Cannot Print to Windows Printer after Security 2008-002 update

I am unable to print to a Canon image runner 3380 printer on a Windows network after installing Security update 2008-002. Whenever I try to print I get the following error: On Hold Authentication Required. I can click on the Resume button in the print queue and a box pops up to enter my username and password. I've tried entering my user name and password but it does no good. I've also tried reinstalling the printers which also does me no good.
This printer is located on a Windows 2003 server that is setup as a Domain Controler.

I did some searching -- more info: This is apparently due to an upgrade to CUPS, which is the Common Unix Printing System (available to administer directly at: http://localhost:631/ ) This is the way to add a printer if you feel especially geeky.
There is another discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6914585&#6914585
about this, but apparently it is not a resolution, just a description of the problem.
So, I really don't want to deinstall the 2008-002 update, if I can help it. I already installed version 1.1, which did not resolve the issue. I would like to be able to print to my Windows-Active Directory printers without resorting to IP printing. It sounds like this is something Apple has to fix, from the discussions I read. Is this true? And if so, any ideas about how long Apple will take to fix it?

Cannot print to Windows printer using Time Capsule

Hi all,
I recently bought Time Capsule and am having some printing problems. Here's the situation:
I have a printer connected to a Windows PC and want to print to it using my Mac. Now, before I bought Time Capsule and used a cheap router this worked fine. However, now when I try to print from my Mac to the Windows PC I get the following error messages:
"Connection failed: NTSTATUS_BAD_NETWORKNAME"
"Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..."
I reckon that the Windows PC is blocking all requests from my Time Capsule. To test I've tried turning off the firewall on Windows and it's anti-virus software (Kaspersky) and still no luck.
And moving the printer to my Time Capsule is not really a solution either.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Domain Printing to Windows Print Server

Hi all,
Does anyone have some basic tips to get 10.8 clients to nicely print to windows printer shares in a domain (active directory) enviroment?
I would really like to keep my Mac's - but printing is becoming the issue.
My Macs run 10.8 fully patched and are AD bound. They login and authenticate to fileshares flawlessly.
I need to print to a Windows Server queue because all jobs are monitored via Papercut. Papercut client works well on the macs.
There seems to be two different methods to attach a printer; System Preferences > Printers > Add Printer (Default / Open Directory) or Add Printer (Windows - Domain - Servername - Printername) - both methods seem to work (sometimes)
However I often get authentication / job on hold errors, or "'yourprinter' is trying to use the printer. Type the name/password of a user in the 'print operator' group".
Yet sometimes everything works.
The last option would be to install papercut server on the mac server - and somehow join/share the databases, but I would like to try fixing the issues with printing first if possible.
Cheers
Matt

I have changed one of the labs to lpd printing - appears ok so far so will monitor it over the next few days.
The only way I can actually see its printing via ldp is using the cups interface (localhost:631)
The only issue I have now is that the print driver (Konica C360) defaults to 2-sided. This happens on PC and Mac, but is a minor annoyance compared to the inability to print.
Will let you know if its all sorted and mark as answer soon. Thanks!

Cannot find shared windows printer with NEW macbook running leopard HELP!

I just bought a new Macbook this past week. Woo Hoo. I love everything about it with the exception of file sharing and printer sharing. I have a less than one year old pc running vista that is connected to a hp 1300 series all in one printer. I can not even find this printer anywhere on the mac. i have been able to connect to my pc server via the ip address and share files this way. I am at a loss and really have no knowledge of mac. it is really disheartening, as I had way less trouble setting up windows networks for my roommates in college.
Also, as a side helper, how can I setup a shared folder that can be accessed from both the mac and the pc. I would like something that I can set on the desktop of both in order to share files better and more efficiently than connecting to a server everytime I want to do this. Please help, and explain as if I am as stupid as I appear.
Thanks.

Printing to windows printer via SMB - Printing garbled text

Hi all.
I have been working on this issue for around 3 hrs this morning and finally figured it out. Thought I'd post what I did to help others with similar issues.
Here's my set up:
I have a PC with HP photosmart printer connected to it. I've a Macbook Pro that I connect to the PC via SMB protocol for file sharing. If I wanted to print from the mac to the printer I had to disconnect the printer form the PC and directly connect it to the mac. I wanted to be able to print from the Mac to the printer via the PC. Should be that hard right as I have already successfully file shared via SMB.
Well it was a little difficult. I did many a search on here and the web and eventually found the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2231.html
So, following these steps i tried to print a single page word (office 2008 for mac) doc from the mac. Hey presto! The printer kicked into life and started...
...problem was it spewed out around 20 pages of Garbled text! I tought it might have been print jobs stacked up from the last unsuccessful attemt at doing this but no, no jobs there. Thought it might have been Word/office for mac, etc. so tried to print from Text Edit but same thing.
After hrs of screaming, F'ing & Blinding I finally figured out it was to do with what printer I had it set up on. I went into Print & Fax in System Preferences, highlighted the printer and clicked printer setup tab. In the drop down tab I selected printer model. It was set on Generic.
In the drop down list there it shows a huge selection of printers. my particular model was not there so I chose the closest thing and selected that.
After exiting all that and trying again it worked.
I'm very happy.

Hi iVirtual, what Mac OS are you running, Leopard (10.5.4) or Tiger (10.4.11)? Also, is your printer directly attached to your pc or is it a network printer directly on the local area network? One last question, do you have a firewall (like Trend Micro or Norton Internet Security) on your PC?
From my Mac running Leopard, I have no problem printing to a printer directly attached to my WindowsXP machine. However, I don't have the same luck from my Tiger Machines.
When I print to any networked printer (by that I mean printers directly attached to the network) from the WindowsXP machine with SP3, I always have to use the IP address. The printer.local name no longer works since I installed SP3.
simonparker, If your printer is directly attached to your PC using a USB cable, I don't think you'll be able to see it with the Bonjour Printer Wizard application. Since your printer is shared, you might check your WORKGROUP name on your PC. Something you might check is this:
Do you have a password on your user account on the PC? You'll probably need a password on your PC account. I don't think you can share anything if you don't have a password (I could be wrong, but it has never worked for me without a password).
On leopard, when I added the printer to the Mac I did this:
1) bring up System Preferences/Print&Fax
2) Press the + sign under the printer list, when the add window pops up, choose the "Windows" icon and you should see your workgroup name in the left list.
3) Choose the workgroup and it should populate with your machine name.
4) Select the machine name in the middle list and you should get a login and password dialog box.
5) Enter your PC's Username and Password.
6) You should see a list of shared printers in the right most list.
7) Select the printer and then select the driver.
Your printer should now be configured on the Mac. I know that I had to enter my PC's user name and password several times before I could print.

Printing to windows printer via mac - am i being stupid?

I really don't get this. I've just bought my 1st mac, a macbook pro, to replace my old windows laptop. I also have a windows pc, with an Epson USB printer attached to it, as well as the windows desktop being connect via ethernet to a netgear wireless router/modem. When i have the windows laptop i could print wirelessly via the windows desktop without problems, with the mac! no chance. I can connect to the windows desktop wirelessly so long as i connect via the finder/go/connect to server option as it doesn't show under finder/shared sidebar, but can't access the printer. I installed bonjour for windows today but running the printer wizard on the desktop doesn't show any bonjour printers, yet the printer is connected directly to the desktop via usb. Am i misunderstanding what this is all about. I just want to print from my mac, wirelessly via the PC. And yes the printer is shared.
Can anyone advise, I'm really at a loss

Not Able To Print w/ Lexmark X2600 After Recent Airport Firmware Update

Hi,
So, after the recent firmware update for the Airport Extreme (802.11n), I can no longer print to my printer share. The device is recognized in Bonjour, and I use the correct driver as I did before, but when I send something to the printer, it just reads:
"Connecting to MyNetwork.local...
There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
Now, if I connect the printer directly to my computer and set it up with the same drivers over USB, it works just fine. Can I get some support on this?

Hi,
Have you tried this?
To change the printer’s network settings:
1. Open the printer's embedded Web server.
2. Click the Networking tab. For wireless settings, click Wireless. For IP settings, click IP
Configuration.
3. Change the printer's settings to match the settings of the network, then click Finish.
4. Close the printer's EWS, then disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.
5. The control panel lights will cycle.
The previous procedure is from the Wireless Printer User Guide for your printer.
Best regards,
erico

Failed Printing to Windows Printer - no entry in error log

I cannot print to a windows printer (smb://mydomain/thePrinter). I enter my username and password when prompted for authentication, but then nothing happens. I checked the access_log and error_log, but there is no record of the failure. If I add a new printer using a bogus URI (smb://bogusdomain/thePrinter) then I see entries in the log about a failed connection. In contrast, if I use the correct domain and indicate a bogus printer name (smb://mydomain/BogusPrinter) there are no entries in the logs.
How can I determine why the windows printer is not responding?

Apparently, the System Preferences tool for adding smb printers is broken in the initial release of Lion and can be worked around by using CUPS directly.
The answer is here:

Printing doesn't work after 10.1.3 update...

We did a deployment with System Center 2010 and the majority of our workers cannot print from the reader.
The solution for now is deleting their profile. As you might imagine it's not a great solution.
We didn't had any issues with the 10.1.2 but now we do... you say the printing issue is fixed but for us the printing issue just started after 10.1.3.
Anyone found out which file \ configuration \ registry key is making this happen? We tried deleting the adobe reader folders inside the user profile but didn't solve the issue.
Thanks.

Any update to this? I have the same issue with 10.1.4. If I disable protected mode it works.
Also other users on the same machine can print the same PDF with protected mode on.

Cannot Install iTunes Windows 8 after Uninstall

I have a Windows 8 machine with all the updates, and a couple months ago iTunes stopped updating. It was running, but it just would not update. I decided to re-install it, and now I get the error below. I have used Revo Uninstaller to remove every little bit of Apple iWare (including Quicktime and Bonjour), registry keys, and traces, but still cannot install it. Please help, I have searched for weeks through the internet and have tried everything I can trying fix this problem.

VMware - I cannot logon to Windows 7 after upgrade to Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite, I cannot logon to Windows under VMware Fusion 7.0. It was working fine prior to the upgrade. The message I get when logging onto Window is,
"The User Profile Service service failed the logon.
The User profile cannot be loaded."
I'm running on a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and Yosemite itself is otherwise working fine. VMware was not running during the upgrade and re-start of the Mac. I'm stuck and need to get this resolved any help is appreciated.

I found the solution, I would have found it much earlier but just too tired and stressed from the week I guess
Anyway it is NOT a Yosemite or even VMware issue, it figures it's just a good old Windows issue that dates back to at least 2010, why am I not surprised. Probably as Windows was booting up and giving me the logon it was running anti-virus in the background and the user profile was corrupted, which means that Windows as usual was also not displaying a precise error message, just one that was close enough for Microsoft work.
The solution is easy especially if you can handle booting to Safe Mode and using Regedit, easier still if you have two user profiles in Windows even if one is just a duplicate of emergency uses, say like this. The details can be found here, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215
I was up and running within two minutes. Whew.

Trouble with printing with windows printing via spoolss

My school has network printing that worked with snow leopard but doesn't work anymore with Lion and the IT-guys don't know how to fix this issue

Get them to enable LPR (aka Unix Print Services) on the Windows print server and you can use LPD on the Mac instead of SMB to print from the Mac.
If they won't enable LPR then you may just need to remove the printer and any previous login keychain for the SMB connection and add the queue again.

Getting http printing to windows printer server to work! - IPP over HTTP

Im trying to get our macs to print to our windows print server using web printing (http). The server is setup to accept anonymous as well as domain user print requests.
when i add the printer using advanced setup > ipp over http and enter our printer url, e.g. http://ourprinterserver.mydomain.com/printers/printername
and enter our printer name in the appropriate field, select the correct driver, any file sent the printer sits in the print cue.
when i looks at the cups page http://localhost:631, I see an error that that the destination printer does not exist.
Has anyone had success?

I don't have a Windows print server, but the standard port for IPP printing is 631, so you need to specify that in the URI like this:
http://ourprinterserver.mydomain.com:631/printers/printername
(otherwise, http defaults to port 80)

Is a solo window saying "A security and stability update is available." to install FF26 really valid or is it bogus?or

Here is what the questionable window looks like:
upper left corner/across and down
ln1 (ff global logo) "Software Update"
ln2 "Update available"
ln3 "A security and stability update for Firefox is available:
ln4 "Firefox 26.0"
ln5 "It is strongly reco'd that you apply this update for FF asap.
ln6 HTML Link "View more info about this update"
ln7 (bottom of window) "ask Later" button and "Update FF" button
While entering this info the window went away!!!
Before it did i could not copy any of the text (do have screen shot however) and the link did not resolve to any web address. Looked like std FF page but NEVER seen anything like it before!
no way i was going to click anything except the close [X] button.
If it is valid, you need to remove the restrictions on it; to make it less suspicious.
If it is bogus, do you have a plugin or addon to intercept such malicious probes?
Currently using FF25.0.1; on xp/sp3
thanks

Firefox 26.0 is available for updates.
Do you get this update offered if you open Help > About?
You can find the full version of the latest Firefox 26.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here if you want to install manually:

Cannot open gh2 rw2 files after 10.7.4 update

I'm having trouble opening Panasonic GH2 raw (.rw2) files after 10.7.4 update. I cannot view them in quick view or open them in Preview.
I verfied on a another Mac running 10.7.3 - works fine; and then immediately after 10.7.4 update it does not work.
Any remedies?

I started a similar thread (before I noticed this one), and someone replied by pointing me to the helpful thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3942768?start=30&tstart=0
I tried the suggestion, and it fixed the problem for me.
You need to execute this command in the terminal (and I believe you may need to do it separately for each user on your computer):
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library
I'm not sure how the above command gets formatted, but make sure that it is all one command and that there are only spaces before and after the "-R"
If you want to understand what the above command does, check out the thread I linked to.
