~$ system-config-printer

    The solution mentioned was to use the CUPS web interface. This lets me add a printer (which is part of the solution), this is not the complete solution. I've used the utility before, and I'm comfortable with it, and I think that I should be able to use the gnome utility to add the printer if everything on my system is up to date (which it is, as of this posting). I would like to know why it doesn't work anymore (and I'm of the impression that it has something to do with how I've installed python on my system).
    I've googled the issue, and perhaps I didn't look around thoroughly enough, but I couldn't find a solution. So if somebody knows where to look I'd be glad to look there.

    I have the same problem. I noticed that it occured only after installing the following driver packages.
    hpoj-0.91-16 hplip-3.11.3-1 net-snmp-5.6.1-1 foomatic-db-engine-4.0.6_20101215-1 foomatic-db-4.0.6_20101215-1
    I did a workaround by installing the printer using the webinterface, removing the drivers again, setting the samba login details and then reinstalling the drivers.
    But this problem should really be fixed.

    Hi,
    I have an NEC UX5000 voicemail system that doesn't appear to support DNS Names.  Our SMTP host's WAN address changes often.  Instead of playing catch-up and change the wan address when someone tells me they are not getting their voicemails, is there a better way to handle this?
    I was thinking of some type of IP based DDNS solution.  If I could point my mail server to an internal address that never changes, and have that dynamically get the IP of the SMTP server, and then translate it, that would fix my issue.
    Your thoughts?

  • Can't add Canon MX870 using LPD on OS X 10.6.5

    We've just got a new Canon MX870 printer in our office, and I'm trying to add it on my mac (running 10.6.5).
    I've chosen LPD as the protocol, entered the printers IP address, and selected Canon MX870 series from the "Print Using" list. When I push the Add button, a windows drops down very briefly (less than a second) titled "Determining Installable Options". When it disapears, I'm left back at the Add Printer window, without the printer having been installed.
    I've tried downloading and installing the latest drivers from the Canon website, but that did not help.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Here's what I did to get it fully working. Install the software that came with the printer, when it can't find the printer on the network just cancel. Now that the software is all installed, let's get the printer added to the Mac.
    Okay, so what you want to do is go into Device Settings>LAN Settings>Other Settings>Bonjour settings>Enable/disable Bonour> Click Enable
    At this point you can also go into Service name and change the name of the printer.
    Then reboot the printer.
    Go into System Preferences>Print & Fax on your Mac, unlock it if it's locked, and click on the + to add a printer. Now you should be in Add Printer. Click on Default if your not already there, give it a few seconds to locate the printer and the scanner. Select the printer and click Add. Now, if you want the scanner added as well, go back in and click on the +, select the scanner and click Add.
    Now, unless there's some other network issue your printer should be fully functional.

  • Trouble with printing through 10.8 shared printer using lpd.

    Hi, hoping someone will have had a similar issue.
    I am using a OSX 10.8 mac mini as a print server.  I am using it as a print server because because i have clients that print across subnets and bonjour will not work for this application.  Previously with my 10.7 imac I had shared the generic printer aimed directly at the printers IP address.  Client macs aim at the print server using lpd (using ip or host name) and then the printer name (share) for the queue and also use the generic ppd. When a client adds this configuration aimed at the old 10.7 print server the printer would install and printing would be succesfull.  Now with the 10.8 print server a client (reguardless of client OS version) i get the "Unable to verify the printer on your network." when installing and printing fails. I have tried the proper ppd for the make/manufacture of the printer (i didnt think this would make a difference) I have tried using the cups commands as well:
    cupsctl --share-printers
    cupsctl --share-printers --remote-any
    cupsctl 'BrowseLocalProtocols="cups dnssd lpd smb"'
    assuming lpd was just not available and needed to be turned on...
    I am able to ping the 10.8 on the network from clients verifying they can see the server
    also have tried using ipp with no luck.
    Anyone else had this issue and if so is there a work around?  Thanks!

    The Mini prints just fine to the printer.  on a side note, I tried to add a "client" printer to the mini server.  I added a printer using the ip address 127.0.0.1 (self resolving)  and the que name as the share.  This didnt work either.  Im thinking this must be a cups setting?
