Block access to printing part or take printer off Mac's list of nearby printers

Our office manager recently purchased a LaserJet printer and has requested that we use that printer instead of the OfficeJet printer when we wish to print something. Because of this, I want to make the OfficeJet unavailable for printing from any device that is not physically connected to the printer. (I don't care if anyone can still print to it by wiring a computer to the printer.) However, we intend to use the OfficeJet as a scanner, copier, and fax machine.
As I indicated in the subject line, I would be OK with simply knowing how to configure a Mac to stop listing the OfficeJet as a printer.

Hello moonman239, I hope you are well
I saw your post about wanting to remove the Officejet from being available for printing however, keep the OJ available for scanning, copying and faxing.
I have a suggestion that might work for you, if not, please post this concern on the Apple Support Community
Click on System Preferences
Print and Fax
Sharing Preferences
Under "Users" beside "can print", change that option to "No Access"
If that removes the scanning abilities, try check marking the "Scanner Sharing" and remove the check mark for "Printer sharing" on the left column

When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem? My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine. I shouldn't have to buy a new one. Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected? That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
How is your network configured? Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary. If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router. If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation. The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router. But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

How can we access the 'print booklet' options in CS6 without a printer online?

I cannot access the print setup option in ‘print booklet’ in CS6 to change the paper/image orientation from portrait to landscape. I am trying to save it as a .ps file so I can take a print ready pdf to the printers. But the resulting pdf that saves now is cropping my A4 (to be A5 after stapled) 2up saddle stitched booklet. As in the spread stays landscape, but the A4 paper in portrait. Can anyone help me please?

Wifi network and iphone accessing to printer

Hi, I have a wifi network (non mac) at home onto which is related a HP printer.
Can I access the printer through my Iphone, say to print a pdf file received via e-mail that I oppened on my mobile device for example ?

Not really, no. The iPhone does not have printer drivers, so you cannot print documents, etc., from it. With an HP printer with Wi-Fi, you can print photos (only photos, not documents) using an App from HP:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=299531647&mt=8
Also, note that you can take a screenshot on your iPhone (quick press of home and sleep/wake buttons), which is saved as a photo, and that can be printed using the above app. But, you are limited to one iPhone screen per printout.

XP Mode can't access parallel printer connected with USB to DB-25 adapter

After some arduous work I finally got XP Mode to run on Windows 7 Virtual PC on my Win 7 Pro 64-bit machine. I have an HP LJ 4000 printer that has a Centronics interface with a DB-25 plug.
I used a USB to DB-25 adapter advertised as IEEE 1284-compliant.. I got the LaserJet 4000 installed, and it prints great from Windows 7. But nothing can print to it in XP Mode. The printer is recognized on the (XP Mode) Printers and Faxes page, but that's
as far as it goes. It is installed as the default printer (it's the only one in XP Mode; I didn't bother to install any others). The Win 7 Device Manager lists it under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as a "USB Printing Support" device and says it is working
properly. General properties shows "IEEE-1284 Controller." The XP Mode Device Manager shows an LPT1 port (which does not exist) and says it is working properly. Location is shown as "on Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to ISA bridge (ISA mode)." I haven't a clue what
this means (my motherboard is an ASRock and does not have any LPT ports). The Printer Troubleshooter in XP Mode exhausted itself without finding a solution. I first used the drivers for Windows 95 from the old (1997) HP installation CD for LJ 4000. I did update
the HP LJ 4000 drivers for XP Mode from HP's web site later, but this did not help either.

Hi ,
In a Windows XP Mode, USB devices can be used in two different ways: Sharing and Redirection and
Integration features is enabled by default.
Storage devices, Printers and Smart cards can be used without having to redirect the device manually, by simply sharing it with the host.
Sharing requires the devices are available in both XP Mode and Host OS. If not, you need to use redirect device to Virtual Machine.
Please refer to the following link and follow the steps scenario 2: Use a USB device in a virtual machine to redirect a USB device to a virtual machine.

How to get windows 7 pc to access a printer connected to airport express

Hi,
I have connected an airport express to my BT home hub and created a new Wi-Fi network. I have also connected a Canon MP550 series printer to the express which I can access to print from my macboon pro. However I am unable to print from my Windows 7 SP1 laptop even if I connect using the same Wi-Fi network. Have used Bonjour and it installs the printer but still cannot print from my Win7 laptop. Any suggestions why is it happening?
Thank you.

I cannot get my MacBook Pro to print greyscale on my Canon MG6450. I cannot access the printer driver panel on the Macbook. So I am stuck printing everything in colour and cannot specify which pages I want printed.

Try resetting the printing system:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Next try deleting the system and reinstall the printer..

Crystal tries to access the printer on the initial development machine ...

Post Author: duman
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have following issue:
I developed many reports on my machine in Germany, by using a network printer.
Now that the reports are approved, they are installed on a citrix machine in boston.
Somehow loading of the reports in the citrix session took 3-10minutes, until the application poped up the parameter screen. After typing in the parameters opening the report took only view seconds.
On my local machine I did not have this problem. The reports were loaded quickly. The behavior on 5 different citrix servers were the same like the described one (each loading delayed 3-10 minutes ).
By tracing the processes in the citrix session I found out that the spooler.exe accessed my development printer in germany (shared printer \ slow network connection). The spooler loads the drivers on the server in germany, where the printer is.
Why does crystal by loading a report access the printer on which I developed?
Even if I change the printer in the pagepreferences of the report, crystal still tries to access my initial printer on which i developed. ??
Can anyone help me on this?
thanks
Duman

Well it seems from your error message that JDeveloper is trying to create this directory here:
C:/Documents and Settings/cyounger/Desktop/jdevstudio10134/jdev/system/oracle.j2ee.10.1.3.42.70/embedded-oc4j/applications/datatags.ear
This is probably failing because of the space in the path (i.e. Documents and Settings).
So the question is why is it trying to create the directory there if your JDeveloper is installed elsewhere.
I'm going to guess that you either have an environment setting pointing to this directory (maybe something like JDEV_USER_DIR) or it is because you upgraded from another JDeveloper install that used that directory. If this is the case I would suggest a fresh install of JDeveloper and to choose "NO" when asked if you want to upgrade from a previous installation.

They're probably just interested in getting $ from you, there are several companies who advertise in a way that suggests 'official' support for all sorts of things. Unfortunately, if they had access as you describe, they potentially could have installed other software and/or read any of your files.
Ideally - change all passwords for email/banking/login & restore a backup from before this happened.

Printers added and shared without access to printer properties - Server 2012

On a Server 2012 domain controller, without the Print Management role installed, I have added a network printer through ‘Control Panel’ > ’Devices and Printers’, shared it through group policy, and the domain
member computers are able to print to the shared printer. But the printer never showed up in ‘Devices and Printers’ folder on the server.
The problem comes in since there is no way to edit the settings of the printer. The print queue for the printer does show up in Device Manager. I right-click the printer and select ‘Properties’, open the ‘Settings’ tab, and follow the link that
states, “Please go to the Devices and Printers folder to manage your printer”.
But this just opens up the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder which, does show/contain my printers.
If you are asking why the Print Management role is not used, It is because this system is self-contained and the most minimal features are installed on all computers for security compliance reasons. Therefore we typically just install the printers
on the domain controllers (via Devices and Printers) and then share them via Group Policy to the small number of workstations on the segregated network.
Did the ability to bypass installation of a Print Management role, and still edit printer settings, change for Server 2012? (We were able to do this with Server 2008R2. However, I can’t find any specific Microsoft documentation describing the change.)
So to try to fix this issue on the affected system (from my explanation above), I installed the Print Management role but the printers I created in ‘Control Panel’
don’t show up in Print Management. I still have no way to access the printer settings. Do I have to reinstall the printers? How do I remove the old printers? Do I just remove the ‘Print queues’ from Device Manager?
I tried to replicate my issue on a test system domain controller, built with very similar installation scripts as the affected system above was. I added a printer via ‘Control Panel’ > ‘Devices and Printers’, shared them, and they do not show up. However,
when I then install the Print Management role, the printers I created in ‘Control Panel’
now show up in Print Management. This is different than my affected system above.
If anyone could provide any insight on why this is happening it would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

Most likely this is a security setting on the print shares. When you open Devices and Printers, the security token for BUILTIN accounts is not passed to the Explorer process so launching this User Interface as administrator does not contain the ADMIN security
token. If you have removed the Everyone group from the printer security, then the printer can disappear in this UI. For printer admin tasks you should use the tools provided by the print team Printmanagement.msc.
Adding the Print Role opens the spooler RPC endpoint ( which you can also do by sharing a printer ) and adds the tools.
Can you just add the tools without installing the Role?

I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.
