IP Based Location Printing

Hi all
I'm new at this whole IP Based Location Printing thing... 
I'm currently managing a small school's network. They've got 3 printers on IP. All printers are shared via the domain PC (running the DC). 
One printer is in the Computer Lab, the other in the Staff Lab, and the other one in the Library. 
I came across the problem the school has. Students are printing to other printers on the network, which they shouldn't be doing. The computer teacher and I have no control over printing now. 
I was wondering, how do I set up location based printing, so that if the student is logged onto a Library PC, that he/she can only see the Library Printer and not the other 2 printers, and so on for the other locations.
Our network works via vSpace nComputing devices, with Terminal Services. We run Windows Server 2008 R2 as an operating system. 
Can anyone please help me with a tutorial or guide to set up location based printing? 

Hi Mafia_ManA,
Sorry for my delay.
Based on your description, it seems that printers were deployed via group policy. Would you please let me confirm
whether they deployed via
TCP/IP Printer Item in GPP? If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Meanwhile, please check if you have navigate to the security tab on printers and assign correct permissions
to corresponding users.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
Hi Justin
We currently add/delete printers on Print Management... Should I not use Print Management and rather use the GP TCP/IP method (as your link describes)... If I should use the GP, should I add the Printers under the Printer Pointing Permission Policy?

  • Reminders based location not working

    Can't set up a reminder based location on my iPod.This option does not appear when I make a reminder.I cam only set it up to remind me on a date and time but not on a location.PLEASE HELP.
    P.S I have an iPod Touch 4g and running iOS 5.

    I think it's disabled for iPod Touch and iPad because Apple want us to buy their iPhones. Shame on them.

  • Unable to locate printer. Brother MFC-J200 CUPS

    Hi, I installed cups and the printer's drivers and I can configure the printer. But, when I try to make print the test page, I get this error: Unable to locate printer BRW9CD21E90F93E.local". and I looked in the wiki and on different forums, tried different methods to solve this but I still can't print anything because it can't locate it. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    You're not going to find that file. That's BRW + 12 digit hex code + .local. The hex code is likely random for each print job. It was likely never created in the first place.
    That PKGBUILD has a bunch of errors. Ask the maintainer to fix it. If you would like to be able to discuss the package intelligently you can compare it with my PKGBUILD for the brother-mfc-j870dw. Here are some of the more glaring errors.
    * The cupswrapper generator can be run in build() which eliminates the install and the forgotten uninstall.
    * No uninstall section as found in the debian package. My package was able get pacman to do all the work and do away with the install completely.
    * Allows the installer to run the init scripts. Fortunately they aren't there anyways. cups doesn't need restarting to see new printers.
    * Left in the installer that modifies /etc/printcap and fixed it to use /etc/printcap. I see the word .local here so this might be the source of your error.
    * ldd shows that the executables do not use libstdc++5. No go for 64 bit users unless the 32 bit v6 is already installed.
    * The RPM is no better or worse than the DEB, except that RPM is directly supported by pacman and does not require yet another AUR download.
    * Forgot dependency on ghostscript
    * || return 1 should be removed. makepkg always has this flag set. This PKGBUILD must be ancient.
    There's probably more but I'd need to fix the PKGBUILD to find them all. I'm fortunate that I started with a much better PKGBUILD than this one.

  • Rule based location substitution:

    Hi,
    We have the following scenario:
    Material  : X
    Location : A ->B -> C  (B is a substitute of A and C is a substitute of B)
    ATP position      A = 2
                               B = 2
                               C = 2
    Sales Order of 10 raised at A : Location substitution happens and partially confirms sales order with 6 quantities.
    Therefore new ATP position is as below
              A = 0
                               B = 0
                               C = 0
    Now we want to give confirmation(of 4 quantities) based on external lead time to vendor. This will be based on source-list in R/3.  The PO  to vendor can be based on any of the location based on  source-list. i.e. it can be from A,B, or C. The source list is dynamic and can change based on business decision.  i.e today  the PO plant can be A. It can change tomorrow and be B.
    What is the best possible way to model the scenario?
    The constraint is that we are not allowed to change the checking rule.
    Regards
    Sameer

    Hi Sameer,
    Your scenario is rules based location substitution and then MRP based upon source list.
    No matter whether plant A or plant B or C  comes on line item , demand should be placed on plant suggested by source list.
    I think you can control it using source list field MRP "1     Record relevant to MRP"  and planning Plant.
    Example : sales order line item plant is A and in source list planning plant is B then , PO will be created at plant B.
    Then it will be a two step MRP  process:
    1.P.O from Plant B to vendor
    2. STO from plant B to A.
    Thanks

  • Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

    Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

    I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
    Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Yosemite Mac Can't Locate Printer

    I just got a new Macbook Pro last month. I am using a HP ENVY 4500 printer and occasionally, when I try to send a print job to the printer, it gets stuck in the "Connecting" stage, then when I wait long enough, I get the "cannot locate printer" message. I then restart my Macbook Pro and everything is fine again. When I only got this error once, I thought it might have been some minor glitch but this has happened twice now. Any ideas what could be causing this? Could this be a fundamental hardware issue or am I being overly paranoid?

    Thank you so much for the assistance! I will definitely try the steps you mentioned when I encounter the issue again. Just as another update, I have tried turning my printer off and back on again to no success... It seems like restarting the Mac was the only solution so far. Also, just to be very specific with the issue, I will describe the events: (1) I sent a print job to the printer and it just says, "looking for printer" for a while. (2) I then get a message saying that the mac is unable to locate the printer. (3) I unplug the USB and re-plug it again and try again (when I do this, it seems like the printer is detected, but when I try to print, it loads for a while then again says that the printer is unable to be located). (4) I turn the printer off and back on and the same issue from (3) happens. (5) Finally, I restart the computer and send the print job and everything is fine again.  I just want to make sure that there's nothing wrong with my Mac and that this sounds more like a software/incompatibility issue! How likely do you think that this is an issue with the hardware?

  • CUPS unable to locate printer

    Up until this morning our two iMacs (one on 10.5, the other on 10.6) were able to print OK to our Magicolor 2300DL.  Not any more. The printer keeps automatically going into pause on both iMacs.  Looking in the console log shows 'CUPS unable to locate printer'. Both iMacs and 2300DL have been power-cycled. The printer can be browsed to quite happily which to my mind suggests that it is there on the network.  I have removed the printer and re-added it. I have reset the printer system. Then re-added the 2300DL.  The printer will happily print a test page from its own panel.
    Digging around a little suggested that perhaps Bonjour was not locating the printer. So I ran Bonjour Browser and did not see any print services displayed.  Thought I was onto a solution (although why both iMacs should fail seemed strange).
    To double-check I fired up my G4 (running 10.5) and that prints quite happily to the 2300DL.  So I ran Bonjour Browser and to my surprise got exactly the same listing as I got on my iMac.
    So now I am really confused and not sure where to go next. I even power-cycled the router!

    In the absence of any suggestions, I have found a workaround and which I post here for the benefit of others. I was able to add the 2300DL ...using the HP JetDirect option.  Seems to work OK

  • Printing w/Leopard & AD-based Windows Print Queues:

    For those interested, I have written an overview of printing in Leopard 10.5.0 to Windows print servers (published queues Active Directory). Your mileage may vary. This document contains the good the bad and the ugly.
    Objective:
    Get Leopard based Macs to print to AD published SMB print queues hosted on Windows 2003 print servers. Sounds easy, huh?
    Overview:
    Print Servers:
    Windows 2003 print servers.
    Printers:
    All the printers in my test were all new HP network b/w printers or network MFP b/w printers. All of them were less than 2 years old. None of them were consumer-grade home USB printers.
    Mac Clients:
    My test clients were Intel MacBook Pros and Intel iMacs running 10.5.0 Leopard. All of them had user AD accounts and all Macs were bound to AD using Directory Utility (or dsconfigad)
    The AD clients have a unique naming convention at my company. In my environment we use the initials of the person for their login name (SAM). Example:
    Real “human” Name: “Stephen Paul Jobs”
    Long Active Directory Name: “Steve Jobs”
    Short Active Directory Name: “spj”
    “Legacy” NT Names: “domain\spj”
    Full domain name (used for email etc): “[email protected]”
    (you get the idea...)
    Note: My Mac clients are not in an Open Directory domain. No “Magic Triangle” in this environment. Pure AD for the sake of this example. I am not managing the Mac clients via MCX in this scenario.
    Print Protocols:
    All the print queues hosted on the print servers were standard SMB/CIFS print queues. The syntax (UNC) looks like this:
    smb://print_server.domain/queue
    (This syntax is invisible to most users printing to AD-published printers (or any network based printer really) . Most users will have no idea what protocols are being used.)
    Procedures:
    Part 1: Set up a new printer from an existing AD-published print queue:
    From the Apple menu select “System Preferences...” (or launch it from /Applications). The Printer Setup Utility app no longer exists. Apple has discontinued it fro various reasons.
    Click on the Printer & Fax pane.
    Click the “+” button on the left. This will launch the Apple Printer Browser (called “AddPrinter”, and lives in /System/Library/CoreServices), which looks similar to the previous browser in Tiger. The Printer Browser by default will usually show network printers vai Directory Services (AD/OD etc) as well as Bonjour printers and Mac OS X based shared printers – if they are shared via IPP and LPR under certain circumstances).
    Select the desired AD-published print queue you want to print to by highlighting it in the browser list and clicking the “Add” button. (Note: Print queues published via Active Directory will show up as “Open Directory” printers, even though this is not 100% technically correct.)
    Before the queue will be added, you will be prompted to authenticate as a local administrator. If you are not an admin you are screwed. Enter your name and password.
    Once the print queue is added, it will show up on your Mac in several ways (barring any bugs – see below). Here are the ways to tell if you have added the print queue successfully:
    A The new print queue will now be displayed in the Print & Fax system pref pane (but not always – see below).
    B You will see a printer proxy application in ~/Library/Printers/ which corresponds to your new print queue. This is the print monitor app that will show up in your Dock when you print to the queue.
    C You can see the new print queue via the CUPS admin page at http://localhost:631/printers.
    D You can see your new print queue from the Terminal by typing this command: “lpstat –v” (type “man lpstat” for more info on the lpstat and related commands)
    E You can also see your printers by launching an print-enabled application such as TextEdit or Safari and printing a page. You will be presented with Leopard’s new print dialog box (which now includes a print preview pane). From the “Printer” drop-down menu you can see all of your printers. You can add a printer from here too (which takes you to the steps listed above)
    (of course, most end users will only use option A listed above. The other options are more abstract and complicated)
    Now that the AD print queue has been setup on your Mac, you can print to it (maybe).
    Part 2: Printing to an AD-published print queue:
    Open a document you want to print.
    Choose “Page Setup...” from the File menu if you need to configure the job. (Optional)
    Choose “Print” from the File menu.
    From the Print dialog box, choose the desired print queue from the Printer menu
    Click the Print button.
    You will need to authenticate with a valid Active Directory username and password. You don’t have to have administrator credentials, but you have to verify that you are a domain member. In my environment, my Windows print server doesn't require authentication, but for some reason Leopard or CUPS makes you authenticate. (See below). Not only is this a major PIA, but the authentication dialog box itself is formatted to include the wrong credentials format for authentication in the first place.
    Volia! Done. Easy huh? Not really. Read on for the ugly stuff.
    My Complaints and Caveats:
    OK, so here’s where I vent, complain and scratch my head. Join in on the fun.
    Sometimes shared print queues don’t show up in the Print & Fax system preference pane after they have been added. I have no idea why. The local CUPS admin page (http://localhost:631) on my Mac test clients can see the connected queues, and the queues show up in ~/Library/Printers. The “lpstat –v” command shows the connect queues too. But for some reason, sometimes network print queues that I have previously setup (and use regularly) don’t show up in the Leopard Print & Fax preference pane. Local USB printers always show up fine for me.
    2. When challenged to authenticate a print job to a Windows print server (AD), the Mac’s authentication dialog box pre-populates the AD user’s name in the “Name” field incorrectly. Example:
    A user named “Joe Is Cool” (short name “JIC”) prints a job to the print server. The print auth dialog box challenges him for a name and password. It is pre-populated already with the name of “Cool, Joe”. When a valid AD password is entered, the job is rejected (it fails authentication and gets put on hold – which is hard to see this unless you explicitly look at the Printer.app proxy tool in the Dock). However, if the user replaces “Cool, Joe” with his official AD short name of “JIC” and then enters his AD password, the print job is accepted and printed. I wish Apple didn’t try and pre-populate the dialog box! Can this be avoided or prevented?
    In my environment, my Windows print server doesn't even require authentication, but for some reason Leopard or CUPS makes you authenticate. I’m working with my Windows administrators to figure this out. It will only accept user names with the short name format. It will not accept long (full) names or NT legacy names.
    3) The Printer Setup Utility app, which used to live in /Applications/Utilities, no longer exists. Apple has discontinued it for various reasons. Mainly security and simplicity. I wish it was still available, but the system pref pane works fine (well, usually)
    4) Active Directory-based print queues will show up in the OS X Printer Browser as “Open Directory” printers, even though this is not 100% technically correct. Why can’t OS X tell the difference between OD queues and AD queues and label them as such?
    5) Leopard has locked down the ability to add network printers. You now must be a local administrator in 10.5 or later. I understand the importance of this security measure in certain environments, but why can’t there be an option in the Security preference pane to “Allow non-admins to add printers”? This would make me very happy.
    6) Setting the default printer and resetting the CUPS system now require you to right-click in the left side of the Print & Fax pane. There no longer is a button or menu option to do this.
    7) Sometimes after a job has printed the printer proxy app (from ~/Library/Printers) stays in the Dock and won’t go away.
    Conclusion
    Please chime in on your experiences, bugs, opinions and comments.

    I have noticed several of the changes in our system when printing to an AD printer from a Leopard client. I have one issue that is pretty odd and I'm not sure what is going on. When printing an Excel worksheet, I get prompted for AD credentials. After submitting the job, the print queue says "Waiting for Authentication", I have to press the Resume button and then the authentication dialog pops up. I successfully authenticate (My auth dialog is populated correctly and the remember to keychain option is selected) and the job prints fine. If I print the same document again (without closing the worksheet or Excel), or any other worksheet, I still have to reauth. I can print just fine to the same printer from Textwriter and I do not need to authenticate. Weird...

  • Conditional Formula based on Print Number

    Post Author: DigYerOwnHole
    CA Forum: Formula
    Hi,Does CR have a way to base formulae on the print copies?Here's my situation:Using Crystal to print off sales invoices. The invoices have to be printed three times. On the first copy the invoice has to state "Original", on the second copy the invoice has to state "Duplicate", and on the third copy the invoice has to state "Triplicate". In all other ways the rest of the report is identical.So, I'd really like a formula to handle this change in text based on the print copy, problem being I don't know if CR has a notion of 'Print Copy #' Aside from using pre-printed and collated stationery, the only method I've found is to create the three invoice reports and insert them as sub-reports to a main report. However, this method has given rise to some horrible pagination problems that I have been unable to resolve.I'm using CR11 ThanksDigs

    Thanks. Guess I'll need to take a further look in to the pagination issues I currently have.Would be awesome if Crystal carried this type of functionality though.

  • Unable to locate Printer

    My (local usb connected) printer stopped printing half way through a document. I received an error saying to check the connections. (which seemed to be fine)
    After disconnecting and reconnecting all the connections in all sorts of patterns my computer still is not able to locate the printer.
    Console is showing errors like this:
    DeviceAddedCallback(): iterator=1803, retain count=2
    device 4a03 (IOUSBHIDDriver) found.
    I restarted my computer and checked Console once more and the same error was present.
    My HP Deskjet shows all signs of being on, it prints the sample page produced when holding in the paper button. (It does this without being connected to the computer)
    The printer driver seems to be present. It's still in the list of printers.
    But the printer "Utility" doesn't show any local printers when the printer's connected.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Hi Cabbitsu,
    Try going into the printer utility and deleting your printer then re-adding it.
    System Preferences>Print & Fax>Printing>Set Up Printers will get you to the Printer List. Select your printer and hit the delete button. Then hit the Add button, and add your printer back.
    Success? Status??

  • IBook G4 not able to locate printer driver via bluetooth

    Please help! My computer can't locate my new printer driver via bluetooth, only with the USB cable connected. I'm positive it's not the printer because my boyfriend's computer located the printer. My operating system is Mac OS X (10.5.5). I've never used the internal bluetooth on this computer before.
    Thanks for any advice!

    Hello eeoorhee,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with connecting the printer over the wireless connection.
    I have a few steps that we can take to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I also suggest that you do an uinstall of the software and drivers and reinstall.  Please click on the link that I have added for when The Printer is Not Found During Wireless Installation.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thank you for your time.

    I thought I had solved the problem when I came across a new HP App that specifically claimed to solve the problem people were having with iPrint: "HP ePrint Home & Biz", but that does not work either.  It gets as far as registering the App but then will not complete the verification (just will not open HP ePrintercenter.com).  But in that case I think the problem is that my printer (Photosmart C7280) does not have the eprint capability.  But it IS listed as compatible with the iPrint App (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/hp-iprint-app-help-not-finding-printer/m-p/827... )
