Clients cant add printers

Printers are installed on the server. DNS, OD working fine.
Print service is turned on and started. The main printer is listed in the queue, and IPP, LPR (with Bonjour) are turned on. The client computers "see" the printer via Bonjour, but when I click Add, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. client-error-not-authorized"
Also, in Workgroup Manager, if I select a user and try to manage their Pinter preferences, there are no printers that show up in the Available Printers list.

Nathan,
After researching this problem for 2 and a half months, I found that there is no solution. You simply cant connect printers to OSX server and have clients add them. Sorry.
Our small business converted our server to a be simple OSX client last month, and we just shared the directories we need on the network, and use it as such. OSX client handles the sharing of the printers for us (almost) without issue.

  • Reset printers on macbook pro OSX 10.6.8 and cant add printers

    Accidently reset printers and now my list in "add printers" is gone.  Hit the + and the next screen doesnt show anything and it will not let you add.  Time machine is not active.  The printer folder is listed in the Library file with all the contents.  How do you get the printer & fax to recognize the printers in the printer folder?
    Thanks!

    Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
    Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
    In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
    Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
    Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

  • Cant add new printers

    Hi,
    I've had my macbook for about 3 mnths now. I never got around to setting up my personal printer to this - but I plugged in a brother usb printer a mnth ago and started printing with no problems. Now i'm trying to share with a pc printer, only during all of this i have discovered that i cant add any new printers at all.. Please help!!

    Hi Jami,
    It's not quite clear when you say "share with a pc printer" as to what you mean.
    Is this printer hooked to the PC? If so did you add it on the PC to Printer Sharing?
    If Printer sharing is ON on the Mac you must turn it off & reboot, as it'll only see Printers directly connected to the Mac.
    Or are you trying to share the Mac's Printer with the PC?
    Might see iFelix...

  • Forms 6i, open default mail client and add attachment to message

    Hi,
    I would like to use some functionality in my forms application. I want call some action, that opens default mail client in windows platform and add some attachment to message. I want to do this for my reports. I am exporting reports to PDF files. I am using oracle forms / reports 6.0.8.12.1 version. And I cant use build-in PDF export functionality, because exported PDF files are in old PDF version and I have problem with Czech charakters. So I am using my own virtual PDF printer for printing reports. A now I would like to send report as mail attachment. I know that there is this functionality in report preview. When I click button with letter image (showed on screenshot at http://img20.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00067_screen_122_899lo.JPG) the default mail client is opened in this is created new messages with report (eps) in attachment.
    That is what i need. Only open default mail client and add own attachment to message.
    I found only one solution for Outlook, but I need open default mail client (for example Mozilla Thunderbird etc.)
    Can You help me? Or send some solution how it is solved in report previewer?
    Thank you.

    1. Open Regedit as Administrator 
    2. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\ key. 
    3. If you are on a 64-Bit machine, browse to the "Windows x64" sub-key (else "Windows NT x86") 
    4. Under the "Print Processors" sub-key DELETE ALL THE SUB-KEYS EXCEPT "winprint" key 
    5. Start the Print Spooler service. 
    6. Test to see if you can Add a printer.

  • Is it possible to remove Adobe PDF 8.0 from the list in "Add Printers"

    When I add a printer on my system, there is a printer named "Adobe PDF 8.0" on the Add Printer list. I believe that this is a remnant left over from previous versions of the operating system (from Leopard or so). Can this item be deleted from this list? It isn't functional at all, and I'd rather not have it cluttering up the list. I've searched through the system looking for anything that could be causing this item to be listed there, but there appears to be no .PPD file or any entry in a .plist file that I can find. I've seen other people asking about this printer, but more from the perspective of "how to get it working" or "how do I print to PDFs now?". That isn't my question. I just want to nuke this item from my "Add Printers" list like it never happened. Thanks for any leads you can offer.
    See screen shot below if you are confused as to what I am talking about. The top "Adobe PDF 8.0" is from my computer. The second one is something someone is incorrectly sharing from their computer (which I will remove as soon as I get access to it).

    I tried manually removing some files but still the Adobe PDF 8 appeared in the Add Printers > Default view.
    I then ran the Adobe Acrobat uninstaller and this successfully stopped the Adobe PDF 8 "printer" from appearing. Thankfully the Uninstaller also created a log file that I have posted below showing all that was removed from the Mac. Note that you probably don't have all the files listed, especially if you have already removed Acrobat 8 from this Mac, but if you remove the files that are remaining then this will be sure to stop the printer from appearing.

    -I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
    -I have tried going to file<add file to library
    Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
    Any and all help appreciated.

    In addition to Mike's suggestions,  you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

  • I have original ipad and however I cant add my phone number to lmessage it will only take an email address . Is this correct ?

    I have original ipad and however I cant add my phone number to lmessage it will only take an email address . Is this correct ?

    I copied this from an Apple Support article.
    If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    This is the website for the support article.

  • Cant add folder to library

    I just reset my computer and re installed itunes 11 and I cant add folder to library but can add files but have 5k songs and that will be a PAIN, and I looked on google and apple for 3hrs now and still cant find a solution. I been having a ipod and itunes for about 6 years now and never had a problem like this.

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open. Other familiar features have been hidden but can be revealed...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    Use Edit > Preferences > Show list views for all media to do just that
    From iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
