Adding new printer with ARD 2.2

I just installed a new printer in a lab of 27 eMacs (an hp 1200). I set up the printer on one of the eMacs and now would like to use ARD 2.2 to install the printer on the other computers. Where is the information about installed printers stored in 10.4? I copied the /users/username/library/printer folder from the eMac with the new printer setup to one of the other eMacs but it didn't copy the new printer into that folder. Is there a better way to do this? I thought that there would be a folder or file that stores this info. that I could easily copy to the other eMacs. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi there,
Printer information is stored in /etc/cups. Here you will have several files containing printer information, such as cupsd.conf and printers.conf. There is also the ppd folder that contains the ppds for the printer/s that have been added.
I haven't tried this but I think if you copy the two files and folder mentioned above and the file/s from the ~/library/Printers folder, then this may be sufficient.
Of course the printer would have to be a network printer. If it is physically connected to the eMac then this won't be suitable. Sorry if this is obvious but you didn't mention how the printer was configured so I couldn't assume you were aware of this.
Regards,
Paul

How do i install a new printer with no dvd?

how do i install a new printer with no dvd?

Hook it up and see if it works. If it is one of the more common printer brands/models, it could very well have it's drivers installed, depending on how your OS was installed. If not, you can always go to the support site for your printer and download the drivers, if necessary.
What kind of printer do you have? What OS and how was it installed?

Ease of adding new printer- what am I missing?

I haven't had to add any peripherals to my iMac for several years, but am now trying to help my parents (in another state) install a new printer on their eMac. I've always heard how easy it is to add and install peripherals on a Mac compared to a PC, but they're having a heck of a time and I'm having trouble talking them through it over the phone.
They're trying to install a Canon Pixma MP-830. They installed the software from disk and tried to print- nothing. I explained how to "Add A Printer" from the Print Utility, but they're it's still not showing up for some reason. Part of the problem is the "old dog/new tricks" thing- they're in their late 60's and are slowly adapting to the world of computing; another problem is that I'm trying to help them remotely.
My brother, a PC-guy, insists that if they were installing it on a PC it would be plug and play right out of the box. My parents and I are all getting quite frustrated with the difficulties they're encountering, considering it should be a fairly basic exercise.
Is there something we're missing about the supposed ease of adding a printer? It certainly hasn't been easy thus far.
Thanks.
iMac G3 600 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hello Dave,
There are a couple of things you can get them to check. The first is that the printer is showing as being connected to the Mac. Get them to open System Profiler and select Hardware > USB. All going well they should see the printer details on the USB bus. If it is present then we can move on but if it isn't then get them to disconnect the power to the 830 (not the USB) and then reconnect the power. The printer should now appear unless it or the usb cable is faulty.
If it does appear then we can check the driver. After running the driver installer they have to restart. If they don't then that can stop the software detecting the printer. If the driver did install correctly then when they go to add the printer they should see it in the Default Browser view of the Printer Setup Utility. When they select it the Print Using menu should show Canon IJ Printer. If it doesn't then there has been a problem with the software installation. So I would get them to do the following;
1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the file Canon iPxxxx xxx.pkg
5. Empty the Trash
6. Restart the Mac
7. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Check the Canon web site to ensure you have the latest version. Do the restart when prompted. This is important.
8. After the restart, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
9. Open Printer Setup Utility and click Add.
10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
11. Click Add to add the printer.
Hopefully this is not too much for them but unfortunately when things don't work then these extra steps are needed. As for your brothers comment - I can guarantee you that Windows is no better. The same problem does occur.

Adding New Macs to ARD

Hi Group!
Lately we've been having trouble adding new Mac's on our network to ARD. 10.6.x and 10.5.8.
The window for the admins user name and password drops down, but then immediately goes right back up. I've tried a gang of things to try and figure this out, locally and on the target Mac, but nothing seems to remedy the problem.
Anyone seen this?
Thanks a bunch!

Just saw the same thing and figured it out. ARD keeps offline machine's IP address in its database. When I tried to add a brand new machine, it got the same IP as the offline machine from the DHCP server. This caused an inability to add the new machine exactly as you saw - the window goes right back up. When I deleted the old machine from All Computers, I could immediately add the new machine. Seems like a bug to me. Now I have to add back the old machine.

Adding new printer in chooser old OS

I just hooked up a new HP Deskjet 5940 to my old PowerMac G4 ronning on OS 10.2.8. I can print fine with my OS 10 applications, but when I go to my old OS 9 Excell or OS 9 Powerpoint, not only can't it see the new printer, I can't even add it in Chooser, where it simply doesn't show up. Help please?

You're quite welcome.

Need suggestions for a new printer with OS 10.9.5

I have a 2010 HP 6500 A Plus printer that has worked well with my iMac circa 2010. Printer is not feeding paper. It won't scan. Are there suggestions for a new compatible printer for OS 10.9.5.?

Hey Debbisita,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with your Printer and OS X. Before opting to purchase a new printer, you can try these troubleshooting steps to completely isolate the issue:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

The source field is too short.
The current program, "SAPLHRMM", tried to assign a field to a field symbo
However, the field is shorter than the type of the field symbol, which
is not allowed.
The statement in question is in the form ASSIGN f TO <fs> CASTING or
ASSIGN f TO <fs> with a field symbol that was created using the
STRUCTURE addition.
I tried operation - Chage,Create (same thing for all inputs)
is this correct funtion moduel for my requirment?
what ever i am passing the start and end dates this should check in the table records with this personal number and if this start date and end dates are not between of any start and end dates then it should add new record with this dates.

Setting up new printer with currently inactive AirPort Extreme

Is it possible to share a printer with 4 laptops using an Airport Extreme while another router provides the internet?
Here's what I have:
- Linksys WRT54GS wireless G router (in use)
- AirPort Extreme (older & not currently in use)
- MacBook Pro (running OS 10.5.3)
- 3 Dell XPS m1710 laptops (running Windows XP)
- Old Dell Dimension (running Fedora Linux)
- Dell 1110 printer
- Canon i80 printer (w/ Bluetooth adapter)
- HP Photosmart printer
I want to be able to print with the Dell 1110 printer from any laptop. I looked to connect it to the Linksys router but the router does not have a USB slot - the AirPort Extreme does. Is this a possibility?
Also, the Linksys router MUST stay. I'm sure many will suggest dropping it in favor of the AirPort extreme but this is not a possibility.
Thank you =)

Thanks for the help, I'm definitely getting there
I changed the settings as you've described and can now print from my MBP. The 3 Dell laptops are another matter. Would you have any idea what the IP address of the printer would be? Or the AirPort Extreme? I'm following this tutorial:
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1004.html
without much success but I'm really guessing at the IP address. I've tried 192.168.1.1 (my router) and 192.168.1.101 (the IPv4 address) with no luck. I suspect it's the IP address that's the problem ...
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Error 9672 when adding USB printer with bonjour

I cannot get the printer to be added. Everytime it says an error occured #9672.
I have done all the suggested options to get the printer to add. It is recognized in the add list, and does everything up to adding it to the network, but the error pops up.
I have updated airport extreme to the newest version.

What is the printer make & model that you are connecting to the USB port of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
You may want to double-check this iFelix site to see if it's compatible with the AEBSn.

Setting up new printer with MacBook Pro AND Dell?

Adding new field with constant value for pre-existing records

Hi,
I have to introduce in different tables (ztable and standard one) a new field, containing the company code. The problem is that all the records already inserted in these tables should be filled with a particular company code ('DD01').
I'd like to have this field automatically filled with a constant value without having to develop a program in order to update all the preexisting data. The reason is that cardinality of these tables is aroud 100 Millions of rec....
Ideal solution should be to have some rule/routine defined in the data dictionary CR, so to get the field value during the import of the related CR.
I've seen that is possible to define routine, but only for maintainance view (so new records..). If I open the db view, the situation is the following (example):
Campi di ZKR_CRPU
Nm.campo Pos. Tp. dati Lngh. Decimali Not null Default
MANDT 1 VARCHAR 3   X '000'
ZZKDATANNO 2 VARCHAR 4   X '0000'
ZZKDATMESE 3 VARCHAR 2   X '00'
ZZKCODZONA 4 VARCHAR 3   X ' '
ZZKDCODCTDIS 5 VARCHAR 6   X ' '
ZZKCRPU 6 DECIMAL 10 9 X 0
Is it possible to change the default value? is there a solution to my problem without developing a tool just for updating a field? I can also define a custom data element if the problem can be solved.
Thanks a lot,
Gabriele

Hi!
If I were you, I will not look for another solution, because it's pretty easy task for ABAP.
It can be solved within 1 line:
UPDATE ztable SET zzcompany = 'DD01' WHERE zzcompany = ''.

Adding new raid with different capacity drives on opposite side

hi,
I have an Xserve raid G4 with two sides of 7 bays. Currently one side is filled up with 7 250 gb Apple drives making a 1.37TB raid 5 and the other side is all empty. I just purchased 7 Apple 500gb drives and was wondering if I can combine the 2 sides into one raid 5 or because of the different capacity drives, must I have 2 raid 5s? I am thinking the latter.
(I have done a search for an answer to this question and couldn't find a similar question. So, let me apologize if this is redundant info here.)
Thanks

The two sides are completely independent, so regardless of the size of the drives you cannot combine the drives on the left side in the same hardware-based RAID array with drives on the right hand side.
It is, however, perfectly valid to have an array of 250GB drives on the left, with a separate array of 500GB drives on the right.
That said, once you have two (or more) arrays, you can combine them into a single volume on the desktop using software RAID to concatenate the multiple volumes.
If you decide to install the 500GB drives on the same side to incorporate them in the existing array then they will be treated as 250GB drives and the additional capacity will be lost.
