How does one print to enterprise Windows print services in Yosemite? CUPS 2.0 problem?

One of my co-workers upgraded to Yosemite yesterday and it broke his ability to print to our corporate printing services (which are built around a Windows print server). Obviously, the printer discovery in the System Preferences can't find the Windows print server - that's never worked. However, we had previously been able to add a printer through the CUPS web front-end by adding a Windows printer and specifying an SMB URL in the format:
smb://DOMAIN;USER:[email protected]/QUEUE-NAME
... which worked like a charm in Mavericks. However, Yosemite has upgraded to CUPS 2.0.0 and this no longer seems to work. Print jobs enter the CUPS queue, but authentication fails and they are not accepted by the remote server.
I've consulted the CUPS 2.0.0 documentation, and there's not really anything helpful there. In fact, there's no mention of SMB / Windows printing at all in the 2.0.0 documentation. Unfortunately our campus print services does not support IPP, LP, LPR, or JetDirect as options -- just Windows printing.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Just finished testing 10.10 printing via a Windows 2008 R2 print share. I also found that when trying to add the printer using CUPS I would get an authentication error. But if I added the printer using the Windows section of the Add printer pane, then I was able to print fine.
So with you mentioning that using the Windows section of the Add printer window has never worked (which is interesting because it's always worked for me) I want to suggest another approach to adding the printer, still using the Add printer window. With this window open you can right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar. You can then drag the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Then when you select this, you can set the Type menu to "Windows via spoolss" and then enter the URL as smb://servername/sharename. Select the supporting driver and click Add to complete.
Then when you select to print for the first time using this printer you will be prompted to authenticate. Enter the account details, set the save to Keychain option and OK to send the print job.
This worked fine for me and creates the same queue as using the Windows add printer setting. Curious to hear if this gets your co-worker printing again.

  • How does one print only a highlighted portion of a document?

    How does one print only a highlighted portion of a document?

    If the App supports that, it would be in the Print dialog. Otherwise, copy and paste the section into something else to print.
    The OS doesn’t render pages to print, the App does. The App must support rendering the selection.
    You can create an Automator workflow that automates the copy/paste/print/quit functions.
    Just create an new Automator Service and make it look like this:
    The text of the Applescript is this:
    on run {input, parameters}
         tell application “TextEdit"
              print document of front window
              close document of front window without saving
              quit
         end tell
         return input
    end run

  • How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

    How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

    You need to reinstall iPhoto. To reinstall iPhoto delete the current application and, on all Macs with Snow Leopard or earlier installed, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
    HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
    or from the /var/db/receipts/  folder (10.6) .
    Deleting receipts is not necessary if your Mac came with Lion or later preinstalled.
    Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

  • HT4436 how does one print from cloudon?

    I can work on the excel and word programs but can not print from it.
    how does on do this?

    From an iOS device you need either
    1)  an airprint printer -
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    2) If yours is not listed, then the only way to print is using a computer - for example, on a Mac, get Printopia for the mac.  Then your ipad can print using airprint, Printopia intercepts the job and routes it to a printer that the Mac can connect go.

  • How does one find out the database name , service name in a database

    hi,
    how do u find out the database name , service name , SID in a database.
    Please reply.
    Thanks ,
    Regards,
    RC

    This particular information is available in the view V_$PARAMETER owned by SYS. But you can also login with Server Manager as user INTERNAL and run:
    SHOW PARAMETERS
    The entries pertaining to the naming of the database are:
    1. db_name
    2. db_domain
    3. db_name
    4. instance_name
    5. service_names
    GLOBAL_NAME is a static (not changing) Data Dictionary view which has just 1 attribute (column) called GLOBAL_NAME.
    When you run:
    select GLOBAL_NAME from GLOBAL_NAME;
    You are returned the full global name of the database, i.e. the db_name and the db_domain joined together by dot (.) For e.g. if your db_name = mgmt and db_domain = tech.co.in, then your global_name will be MGMT.TECH.CO.IN.
    Ciao.

  • How does one print to a Large Format Network Printer in Adobe Reader X?

    I have just installed Adobe Reader X on a machine that previously had Adobe Reader 9 (I had to format the hard drive so this is a fresh installation).  When attempting to print to a large format Printer (36x24) across the network I cannot change the paper size.  Despite attempting to change the paper size to a number of different configurations Adobe X will not print anything but 8.5"x11.0" (which is the default paper size on the local printer).  I have tried making the network printer the default printer and that does not make any difference.  Everything worked fine with Adobe Reader 9 but not X.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?
    Also, I can print to both the local printer and the large format network printer fine through other applications.
    Thanks.

  • How does one print a summary list of inbox messages?

    I'd like to be able to print a summary list of all or selected messages contained in my Mail 4.2 inbox. All I'm hoping for is a simple FROM / SUBJECT / DATE RECEIVED line by line summary, not unlike what one sees in the standard Mail viewer (right side window).
    Amazingly, there appears to be no easy way to do this. Selecting multiple messages and using MAIL / FILE / PRINT only results in the first highlighted message being printed in full. The same is true when one tries MAIL / FILE / SAVE AS. I also tried selecting several messages in the viewer and using EDIT / COPY; however the resulting paste into TextEdit included the entire contents of each selected message.
    Help!

    I think I can create what you want simply by launching Utilities/Grab and choosing Capture > Selection and outline the pane?
    EDIT: commandshift4 is even faster.

  • How does one print just one page of a long PDF file?

    My mac wants to print all of the pages. Don't see a way to print just one page. Since the pages are numbered 6-19 and so on, I can't enter the specific page numbers to be printed.

    Instead of going to the Print dialog, open the Pages panel, right-click the
    page you want to print and select Print Page(s).

  • How does one print selected pages of a PDF document

    I deal a lot with lengthy PDF documents and always need to print just a few pages from it. In Windows after I selected Print I could choose certain pages (e.g. 2-5,18,23, 44-46). On Leopard every time I select Print I don't get a choice and the whole document prints, wasting a lot of time, ink and paper in the process. I followed instructions from the Help file but I never get to the expanded menu that would give me that choice.
    Also, when printing from the web I am used to highlight what I wanted printed and click Print, then Selection. The only way I get it to print just what I want is by using the Grab program, capturing the selection and printing from it. Is there an easier way?
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I make my transition from Windows XP to Leopard a smoother transition. Thank you.

    Open the document. On the left of the document there should be a scrolling list of the pages of the document. Select the first page. Hold down the 'Command' key. While the 'Command' key is pressed down, select another page from that list. Repeat until you have selected all the pages you want to print. Select 'Print' from the 'File' menu. The Print dialog box which shows up should say that you want to print 'x' pages, where 'x' is the number of pages you have selected. Click on 'Print'. The pages you have selected will print.

  • How does one print using a usb cable on the mg6420?

    My Internet connection is down...need to print for new employment!  I'm using a MacBook Pro.

    As long as you already installed the drivers, when you plug in the USB cable it should automatically add a USB instance of the printer into system preferences (so, if you had the wireless version installed before, you would have 2 options now, MG6400 series and MG6400 series copy 1, or something similar). As long as you select the new instance of the printer you should be able to print via USB fine.

  • How does one install Firefox on Windows 7 for just one user, so separate users can have completely independent Firefox installations?

    I'd like to create a new user, and install firefox for that user completely separate in all respects from the existing user's installation, so that there is no interaction at all between the two installations, with separate copies of the program files as well as separate Firefox profiles.

    I was asking about how to have multiple Windows user accounts, and how to install Firefox independently for different Windows user accounts.
    Firefox does not ask if you want to install it for everyone or just the current user, unlike many programs.
    I tried switching to the newly created Windows user account, which was able to use the Firefox installed by the other user account, and installing Firefox, and although there's no indication that it's installing a user specific copy of Firefox, it is. Now the original user account sees it's installation of Firefox and the second user account sees it's installation of Firefox and no longer runs the first users installation of Firefox.
    Creating separate Firefox profiles is what I was trying to say I didn't want to do. That's why I mentioned wanting completely separate copies of the program files, not one copy of the program files running two instances simultaneously.
