Limit Print Function via password

My dilema is this.
My son and daughter continue to print reams of items from the family machine.
I would like to have a password added to the print function.. Example being anytime something is sent to the printer a dialog box opens prompting for a password.  The print function will not happen unless the proper password is entered.
I had this ability using 10.7 but when I updated to 10.8 the password function disappeared.
I seem to recall setting this function up using 10.7 and the server software even though I was not running server.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please see my response in your other post about this issue.

  • I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I am trying to get connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer.

    I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I use for my work and I have had this printer for ever and it is one heck of a work horse! I am trying to get it connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer. I have tried to reconfigure the printer using the JetDirect menu giving it a new IP address but still no luck. If anyone could help me through this issue I would appreciate it.

    Second, seeing "connecting" and connection failed is normal. You must click on "Connect As" in the Finder window and then enter the username and password for the admin account on the other computer. That should fix things.
    Thanks for responding.
    When does clicking on "Connect As" happen in the process above?
    After step six? Seven?
    After the connection has failed?
    Is this the FInder window that shows the icon of the computer you want to copy the file from?
    You should see "Connect As" in the Finder near the top right of the window as shown below:

  • USB Shared Printers (Full Printing Functions)???????

    Hi All
    Not sure if this is the proper place to ask this question, but here goes.
    I have 4 macs, 1 Intel, 1 G5, 1G4 and 1G3 all running the latest system software except for the G3 (10.3.9) I have 3 printers, all HP that I am trying to share through USB Printer Sharing. I have all of them connected via a USB hub to the G3 with Printer Sharing on. But that is not the question, because I can get them to print no problem, but I lose all of the advanced printing functions of each. For example, paper type, quality, etc.
    Did I do something wrong, can I get them to work? Or is it just a fact of Printer Sharing?
    As a side note, when hooked directly to my main computer (via USB with all drivers loaded) all printing functions work just fine.
    Thanks in advance for your responses.
    MacBook Pro 17   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  
    Imac G5 20   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    Make sure that all of the other machines have the same versions of the printer drivers as the sharing machine. That may help.

  • My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
    Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation.

  • Why does print function in Preview with Lion OS not work?

    Since upgrading to Lion, the print functionality on Preview does not work.  When you select Print, the rainbow wheel of misfortune appears and I have to force quit Preview after a while. The print window does not even appear to select a printer (I have multiple print drivers and drivers installed).
    All other aplications print nornally as before the upgade.

    Hi,
    After upgrading the EPSON drivers to version 2.8 under Lion, I now have an issue when printing PDF's with preview. Some text will not be printed, which is very odd. I have an Epson ALC2800 connected via ethernet, and I can successfully print the same documents from my windows 7 PC, or even from Acrobat reader on my MBP.
    So, it seems that the issue is present in Preview, or at the least in the way, it prints. I hope someone can help me with this, because I use preview all the time (and I quite like the functions which are not present in Acrobat Reader)
    thanks in advance,
    David

  • I need a print function

    Hello,
    I have created an online form but it needs a signature form the users. Is there an option to print the filled in form?
    I really need this function.

    Ken,
    I know how to export a pfd file. But the user who signes in via my form needs to print it directly. So I need a built in print function in my form at the final step when the user answered all the fields.
    User fills in the form. He presses submit, and then he sees a button to print his signed form. So can you add a function that users can print out their filled in form? Not the persons who creates the forms.
    Hope you can help me with this!
    Regards,
    Martijn

  • How to disable print functionality in Dashboard

    Hi i want to disable the print pdf functionality in the dashboard, how to do this?
    Thanks in advance...

    I understand what you mean. I had the same problem, but I was able to limit print to whole dashboard, not request by request.
    1. You can try add logo in title of request that you would like to print. PDF and print control is setting printing of whole dashboard, not request.
    2. Or if you have more request in dashboard you can set "Collapsible" option on each request, so that user can choose which request he would like to print with logo (header). If you are using this method you must disable print option on every request, and allow only printing the whole dashboard.
    If I haven't explain in understandable way please let me know, I will try to explain it again.
    Hope it will help

  • How do I use the print function to output a numeric variable with a fixed amount of leading zeroes

    I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string.  For example if the variable is 12 the output should
    be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
    Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) .  But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
    Please help!

    >> I need to create an output from a T-SQL query .. <<
    NO! NO! In RDBMS, we have a presentation layer that handles displays. We do not ever do it in the database. This is fundamental. But more than that, the purpose of PRINT is for debugging in T-SQL and never for output.
    You are still writing 1960's COBOL or BASIC, but you want to to it in SQL.  You probably picked the wrong data type (a numeric that should be a string) and are trying to repair your design error.

    I need a basic understanding of print function.
    Please suggest.

    I have already gone through the link before. I did all the thing. Now what i want is a Print button on my View A. and when user clicks the Print button it should print the print version of my form.
    Am I clear to explain the problem?

  • Can't print wirelessly via time capsule on a windows 7 computer

    I have an epson rx580 printer that when attached to my time capsule, I can print wirelessly with no problem on my Imac however I can't get my Sony / windows 7 laptop to print properly via the time capsule... I have installed bonjour on the laptop and setup the printer with bonjour however the printer will print about a half a page and stop and get stuck until I turn it off.. I have downloaded all the latest windows drivers and the firmware to the time capsule is up to date. Does anybody have any experience with getting windows 7 to print properly on a time capsule?

    Have you plugged the printer directly into the win7 laptop and tried to print, using the current drivers. Is that successful?
    If the job is failing half way through, make sure the permissions are correct on everything and make sure you turn on guest access on the TC.
    Other than that, sorry I don't really know what is going wrong. Sometimes the issue is two way communications is failing. Try plugging the laptop into the TC with ethernet.

  • The print function on websites doesn't work in Firefox.

    I want to print information from a certain website by selecting the Print View button. That works. But when I select the Print function, nothing happens. In other words, Firefox has stopped printing from websites. Other print functions (such as Word 2007) work just fine.

    Same problem, could not print web page. Deleted HP Smart Web Print program. Print function worked after removal. Firefox 4 Beta 8

  • Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

    I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

    Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before?  If so, check your connections.

  • I can no longer print off a web page (eg Flight booking confirmation). Other printer functions are OK. Any ideas?

    My printer will no longer print off web-pages, either from the tool bar command or from the "print page" command. This has only just happened and seeems to have followed a MS up-date, but can't be sure.
    Can anyone suggest a fix?
    All other printer functions work OK.
    Many thanks.

    My printer is HP Photosmart C4650 Series. I can print from everything but the Web. I don't get an error message or anything it just will not print.
    I'm using Windows 7, it had been doing fine than it just decided to quit printing from the web.
