Bursting : printing using LPD protocol?

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble sending my .pdf output to a printer and wondered if anyone has used LPD protocol instead of IPP. I am on 5.6.3 and read that it may be supported on this version. If anyone is using this, an example from your control file would be great!
Thanks

So... Is everyone out there using the ipp command that is in the user guide? I am not sure that we have CUPS set up. Do you need that to be able to print? Is there any other way to print from the bursting control file if you don't have CUPS set up?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!

  • SAP Printing using Berkeley Protocol

    Dear All,
    I am very new to SAP. I wanted to know about the settings required for SAP printing using Berkeley protocol.
    We have SAP server (which is running in a remote place), client (in our work location) and a printer (in our work location). All are connected to through the same network.
    1. Consider SAP Server IP is IP_X and name is Name_X
    2. Consider SAP client IP is IP_Y and name is Name_Y
    3. Consider printer IP is IP_Z and name is Name_Z
    Can any one of you can tell me how to configure the settings so the SAP printing from SAP client is possble through Berkely protocol.
    Also, please tell me what all are the pre-requisite required for the settings.

  • 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?

  • EA6300 - Windows TCP/IP Printing Using LPR Protocol to USB ??

    I am in process of replacing an old Zyxel router with (probably) an EA6300 (depending on the answer to this post...)
    Currently I have a Dymo USB label printer connected to the Zyxel's USB port, and my Windows 7 clients are set up to print to that device using the LPR protocol through a Windows TCP/IP print port connected to 192.168.1.1 (the IP address of the Zyxel).
    So my question is whether the EA6300 will work in the same way?

    Hi Andrew! Yes the VUSB software must be installed on your Windows 7 computer for it to be able to see the printer that will be connected to the USB port of the EA6300 and be able to print . Here's more information about the EA6300, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=7e5454f239a946599bd151dccb031a57_Getting_to_know_t...

  • 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.

  • Can't print using ethernet connection

    I am running Lion (10.7.4) on new Macbook Pro and am not able to connect my printer (HP LaserJet 5000GN) via an ethernet connection. I've downloaded the software drivers from Apple (v. 2.9) and used software update to make sure I am fully up to date, and restarted.
    When I select System Preferences>Print and Scan and the click "+" in the dialog box, the Add Printer window comes up with nothing in the default window. When I go to the IP window in Add Printer the three options are IPP, LPD, and Socket. If I enter my IP address in the address box (I get a "Valid and complete address" verification in the window, I also pinged the printer successfully in Network Utility), and select the HP LJ 5000 series in the "print using" box, IPP gives me an error and LPD and Socket tells me "Unable to verify the printer on your network. It can not be currently determined if ‘192.168.0.4’ supports the HP JetDirect Protocol. Would you still like to create the queue?" If I select it anyway, it gets hung up on the "Setting up '[name of IP address]'" popup (shows it's running but never completes) unless I click the configure button and check the boxes.
    After checking the boxes if I then go back to the Print & Scan Window, a printer appears with my IP address as its name. If I try to print, the Print Queue window comes up but the progress bar just runs endlessly and I get a message in Print Queue window, "Microsoft Word - Unable to verify your printer on your network." (The first part is because I tried to print a MSW document, but I've tried other software and it still fails to print.)
    I've also tried this with different ethernet cables and with a direct ethernet connection vs. on a hub. The printer was working fine via ethernet connection on my old Macbook running 10.4, so I know this is some kind of software/configuration problem. This is an old printer so ethernet is the only option for connecting to the computer.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    seems like it's all working now. i selected apple talk, and it found my laserwriter instantly.
    forgot about apple talk!

  • 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.
    If you run into any problems hit me up on Twitter http://twitter.com/chriseckman81

    OS X Mavericks: Set up a printer
    If you connect a USB printer directly to your Mac, or add a AirPrint-compatible printer to your wireless network, as soon as you turn the printer on it’s ready to print with no additional setup required. For other printers, you may have to complete a few steps to add the printer.
    Important: OS X is compatible with most common printers and downloads the latest printer software automatically. To make sure you have the latest software, don’t install the software that came with the printer or from the manufacturer’s website.  
    When you add a printer, OS X can usually detect whether the printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can’t, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer’s installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.
    Connect a USB printer to your Mac
    Follow the instructions that came with the printer to set it up, connect it to your Mac, then turn it on. Use the instructions to unpack the printer, install ink or toner, and add paper.
    Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure OS X has the latest information about printer software it can download from Apple. If Software Update doesn’t list an update for your printer, you have the latest software.
    Open a document to print, then choose File > Print.
    If necessary, click the Printer pop-up menu, then choose your printer.
    Add a Wi-Fi printer
    Follow the instructions that came with the printer to connect it to your Wi-Fi network and turn it on. Use the instructions to unpack the printer, install ink or toner, and add paper. For more information, see this article: Apple Support article: Connecting a Wi-Fi printer to your Wi-Fi network

A dialog appears listing printers on your local network. It may take a minute or two for your printer to appear.  If you’re asked for an administrator name and password 
    Select your printer when it appears in the list, and then click Add. OS X automatically uses AirPrint if your printer supports it, or it selects printer software (also called a printer driver) and downloads it from Apple if necessary.
    Add a network printer
    You can connect to printers on your local network that use Bonjour, IP, and Open Directory, as well as shared printers and printers connected to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station.
    Be sure to follow any instructions from your network administrator.
    If the printer isn’t already connected to your network, follow the instructions that came with your printer to unpack it, install ink or toner, add paper, and connect it to your network.

  • Connecting to USB connected printer via LPD

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know if you can access a USB attached printer using the LPD protocol? I cannot find this in the Time Capsule documentation.
    I'm helping a Yosemite user where Bonjour is not working and thus the USB connected printer is not being advertised in order to add it.
                     How to get Yosemite to see new printer driver for Canon via Bonjour            
    For other brands, the USB port has a name like Port1 or PR1. So I would like to know if the Time Capsule supports such a connection.
    Thanks
    PaHu

    Hello PAHU. I'm thrilled to have run across you on the Apple site. Your post (below) is exactly what I need help with:
    "Rather than use Bonjour, which seems to have a problem for some users who have updated to Yosemite, you can use one of the IP protocols included with OS X. To do so you will need to find the IP address the printer is using. If you need help with that, reply with the model of Canon you have.
    With the IP address noted, open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add. Select the IP icon and enter the Canon IP address in the Address field. Change the Protocol to LPD and leave the Queue blank. Change the Name to the model of Canon and then in the Use menu, select the appropriate Canon driver for your model. Click the Add button to complete the printer creation and then see if you can print."
    Kindly please tell me how to find my printer's IP address. I am desperately trying to reconnect to my Canon PIXMA MP500 since upgrading to Yosemite. I will be in your debt!
    Thank you most kindly!

  • When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
    In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
    If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

  • Wireless network printer using print server

    I have a USB HP LaserJet 3015 printer connected to a print server, Level One FPS-3003 and then connected using RJ-45 LAN cable to my wired/wireless LAN switch router. It works correctly with all my Windows XP and Vista pcs on the LAN wirely or wirelessly.
    I recently bought MBA and configured it to connect the printer wirelessly. Before that, I connected the printer directly onto the MBA and it works like a charm. Once I complete the setup and I tried to print a page from Word Mac 2008. It failed. The print job showed that the Printer Paused and job status was stopped. I tried to click the button of Resume Printer and the printer became Printer Ready but the print job status remained Stopped. I clicked Resume button (Resume printing of selected jobs) and the printer changed to Printer Paused.
    It appears to me that the print server does not like Leopard. I look at the print server menu and the OS requirements are stated Windows 98 SE/ME/2000/XP/2003 and HP-UX, Unix, Linux and RFC-1179 LPD System. Is there any workaround to make it work with Leopard. Thanks!!

    Usually you'll find all the info you need listed under unix or linux (print server manual). Oh, but I see the manual is for Windows only.
    The easiest printer setup will be to plug the printer into USB port 1 and use IP Printing > HP Jetdirect protocol. No Queue name. Refer to manual page 50 - TCP/IP port 9100 equals HP Jetdirect protocol.
    For scanning, you can try the TWAIN-SANE drivers:

  • How to use LPD server with CUPS

    Hello,
    could you help me please, how to add support of cups-lpd? Some info is here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man8/cups-lpd.8.html. I know how to add this to linux but not to OS X. I was trying to connect to MAC with LPD protocol, but I was not successful (but with IPP was everything OK - CUPS doesn't support LPD server defaultly), so it should help me. Thank you for your advices!

    Looking through the CUPS documentation, I can only find reference to using IPP on the client to connect to shared printer on the Mac. There is no mention of being able to use LPD on the client and in testing this morning I can confirm that LPD is not supported.

  • How to print from linux to Mac printer using cups - password?

    I think that I have done the correct things to share my printer from my OS X 10.4 Mac mini (my MacBook is happy to print on the Mac mini printer), and my Ubuntu Linux computer seems to be ready to print using cups. Linux can see the printer on Mac mini, but when I try to send a print job the Mac refuses access. I assume the problem is that the Linux computer needs to send the Mac a password, but I don't know how to do that -- where in the sequence of information coming from the Linux computer the password should be, what format, how to get the Linux computer to send the info through lpadmin or the GUI. All that.
    Can anyone help? Preferably with step-by-step instructions for the complete idiot. I have seen FAQs on printing, but there is no information about passwords. And most are focussed on smb rather than cups.

    I use linux and print through the Mac - but I don't have the trouble you are describing.
    There are 2 places to enable print sharing on Mac - have you done both of those?
    What protocol are you using - the easiest for CUPS is IPP (port 631). I have an Ubuntu computer at home - describe exactly how you add the printer and I'll be able to follow through.

  • Can't do wireless printing using my macbook

    hello all!
    i need a little bit of help here as i'm new to wireless printing.
    i bought a new wireless-N router from Aztech model GR7000, it has two USB ports and allows files sharing and printer sharing. I have connect my Canon MP258 (a normal non-wireless All-in-One printer) to the router and i have successfully set up my desktop and my brother's laptop (both running windows vista) to print wirelessly. I have also set up my bootcamp (windows7) on this macbook pro i'm using to print wirelessly successfully. However, the problem comes when i wish to set up my macbook (OS X 10.6.6) to connect to this printer. The following are the steps i did to add this printer:
    Added under IP
    Protocol: Internet Printing Protocol
    Address: my router's IP address (e.g. 192.168.x.x)
    Queue: left blank
    Name: my router's IP address (e.g. 192.168.x.x)
    Location: left blank
    Print Using: Auto Select and it sets it as Generic PostScript Printer
    after which i went to the Print & Fax page to change the settings using Options & Supplies, i changed the driver of the printer to Canon MP250 series. I set this printer as my default printer and there is a green idle light below my printer name. I assumed this means my macbook has successfully registered my printer and detected it as online. However, when i go on with printing, nothing happens and the job queue will show my document is printing but will never be done printing. Anyone can please provide me some advices? I am lost. Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you have the Canon AIO connected to the USB port of a wireless router/print server you cannot use the Canon provided drivers (or use Generic Postscript as you have done so far). Normally for this type of connection you need to use a CUPS driver, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab.
    Gutenprint is preferred because it is free however your new MP258 is not listed as a supported model. So you could try using a different model of Gutenprint/Canon driver, such as the MP160, but you could waste a lot of ink, paper and time trying to find a good match.
    So your other option is [PrintFab|www.printfab.net] which supports more recent models of Canon inkjets and costs €49. Your MP258 is not listed on PrintFab either, but your model could be region based (we have a similar thing in Australia with the MP495) and therefore may work with the MP250 or MP260.
    Another option would be to replace the Aztech with an Airport Express or Extreme. Airport devices do allow you to use the Canon supplied drivers.

  • Printing using direct IP address of printer

    Printing using direct IP address of printer
    Is there a way in Adobe Livecycle where we can directly print using printer’s IP address by passing print server?

    which entries to be added on TrustStore,
    which protocol to be use,
    which format we have to use in PrintURI?
