Duplicate printers

In Adobe reader, all networked printers are showing in the print box twice. One of the printers doesn't work when it is selected. I have confirmed there is only 1 instance of the printer installed on the machine. I noticed that one of the printers is showing in capitals and one in lower case, e.g. \\SERVERNAME\RICOH..... and \\servername\ricoh etc
So far I have tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling the network printer - same issue
Adding the printer manually - Reader closed as soon as you selected print
Uinstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader - same issue
Uninstalling the printer, deleting all instances of the printer from the registry and then readding the printer - same issue
Any thoughts?

Strangest thing...if you go to your printers and select a different default printer (while in Adobe Reader) and then switch it back to your original default printer it for some reason deletes the duplicate printer. We shut down and rebooted and it was still gone.

Duplicate Printers on Network

Does anyone know how to find source of duplicate printers on network? First I thought it was because of Mac OS X server and Windows 2003 server on same subnet, both sharing. Turned off Print services for Mac on Win2k3; still had duplicate printers. Then thought maybe someone else was sharing network printers -- looked at my own machine and realized that I was sharing printers and was unable to uncheck the box. Now I have fixed that issue and we still have duplicate printers.....still wonder if someone else has printers shared.
If users choose either "printer" or "printer1" one of them will show the correct printer model and it will print; the other choice doesn't work. The only problem comes when students, who have no admin privileges, try to print -- they can not add new printer.

Hello Roy,
With regards to the shared printers, where are you seeing them? Is it in the Printer Browser > Default Browser or is it via the Print dialog of an application? And does it say Shared Printer or the printers name? The reason I ask is that if you have a printer that supports Bonjour or AppleTalk, it will make itself visible on the network, but not with the name of Shared Printer.
Personally I haven't seen shared Windows printers displaying in the Printer Browser > Default Browser or Print Dialog > Shared Printers of an application (probably because Bonjour for Windows hasn't been installed) so I would say that if it is not the printer advertising itself then it would be one of the Mac's on the network. Finding which one could require a long process of elimination.
For the record, no admin privileges are needed on the local Mac to print to the shared printer. You need them if you want to install the printer 'locally' that connects to a network share. But the student will be able to print to the shared printer (especially if it is provided by Mac Server) without installing it locally.

Paul

Client printer lists contain numerous duplicate printers

Since upgrading our Mac OS X Server software to v10.4 (now updated to v10.4.4) the printer lists on client computers in our student computer labs (running Mac OS X 10.3.9) contain multiple duplicate copies of the available printers.
There are so many duplicates on some computers that the printer list takes a couple of minutes to open. One printer in particular, a HP Laserjet 1320, seems to appear duplicated more than the other printers but they all seem to be affected to some degree.
I have tried deleting all the duplicates but the problem just recurs. Has anyone else suffered this problem or found a fix for it - it is becoming very annoying for many of our users when they attempt to print.

Hi Phil,
Check that printer sharing is not enabled on some of the clients, check this link also

Can't turn off printer sharing in 10.4.7

I came in this morning to check on my lab computers and noticed a ton of duplicate printers on my network. I narrowed it down to a single computer, but I can't seem to turn off Printer Sharing in System Preferences. The only thing I changed recently was upgrade/install the latest version of CUPS.
Any suggestions on how I can turn off Printer Sharing? Is there a command line cmd to turn it off?

Just to make sure you didn't overlook the obvious (we all do it more often than we care to admit). Can you toggle the other services in the Sharing pane? Perhaps you just need to click on the padlock and authenticate before you can make changes.
Second thing to try. Make sure System Preferences is not open. Look in the user's Home folder/Library/Caches. Find a cache item com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. Delete this item. Log the user out and log back in. Now open System Preferences and see if you can make the changes.
Third thing to try. Here are the items that get changed in the /etc/cups/cupds.conf file when you turn Printer Sharing OFF---
line 55 becomes
ServerName 127.0.0.1
lines 453 and 454 become
#Port 631
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
line 581 becomes
#BrowseAddress @LOCAL
line 635 becomes
BrowseInterval 0
line 826 Allow From @LOCAL
is deleted and the block from line 822 through 826 becomes
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
All these changes are taken from a modification of the default cupsd.conf as supplied with the version of CUPS Apple supplies with Tiger. The cupsd.conf that comes with version 1.2.x is most likely different. You will have to do some comparison and interpretation.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Don't forget to recycle the cupsd whenever you make a change to the configuration file.
sudo killall -HUP cupsd

Need help with CUPS on 11.5.10 cu2

We are running our EBS 11.5.10 CU2 on AIX servers and printing is a major pain point as we need to define 200 printers on each server. I want to install CUPS on a remote Linux server and have all the AIX servers print to the cups server.
There is documentation available on how to setup CUPS and then print to it locally. But I need help in understanding on how will I print from the AIX server to the CUPS server, in a nutshell what should I put in the Arguments section of printer driver:
lp -c -d$PROFILES$.PRINTER -onobanner $PROFILES$.FILENAME
or do I need to change the printer definition on the OS itself ?
Please share your expertise on this. Thanks

Duplicate Adobe PDF printers won't hold page size setting

I'm running Acrobat Professional 9.1.1 and 8.1.3 on two separate Windows XP Professional SP3 computers.
We have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet that we're trying to print to PDF on A4 paper size. When printing from Excel, we select the Adobe PDF print driver, click Properties, then change the Adobe PDF Page Size setting to A4. We double-checked under the Paper/Quality tab to make sure the size stuck, and it did. When it actually finishes creating the PDF, however, it's still Letter sized. The only way to make force it to create A4 is to go into Printers & Faxes and change the default size there...which is way too much work to have to do every time we need to change paper sizes. I would think it would be possible directly within the print dialog box (otherwise, why would they bother including it there?).
I thought I could do a work-around and duplicate the Adobe PDF print driver with a different name and set the duplicate to A4 size while the regular one would be at Letter size. This works fine when I'm logged in as an administrator. If I log into my computer as a general user however, the duplicate driver shows up, but even when we go into Printers & Faxes and set the paper size to A4, the size doesn't stick when selecting that duplicate print driver when printing from Excel. The same scenario recreates itself on any computer here, whether using Acrobat 8 Pro or Acrobat 9 Pro.
Any thoughts on this?

I already described how to get rid of that months ago.
It rely upon a bit of surgerty.
ctrl + click the Pages icon to get the menu item "Show package contents"
Navigate in the package to open the
<startupVolume>:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:
folder.
Then, ctrl click the template of your choice .
You will reach two files :
index-iso.xml.template
and
index-trad.xml.template
Duplicate both of them for safe.
Delete the file entitled
index-iso.xml.template
then rename
index-trad.xml.template
as
index-iso.xml.template
As the computers are dumbs, yours will be fooled and will use the file named index-iso.xml.template whose contents will be the index-trad.xml.template one.
Apply the scheme to every template which you really use.
If I remember well, I wrote a script applying this process to every templates delivered in the box but I'm too lazy to search for it.

Problem with duplicate and/or outlined fonts in Macintosh

If you are using Frame for Macintosh and you find you have duplicate Arial and/or Times New Roman fonts, or, if these fonts show up on the screen as outlines, the problem may be that you have the 2.9x versions of these fonts, the latest as of this writing (31 August).
You can find older 2.60 versions on the Apple OS 9.2 Install CD, deep in a Microsoft Internet Explore install folder (a Sherlock search will find them).
DEAD LINK, LEFT HERE FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES: In case you're interested, you can find the 2.9x versions at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/download/office2001/fontsupdate.asp. The page says "New Apple Macintosh versions of Times New Roman (2.91) and Arial (2.90) This update includes a fix for a problem that prevented certain characters from being printed on PostScript level 3 printers", so I'm hesitant to say that you should not use these newer fonts at all.

Problem with multiple instances of shared printers being installed on client computers when the spooler service is started

Hello,
We have Windows Server 2012 and clients using Windows 8. We've been having some printer problems for awhile now that I haven't been able to figure out for the life of me. The main problem is the fact that printers are installed on computers automatically
once the drivers are installed. The side-effect of multiple instances of each printer showing up is very annoying but I suspect fixing the initial problem will resolve this secondary one.
Here is the rundown:
We add the shared printers on logon to the clients using the GPO thus installing the drivers locally.
Whenever the spooler on the client is restarted with the drivers installed, all of the
shared printers that were previously installed get duplicated 5 more times (for a total of 6 instances of each shared printer) on the "Devices and Printers" page. This happens
all the time.
Removing them only fixes the issue temporarily, as soon as the spooler or computer is restarted, it seems these shared printers are somehow found on the network and the duplicates return.
Two of these printers are located on different clients, installed locally and shared while the other three are all installed on a server and shared through it. The issue is the same on all of them.
Cleaning the spooler completely (registry and files from C:\system32\spool) fixes the issue temporarily as well since, as soon as the drivers are reinstalled, the issue occurs again.
I've tried many things (disabling the GPO, editing the GPO, printer shares, registry, etc.) and searched tirelessly online for a cause and solution but I'm stumped. Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this problem and how to resolve it?
Thanks for your time!
Update #1: I just tried adding the NoNetCrawling option in the registry found in this article -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320138/en-us
I couldn't find the same for Windows 8 unfortunately. I also tried disabling network discovery and all other sharing options to no avail.
Update #2: I tried isolating the computer to a different subnet and restarting the spooler and, sure enough, the issue didn't occur. This proves that the issue is network share related. Also, as soon as I change the IP back to the regular domain
subnet one, the multiple printer instances re-appeared again.
Update #3: I just tried doing the same thing but on the server where the printers are installed and shared and, sure enough, despite being in a different subnet, the issue occurred. This leads me to believe there is a setting on this server at fault.
Question is, which one?

We have deployed a brand new Active Directory domain for a customer. ALL the servers without exception are Windows 2012 R2 and all clients are Windows 8.1 32bit VDI clients.
The issue that we have is around network printers.
We are deploying 4 printers from a Windows 2012 R2 Server via the print management/Deploy Printer and assigning that to a GPO. The printers are deployed to the Computers which should mean that the users get all 4 printers which they then should be allowed
to set their default and personal settings for that printer.
Our printers are deployed like this:
1. Created security group
2. Assigned VDI computers to the security group
3. Created GPO to reflect security group
4. Modify GPO to do security filtering based on computer group membership
5. Deployed 4 x printers through Print Management to the GPO on a per machine basis
However, on the users Devices and Printers screen we are not seeing the 4 printers. For some users
they see duplicates of all 4 printers so e.g they can have upwards of 8 or more. Other users have no printers displayed whatsoever. The next time they log off or restart they then have a different amount of printers displayed.
If they try and set the default then it will set and the next time they check the default may have moved to another printer even without logging off or back on.
Now, where this gets strange is within an application such as MS Word 2013 or Notepad if they use the file and print menu the printers will be listed, even if the user has no printers displayed in Devices and Printers. If the users selects a printer then they
can then print OK.
If we check HKCU\Printers||Connections then the CORRECT 4 printers are showing as to what is being deployed via the GPO so I know that the Windows 8.1 terminals are receiving the correct printers from the GPO.
To try and correct this over the course of the week we have deployed the printers via Group Policy Preferences to the user and then the PC to no avail. Currently we are using the Print management\Deployed Printers to deploy all 4 printers to the computer via
the Computer GPO.
I believe that this issue is related to the display somehow in Devices and Printers rather than a GPO or print server issue as we can see via the registry the clients are receiving the 4 correct mentioned printers as shown in the registry.
FYI: We only have around 30 users and all users are getting this problem. All users are receiving the same GPO's and have the same few apps installed, Office 2013, Adobe Reader etc.
What we want is for the computers to receive all 4 printers. All users should be able to use all 4 printers but the user should be able to select their particular default, depending where they are located or what they are printing that particular day. Their
particular default should persist after reboot. (We have 2 x Copiers and 2 x HP Laserjets) All users have redirected documents and desktop but the rest of the profile is on the VDI and persists after their reboot. The profile is not roaming as the user is
assigned a particular VDI.
After a week of scratching our heads with this we are open to suggestions and any would be appreciated.
We have tried following the issues on this thread to no avail either as they still return.

Cannot install printers

I have a new Dell computer and a new model HP Pro 400 color laserjet printer. I crashed the computer during the HP software installation. I know what caused the crash so that is no problem. The software automatically uninstalled. Now I cannot
add almost any printer getting:"Unable to install printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000003EB)". By saying almost any printer, I mean I can go to Add Printer, select almost any manufacturer, select almost any model, select LPT1 or an IP port
(doesn't matter), and I get the error. The only exception is that I can install any PostScript printer. I can duplicate this problem on multiple computers as long as I get the right circumstances. I can probably fix this by reinstalling Windows, but I would
like to know what HP software changed, and I would like to fix it. I feel like this could be an easy fix if I only knew where to look. I've done all the usual things. I forgot to say that it looks like the drivers install, at least they show up in Printui
/s. I can delete the drivers. I called HP, they remoted in, and said the problem is in Windows because it will not install other printers. This is driving me crazy looking for a solution. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

This steps do work well for me.
Do them at your own risk.
Backup registry before you do anything!!!!
Stop "Print Spooler" service first
Then base on your platform delete all keys below the version-3
for 32 bit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3
for 64 bit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3
go to the folder "3"
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
rename it to "3.old"
Start the "Print Spooler" again and install your printers

Mac OS 10.4.10 Update and Lost Printers

I did the software update and also tried the combo update. My hp LaserJet 1300 and Epson Photo R220 were lost and when I tried to add them via the Printer SetUp Utility I would get an error. What is funny is the printers were in my user library printer folder. So I've reverted back to 10.4.9 as I had a duplicate boot hard drive. The funny thing is that my Mac Book Pro did not go through the same issue. Any ideas.

Where are the «latest cups»?
I cannot print from 4.10 for 4 days now.

Duplicate 'invisible' photos are being created when I download from camera

Hi all,
Recently spotted a weird thing happening when I download images from my Nikon D200. I use Image Capture, but not sure if that's the problem. Hopefully you guys can help.
Basically, when burning a DVD of images for a friend, I noticed that if I dragged over the folder that contained the downloaded images, a new disc was created in Toast, and the disc size matched the size of the folder as seen in the Finder. However, if I created a blank disc and just copied over the folder contents themselves, not the actual folder, the disc size was 1.5GB smaller.
So, I fired up TinkerTool and turned on Invisible Files in the Finder, and was shocked to discover that throughout my hard drive, in the folders I download photos into from my camera there are duplicate invisible 'photos' with a period at the start of their name (rendering them invisible) that are the size of a full high res photo each - essentially doubling the size of the folder. If I delete a photo in the Finder, it's invisible counterpart doesn't get deleted with it - so what the heck are they? They're taking up GB upon GB upon GB of space on my drive and I can't even see them unless I use TinkerTool.

I am not a software engineer, but I doubt if these are left over temp files.
More than likely, capture keeps both - the original and the colour managed files. Why hidden, no idea. Maybe it's the camera telling it to do so, maybe some software can "see" both depending on the colour profile selected. Maybe, indeed it's a bug in the software. The best way to find out is to send a bug report and Apple will answer.
If you are using the Spyder you should not colour manage the images at all.
the only profile you should use it the Spyder one.
Colour profile is basically a "translator" of RGB colour values, which displays (and prints) the images with a specific "colour shift".
Each time you acquire an image there is an error built in into the image (no device is perfect), then when displayed on a screen, this screen will introduce another colour shift, then the printer will shift the colours again, and you may end up with wrong colours in the output; and that's where the calibration and colour profiling comes in.
Spyder will scan your screen and adjust it so that the colours are as true as possible. If will not fix any of the camera problems, but at least on a screen you get exactly the colours that the camera took.
(Calibrating a camera is normally not needed, but it can be done too.)
Now, if your screen in Spyder'ed (?) then any software you use to edit the shots in should be set to use the Spyder colour profile, otherwise, you'll not see the true representation of your colours.
When it comes to printing... don't even get me started Most commercial printing joints will supply you with their machine's profile, for home printers - trawl the Internet for the profiles or spend A LOT of money on print calibration.
I did check and I have no hidden files, I do not ask Capture to colour manage my shots.
I also never shoot JPEGs, RAW only. Later if I know I don't want an image for editing, but want to keep it, I dump it to a JPG and delete the RAW.
A silly question here, why not use the Nikon's provided software to download the pix?
Hope that helps a little.

Printers removed from workstation and readded by themselves- policy should not be running

We are currently ins a state of upgrading all our netwrae 6 servers to
netware 6.5 and our zen from 4.01 to zen 7.
While we have most of our netware serveres up to 6.5, the one that has
zen 4.01 is still a newtare 6 server.
Our printers are mostly HP4200's and we just migrated all of them to
the Novell Gateway from the "Unsupported HP Gateway" a few weeks ago.
WE have windows 2000 workstations.
We still use the NT computer printer policy since our server was
migrated from zen 3.2 to 4.01...
This is how we get our printers to the workstations
the printers are added to the NT computer printer policy so when the
user's machine starts up, it reads the policy and deploys the proper
printers. We then have apps that are set to force run the first time
the user gets the printers and those apps build the printer.
This has been working fine since 2003
What's happening and it did not start till about a week or two
ago.....
while a user's machine is up and running, they attempt to print
something and it comes out of the wrong printer or can't print at all
because the printer tray settings are gone...
what it appears is happening:
When you manually delete a printer that was deployed by zen and then
restart the machine or run the printer policy, it redeploys the
printers, but since the tray apps have already run, they don't deploy
again.... this creates an "unbuilt printer"
Since the printers are all unbuilt and the default printer may be the
wrong one, when the problem ocurrs, it appears as though all the
printers are being removed and then readded, changing the default
printer and also unbuilding them since they would have to be deleted
in order to be readded to appear unbuilt.
The policy doesn't appear to be running, so I don't know how this is
happening on a running workstation.
Is there a way to determine without watching a PC all day long to see
if the policy or something is running without cause to determine
whether it actually is Zen running a policy to redo the printer policy
when it's not supposed to....
I know this is confusing, but there really doesn't seem to be an easy
way to explain this...
I should also add, this problem seems to affect one Xerox DC3535 we
have that also uses the Novell gateway.
Did upgrading to Netware 6.5 also upgrade the Novell gateway and could
this cause this problem?
Any ideas what I can check?
Thanks
Tony
