Cannot add printer to Linux server

I have a printer connected to a Linux box by USB. I can configure and print to it from Windows 8 (using \\IP-address\queue-name). I can't add it as an IP printer in Mavericks. I've tried IPP and LPD. In any case, I get the pop-up
Unable to verify the printer on your network.
Unable to connect to "192.168.0.4" due to an error.
When I proceed to create the printer anyway, printing hangs in the queue.
I've tried to find a solution by searching the Net. The only thing I can think that's different in my situation is that my MacBook is on a different subnet that the Linux box. Of course, I can access the Linux box over my home network using ssh. The network topology is such that my MacBook is on wireless going to a range extender which goes to the wireless router then to an ethernet switch that the Linux box is connected two. The two sides of the wireless router are on different subnets.
What can I check to get this going using the IP type? Or, can I configure it as a Windows printer (the Add printer dialog doesn't find the printer and I can't see how to manually add it using the address and name directly).
Thanks for your help.

What printer model is it? I ask, because often manufacturers provide USB-only drivers for USB-only printers - for Macs, that is. In other words, if you know about CUPS from using Macs and linux, the manufacturers actually provide drivers with the comm protocol built-in, rather than make use of the USB "backend" available from CUPS. These are called "monolithic" drivers - they don't follow the unix/linux/CUPS concept of making use of already-provided modules.

Cannot add users to Calendar Server

You may get the following error when you try to add users to a new
installation of Calendar Server 3.0:

Could not bind as [nsCalXItemId=10000:00001, o=Ace Industry,c=US]. 
Create ObjectClass for user [cn=John Doe, o=Ace Industry, c=US]... failed.

This is an inconsistent problem that we are trying to duplicate on a
regular basis. There are a few solutions:

1) Create another node. This seems to work every time. 
2) Deinstall the Calendar Server completely and reinstall. Be VERY
careful of the Directory Server URL definition.

Print to Linux Server Running Samba & CUPS

Trying to get iMac to print to the shared printer on home Linux Server running Samba and CUPS 1.2.10.
The printer shows up as a shared printer, however, in looking in my logs, I see that the destination packets are being sent to ip 255.255.255.255, instead of the Linux Server.
I have also tried to configure as IPP Printer, but that produced the same result.
Thanks ::

Can you give us more detail, like printer model, what protocol(s) you've tried and what entries you put in Printer Setup Add dialog? While you're at it, how have you enabled printer sharing on the linux box?
IPP would be the preferred protocol. When you Add in OS X Printer Setup, you'll need the IP address as well as the printer "queue name" from linux.

Cannot add printer...Error message Print Spooler not running

just purchased HP with vista. I had a HP Photosmart 6525 that did work at one time and then it stopped. Thinking the printer was the problem, I bought an HP 5660 and i get the same error messages. It did work to begin with but has stopped. I have unplugged and replugged in everything. Tried downloading drivers again and keep getting errors. I get an option to download the drivers from windows update or windows/INF/oem.inf. It does not matter which I choose as I keep getting a message that windows found driver software for your device but encountered an erro while attempting to install it. On of the installers for this device cannot perform the installation at this time. When I go to add on a printer I get the message that Windows can't open Add printer. The local print spooler is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine. I have restarted the machine many times and gone through the help with the spooler and there is nothing there to be spooled. I have downloaded and run the print & scan doctor, but that did not help. thanks for any and all help

The spooler is part of WIndows, if it is stopped (or broken), no printer will work.Try clear and restart the spooler (this page may help: http://hpanswers.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-start-stop-and-restart-print.html and if this doesn't solve the problem, you need to reinstall Windows (or run a system recovery to reset Windows).

Cannot add printer connected to airport extreme

when i go to add a printer coonected to airport extreme, i can see the printer as a bonjour printer and begin the process of adding printer...when the printer setup utility goes to add driver, the printer setup utility goes into a loop and has to be forced close...i can connect to the same printer with no problem when it is shared from another mac in the house...any ideas???

having the same type of problem. the HP designjet 110plus that we have connected to an airport express disappeared from my printer list sometime after upgrading to snow leopard. cannot add it manually, error -9672. tried uninstalling the driver, rebooting, and reinstalling the driver. nothing.

Cannot Add Printer Attached to Time Capsule

I upgraded to Lion on my MacBook and have since not been able to print over the network using Time Capsule. I have a Canon MP520 attached to a 500GB dual band time capsule. I have cleared all the printers from system preferences to start fresh. Under Print and Scan in System Preferences, I click the '+' button to add a printer. Like you would expect, the Canon MP520 appears under nearby devices. When I select this option, a pop up explains that software for the printer is available from Apple. Each time I click 'download and install', I get a progress bar that searches for the software and an error that the software is unavailable and to check with the manufacturer. Cool.
I have downloaded and installed several versions of Canon Printer Utility and the firmware. Everything I can find. When I click '+' to add the printer, it does the same thing and I cannot figure out how to add my own firmware. Finally, I try to quickly set it up through Pages. I get to an "add printer" page that has default fax ip and windows options at the top. It displays my printer as a Bounjour device. It gives me the option to select which printer software to use. When I click on "select printer software..." it gives me a pop up window and no software is found.
This is really frustrating and like I said I have had no problems up until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Stuart and welcome to the discussions.
Let's assume that the HP5550 is compatible with Time Capsule (TC). I'm not familiar with that particular model, but bear in mind that TC will not support scanning and other advanced features if you have an all in one type of model.
Work your way through the troubleshooting guide from Apple.

Cannot add print server role

Hi,
I have a server in a Citrix farm where I can't add the print server role. It was no problem on the other servers in the farm.
I get this error: The specified service does not exist as an installed service (0x80070424)
Restarting the server doens't help. Found other with similar problems which referred to this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968002
But Windows Update works fine on the server.
Any ideas?

Cannot add printer- get error message. LaserJet 1200

I recently bought a dual powered MacBook. It was working perfectly, and finding my printer both attached by USB, and wirelessly. It shows up as Bonjour LaserJet 1200. Suddenly, it stopped working, and cannot be added to the printer list. I get an error message,"client error message too long", or some other nonsense. I have several other computers, running OS X, and none of them have any problem sharing the printer, which is connected to an Airport Extreme remote base station. I have tried everything, and come up with no success. So eventhough the printer is recognized, with its address, and is sharable, it suddenly and without cause, cannot be added to the printer list, and thus I cannot print. Any suggestions. Peter
Recent Dual MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I did. before and I did again. and then uploaded and installed new software and STILL get error 1282. the hp people told me there is nothing they can do it's an apple problem. I'm stumped. If you can think of anything else would appreciate it.

Cannot add a New Essbase server into the EAS Console

Hi can someone assist me...........
I have installed Essbase on a new / additional server (that all went rather well, its not hard just pressing NEXT, NEXT, NEXT).
I then used a essadmin account to configure, i have to say its not the same as the other essbase server (so i am wondering if this was the start of my problems)!!. I did not use the same essadmin as the password is unknown its not known and the orginal installation was not recorded. I do however know and used the admin account for the shared services.
I then logged into EAS Console (single instance of the EAS, with a plan to add 3 new essbase servers to this console over the next couple of days.) i added the new essbase server, then externalised and all was happy with the world. SUCCESS :-)
I closed EAS, and went back in and thats where the fun started, it then stated that it could not connect and i recieved the invalid login message in essbase. I have read some forums and followed the advise of going into Shared Services and manually removing the new essbase server registry under projects, cleared down and replaced the essbase.sec file etc etc to the originals and stop/started the services.
So can anyone help on what my next steps should be?, I don't want to run off and re-register again via the console for shared services if i need to use the original essadmin password in my configuration. Any help will be gratefully recieved.

On EAS when trying to add a new server, or see a server list I get errors.
The server list is empty.
If I manually add a server along the lines of localhost:1423 or similar then I get network error 10061 failed to connect to localhost:1423
I have an identical install on another p.c. and have checked that all services that are up on the one that works are also up on the one that does not - they are.

Anyone assist in likely causes of my errors, and or tell me where to look for further detail??
thanks,

Hi John,
I have reviewed the logs.
Both HyS9RAFrameworkAgentErr and Out are 'clean' - i.e. no errors reported, last status on Out is Starting Application....
However, HyS9EPMServer-syserr / sysout are less than clean...
I have a recurrent error =>
java.lang.NullPointerException
   at com.brio.one.client.ClientFactory.getDefaultGSM (Unknown Source)
   at com.brio.one.client.ClientFactory.connect (Unknown Source)
   at com.brio.one.services.mgmt.logging.ServiceHandler.getBusinessService (Unknown Source)
And - when I run validate Essbase is 'clean', but when I try to connect via MaxL I get the same socket error as when I try via EAS.
Any thoughts on what these mean John?
thanks again,
Robert.

Cannot add attendees to iCal Server on SL Server

Hi,
I try to narrow this problem down as much as I can. First off... the normal calendar function works fine, but adding attendees to events doesn't work anymore. The server isn't live yet, so nobody noticed the error until now and I have no idea what went wrong and when.
When I access the Wiki calendar the error happens as soon as I want to add attendees. It says something like "You don't have permission to view this calendar" in a popup.
Webserver log:
*<IP-address> - - [12/Dec/2009:13:38:26 +0100] "POST /calendars/_uids_/28DEB<...>D7C/outbox/ HTTP/1.1" 403 131*
iCal server access log:
*127.0.0.1 - <user> [12/Dec/2009:13:38:26 +0200] "POST /calendars/_uids_/28DE<...>D7C/outbox/ HTTP/1.1" 403 131 "https://<fqdn>/ical/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 1062; de-de) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10" i=8009 t=223.5 or=1 recipients=1*
In iCal I can add the other users, but they do not receive the invitations...
Funnily enough I created a new temporary user, who is able to send out invitations, but the other users aren't able to accept them (with similar errors).
I'm really at a loss, what I've messed up here... especially because it's only parts of the functionality that doesn't work.
Thanks,
Stefan

Well, the error manifests differently, but no, it doesn't work in iCal.app either.
Like I said, adding, changing, deleting events works fine, just adding attendees to the events gives me 403 errors.
That is true for the Calendar-Wiki as well as iCal app.

Puzzled - parent domain user as administrator in child domain cannot add printer

I've got a bare domain at the forest with 3 users and several "child" domains. I'm trying to set it up so that the user (let's call it EA-Service) in the forest can do administrative work in each of the sub domains without having to log on to the various
domains as each domain's domain administrator. There are a handful of these domains at this time, but as we pick up more accounts (think hosting), we expect the number of domains to reach the hundreds. I don't want hundreds of domain accounts
to track.
I thought adding EA-Service to a forest group called EA-Universal and adding EA-Universal to Builtin\Administrators on each of the domain controllers would give me administrator access on each of the domains.
I spent a frustrating two days trying to add an internet printer's driver using EA-Service on one of the child domains and it kept failing (message wasn't clear). Today I said, What the Heck, logon with my domain admin account on the child domain and
try. It worked. I dropped the printer and then logged out and back in with my EA-Service account and I couldn't do it. Clearly Builtin\Administrator isn't everything on a DC.
What right, privilege, or piece of arcane magic did the domain administrator account have that the EA-Service account did not? And how can I give that special whatever-it-might-be to my EA-Service account?
How can I determine exactly what rights & privileges a particular userid on a machine has? I could then compare the two sets of rights and see what was different.
I really need to have a super-duper-administrator account to do various maintenance tasks and I don't want to have to use each domain's Admin account to do it.
Can y'all help me?

I had an entire post built that took me all day with interruptions and poof, it's gone. Rats. Here is my second attempt:
Assign permission on the resource using DL group.
This last one is the one I'm having trouble with.
I have to admint that I'm feeling very stupid about this whole thing. Everyone seems to understand it completely. I have read many posts and believe I understand them, but I'm not getting something as I've certainly not got it to work.
I have seen some excellent writeup by Ace, Awinish, Meinolf that have really helped me understand the RBAC/AGUDLP/IGDLA. This
post by Ace Fekay is one such example among others. I have read about the different group types and scopes. I have read about rights, privileges and permissions. I believe I understand them. I've worked in security since IBM's
RACF which is also RBAC.
The problem is just what permissions need to be given to DA-DomainLocal (the group to which EA-Service, the forest user, ultimately belongs) so that its members have the same abilities as DA-Service (a domain administrator account on a child domain)?
Clearly adding to Administrators on the child AD is insufficient as the EA-Service ID was directly added to it and it could not add a printer while DA-Service could. EA-Service is also a member of the Enterprise Admins group on the parent/forest domain.
What other permissions/rights/privileges does the DA-DomainLocal group (or directly, the EA-Service ID) still lack? What are the differences between the access tokens/descriptors of EA-Service and DA-Service? And how do I find out?
I believe I've seen some tool that showed them, but I can't seem to find it now that I'm looking.
I listed the NTFS permissions (via AccessEnum from SysInternals) for the entire C drive and note that Administrators is on most of them and not once did I see something like Domain Admins appear and I saw nothing to do with printers at all. The list
was very long so I could have missed it if it was there. I also used the same tool to look at the HKLM hive, but that was too large to browse through.
I have set up the group structure exactly as Awinish suggested and remain stuck at the last piece. If it was some specific resource I'd have no problem, I could add it, give it permissions/rights/privileges as needful. The problem remains is
that I don't know what those permissions/rights/privileges are nor how to discover a definitive list (I've seen some generic lists, but they don't list the exact names of the right/privileges).
I'm sure I'm just being dumb.
How do I go about discovering what permissions/rights/privileges that DA-Service has that EA-Service (via the DA-DomainLocal group) needs?
I thank all of you for helping me. I appreciate the time you are taking.

On Mac OS 10.5, can't print to Linux CUPS printing server

We attached a USB printer to a Linux server, which is CUPS1.3.8 installed.
The printer is Epson Stylus CX5900.
Printing from another Linux with CPUS is OK.
But I can NOT print from my MacOSX10.5 system.
I tried IPP, SMB, no success.
Visit the http://127.0.0.1:631 on Mac, the CUPS on Mac even can not discovery the printer shared by Linux server.
If I add added the printer as samba on MacOS, it will report
/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Filter/rastertoescp.app/Contents/MacOS/ras tertoescp failed
I see many users report printing issues on MacOSX10.5 on the Internet.
What's the matter?
As I know, MacOSX10.4 can print to printer on Linux CUPS server.

Slow down a bit and think this through.
CUPS on linux is nearly identical to CUPS on OS X - but there is no Mac-to-Mac Apple proprietary print sharing. Rather, on linux you are sharing the printer using standard printing protocols. Just like on the Mac (when using the standard protocols like Windows/SMB or IP printing), linux print queues expect postscript input. Try using a generic postscript driver from the mac.
And when you add the printer via Windows Printing or IP > LPD or IPP, you will need to know the queue name for that printer from the linux box. (one computer with one IP address can have multiple printers - so what's the additional address info to print to your desired printer? - queue name.)
