lock "Print & Fax" Sys Preference user can still add printers, why?

I should add that, I click the lock icon and it shows locked, but the + sign to add a printer is not greyed out and still allows printer drivers to be installed. It then allows the printer driver to be deleted. I have tried quiting System Preferences and rebooting the system and still have the same results.

Open Directory Users can't add printers

Hi all,
I've set up my teachers on OD on OS X Server 10.5 but now when they log in, they cannot add any printers. I've tried many different things to get the lock on the Print & Fax System Pref to be unlocked by default but nothing I've tried works.
When I log into the computer as an admin, the Print & Fax is unlocked. Logging in as a user via OD locks it. I've checked to make sure that the users are not being managed via OD prefs. Even if they are the lock still appears. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
thanks!

Ah! Thanks! No wonder I cannot do this...
Unfortunately, the printers are all USB shared printers connected to computers on the network. Is there anyway to preset these printers? They don't show up in the Print manage settings at all.

I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active. Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue.

This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
Hope this helps.

Lync 2013 disabled user can still login.

Ok. so we have this weird behavior and it's been driving us crazy for over a week. We have a lync 2013 deployment on a forest with several child domains.<o:p></o:p>
In the middle of the deployment, we noticed that our changes to the user characteristics were not being updated. Eg: we enable or disable
enterprise voice, no changes. We change the sip URI, log out, login, nothing, no changes. And we noticed that if we disable the user from Lync server (from the lync controlpanel), the user can still login. We assumed some lag on AD replication, but no, a user
can still login after a week!<o:p></o:p>
The deployment is a standard Lync 2013, single FE, with a single Edge server. We have enabled Enterprise voice, changes to the enterprise voice routes are
working, if we enable or disable a route we can see it on the client, but changes on the dialplan are not reflected.<o:p></o:p>
I can’t find any reference to this behavior. I know if I disable a user from the AD he can still signing into Lync, but this is different, we are disabling
the user from Lync server. We even removed the user completely from Lync and he can still use it as normal.<o:p></o:p>
We checked the user using adsiedit and the msrtcsip-userenabled is set to false, we even voided the certificate via lync console. Still able to use it.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Fabio Ricci.

Hi,
Please check if there is any error message on FE Server when the issue happen.
It seems to be the issue of CMS replication.
Please check CMS replication status by running Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus.
If CMS replication not update to the latest version, run Invoke-CsManagementStoreReplication.
If the issue persists, please check Lync Server update, make sure Lync Server update to the latest version, and then test again.

Why cant I add songs in my itunes library. I can still add movies but not music, Why cant I add songs in my itunes library. I can still add movies but not music

Recently, I can no longer add songs in my itunes. I can delete it or move the songs into playlist but adding songs doesn't work anymore. I can still add photos and movies but not music. Please help me solve this issue.

I have a master iTunes file that contains all the music that I or my children have bought and then my own collection within the file. That song, 'Mercy, Mercy Me/I Want You' is gone from both lists
Nabitnak, Not sure what kind of master file you are keeping, but the song file is probably in your backup.
Why is that song not available on iTunes? I can get it on Amazon.
The iTunes Store, like any retailer, does not have 100% of all existing items. But anyway, if you can buy it on one store, it hardly matters why another store does not have it.
The coincidence of my missing song and iTune's missing the same song is beyond suspicious.
Maybe, although if you have a backup it should be there.
To address the other part of your question, "I can find it on You Tube, why not iTunes?": Youtube has content that is uploaded by users. Music retailers such as iTunes have content that they are licensed to sell as downloads. The two things have nothing to do with each other.

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.

I installed CS6 on Mac Pro (10.9 software version). I don't see the Adobe PDF printer in the printer/fax section. I can not figure how to create the PDF Printer.

I can not figure how to create a Adobe PDF Printer. Normally when you install the package ( CS6 Standard for Mac Pro) the installer creates the PDF printer automatically. In the System Preferences under the Printer/Fax I don't see the PDF printer. How do you create the PDF printer.

How we can lock No more than one user can use the table at a single time

Hi Abapers,
0) which function modules to lock & unlock a table.
1) When you execute the program, we can check if there is any lock on this table. If yes, the user should be able to only view the table contents and not modify.
2) If there is no lock, then lock the table and go into change mode.
3) On exiting from the program, unlock the table using the function module.
4) more than one user can't modify the table just display.
Note: If there is any lock, display message saying table is locked.
Plz help me for this requirement.
Thanks
Nani

Hello Nani
Have a look at the lock object EMMARAE (Lock MARA and MARM/MAKT exclusively) in transaction SE11.
Inspect the F1 help for field Lock mode:
DE ENQMODE
Short Text
 Lock mode
Definition
 Defines how to synchronize table record access by several users.
The following modes exist:
 Exclusive lock
 The locked data can be read or processed by one user only. A request
 for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
 Shared lock
 Several users can read the same data at the same time, but as soon
 as a user edits the data, a second user can no longer access this
 data. Requests for further shared locks are accepted, even if they
 are issued by different users, but exclusive locks are rejected.
 Exclusive but not cumulative lock
 Exclusive locks can be requested by the same transaction more than
 once and handled successively, but an exclusive but not cumulative
 lock can only be requested once by a given transaction. All other
 lock requests are rejected.
If you want to lock a standard table search whether the table is used in lock objects (Where-Used-List). If it is a customer table you have to create your own lock object (including two function modules: one for enqueuing and the other for dequeuing).
The lock modules can be found in menu GoTo -> Lock Modules.
Given these lock modules the logic should be quite clear after starting the program:
1. Request lock -> if successful, continue in Change mode; -> if failed, continue in Display mode
2. Before leaving the report remove lock (note: no problem if no lock has been set in the beginning).

Old user can still access mailbox after removing msexch-masteraccountsid

Hi,
I've changed the user mailbox and user by running the following command on the linked mailbox
Set-User -Identity "alias" -LinkedMasterAccount $null
Issue is that the previous user (the msexchmasteraccount) still has access, and yes, that user is still enabled.
My question is - how can I remove that access to the mailbox? The msexchmasteraccount is empty in adsiedit.

Hi,
Any update?
Thanks.

Removed users can still log in

Hi there
I'm having an odd problem about removed users that can still log in. Users are defined on a OD server (OS X server 10.4.4), the users are put into groups, and the different groups can log in to different computers. Works fine, more or less.
However, if I remove a user from a group, he can still log in to all the computers he was able to log in before I removed him! Same is true if I remove an entire group from a computer list - all users that were in that group can still log in to the computer.
E.g:
iMac; login allowed for Group-1, with User01 and User02
-> User01 and User02 can log in. Fine.
Remove User01 from Group-1
-> User01 can still log in to the iMac. ????
Removing Group-1 from the iMac computer list
-> User01 and User02 can still log in. Grrr...
I did several restarts of both the clients and the OD server, trashed the cache files in /Library/Caches and deleted mcx-caches in Netinfo Manager. Nothing helped. It's starting to drive me mad!!
Any ideas?
Thanks, Tina

i persume u delete the cache etc on the clients?

Can't add printers with \\SERVERNAME\PRINTER_SHARENAME but can add printers with \\IP_ADDRESS\PRINTER_SHARENAME

Hi,
I've started getting problems with attaching shared printers via group policy to are client computers.
All the event logs i'm getting seem to be pointing to permissions on the printer, but they seem to be fine as are other machines are attaching the printer ok.
The user 'Printer BLK' preference item in the 'DeployedPrinterALL {578F2C91-17FD-4E52-AA09-8C2CC8BAF3A4}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070005 Access is denied.' This error was suppressed.
As a test i've also been trying to attach the printer manually by going to
\\SERVERNAME\PRINTER_SHARENAME but i get...
"Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000005). Access is denied."
We do have a secondary print server for are sister site and i can attach printers fine on the same computer. But the strange thing is that i can attach a printer on the problem machines by using the ip address of the server so
\\IP_ADDRESS\PRINTER_SHARENAME. Which lead me to think its permissions on the server or a possible DNS issue.
I've check DNS and the correct IP address is listed/name and i can ping the server from the problem machines.
Kinda confused with this one any help would be grateful ladies and gents.
J

Do you have the print server on an actual server, with a static IP address, or do you have the print server set as client machines, desktops with DHCP?
With the DNS, how do you have it configured?
Are you using the DNS of the print server, or do you have the Printers configured with an A record?
So for instance..
Desktop is 192.168.1.101
Printer is 192.168.1.102
Do you have printer/192.168.1.102
or do you have printer/192.168.1.101?

Printers gone, can't add printers, making PDFs

Suddenly all my printers and Adobe Distiller are gone from my (in-application) print dialogues. !! Truly this happened suddenly, with no apparent cause. I did nothing unusual. No new software, no deletions. Did recent update to 10.4.7.....
And no printers show up in Printer Utility, and i can't make them appear. When i try to create default, i see an error: 'server-error-server-unavailable'.
I can still make PDFs from within an application (like Finale), but nothing shows in the Printer field. It says only 'No Printer Selected', and there is no printer to select.
I have already reset the printing system a few times.
Restarted the powerbook several times.
I tried deleting all relevant prefs - com.apple.printer etc, distiller, acrobat.....
I have Acrobat 7.0.8 and Distiller 7.0.7, but normally it works ok to use the 'Create PDF' in any print window.
What causes this? Where did all my printers go?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Incidentally, i have also had a billion problems with fonts. I am trying to print a book of music created in Finale. Within that app i open the print window, create PDF, then collect PDFs together in Acrobat to make the book. I found that changing anything in Acrobat would make certain fonts bold. !! Tried 20 different thing then found that if i opened each PDF in Preview and saved it AGAIN as a PDF, the problem would go away.
So now i want to try using Distiller to create the PDFS, to see if i can skip the step of using Preview.
Thanks for any help, comments, whatever,
Mark

update:
I am able to create PDFs as i said above, using the normal mac 'save as PDF' choice in the print dialogue. And i can print normally.
But i still cannot print to distiller. That is, if i choose 'adobe PDF' as the printer, the (in-app) print window goes through the normal motions, but nothing ever shows in the Adobe printer, and no file ever results.
I have tried (not in chronological order):
deleting prefs
updating distiller
updating printer drivers
reset print system, re-add printers incl. adobe PDF
repairing disk perms
updated cupsd.conf
i am about to:
re-update from standalone installer.
I do think that my problems were the direct result of updating to 10.4.7.
Thanks for the tip about fonts btw. I did go through and found several surprisingly bad fonts, i mean like Schoolbook and, i forget, i think Arial and common, Apple-supplied fonts, that you'd think would just never go bad. huh. I used these in the files in Finale, and maybe that was the problem. They are done, it was a lot of work and now i am unwilling to go back and change fonts, thus restaring the whole finale->PDF->PDF again->collect-all-PDFs-together-in-one-huge-file->number pages (which is where the problems with fonts would show up, fairly late in the process) etc etc.
There are several other threads in this section of this forum, which deal with this same (more or less) problem. I am sorry, don't have time to get the refs right now.
i will keep trying, and keep posting here.

Can't add printers while in WiFi/Airport

I can no longer add printers in Printer Setup Utility while using my WiFi network (AEBS). The <ADD> Button is GRAYED OUT.
Everything is OK when my printer is connected via USB, but in Airport nothing.
When I get the ADD page it shows the correct name of the printer and the correct Location (AEBS) Name. But, the <ADD> Button is GRAYED OUT.
The printer's connection is Bonjour.
I'm not sure whether this started after the AirPort Firmware update 5.6 or the SecUpd2005-007 and SecUpd2005-007Ti.
But AirPort printing did start getting sporadic after SecUpd2005-007 and SecUpd200.5-007Ti.
I did a Reset Printing System when the printer would only print when it felt like it. Still everything was fine until 08-15-05.
I installed the AirPort Firmware update 5.6, the SecUpd2005-007 and the SecUpd200.5-007Ti the same day they appeared.

Print & fax (system preference panel) reset?

Hello,
I can't print. I'm running out of options.
As part of the troubleshooting, I have removed the printer (reset the printing system…) from the system preference panel.
When I re-enter the printer, I get the same (false) "out of toner" message when I want to print.
Is there another cache or preference panel in the system that I can trash to reset the printer (yellow toner) fuel gague?
The "out of toner message" is sticky. The cartridge is new and I have removed and reentered the printer a few times.
Is there a plist or something that will regenerate itself when I reinstall the printer on AirPort?
Must I reboot between reset and reenter?

The issue is being caused by SNMP status information. We had devices that were using an EFI "Fiery" controller and they were experiencing the same issue after the Mac to 10.6.8. Following is the information that EFI released in a technical bulltetin. Depending on what printer you have, the following may be of some help.
EFI Tech Ticker Alert June 27, 2011
After installing the OSX 10.6.8 update, the printer shows status as paused and will not resume. Note not all Fiery printers are affected with this new Apple update. We are looking for a resolution to this from Apple.
For users who are seeing this problem in the field and can't wait for a fix from Apple, there is a workaround that can be made in the CUPS filter. This workaround deactivates some status information from the printer to the print driver but still enables printing.
If your Fiery printer has this issue follow the short term workaround solution below.
This workaround consists of adding a *cupsSNMPSupplies: False line to a ppd file in the /etc/cups/ppd folder.
You’ll need administrative privileges to perform this workaround. Detailed steps are outlined below.
For this example we will use ColorPrinter as the name of the printer affected by the 10.6.8 update.
1. From the Finder menu choose Go, then Go to Folder...
2. Enter /etc/cups/ppd in the Go to Folder dialog box and choose Go.
3. Find the ppd named ColorPrinter.ppd. (This is the same name as the ColorPrinter in Print and Fax with a .ppd extension. )
4. Drag the ColorPrinter.ppd to the Desktop.
5. Open the ColorPrinter.ppd with TextEdit.
6. At the end of the PPD add the following line exactly as written: *cupsSNMPSupplies: False
7. Save the modified ColorPrinter.ppd to the Desktop.
8. From the /etc/cups/ppd folder, move the original ColorPrinter.ppd to the trash. Authenticate when prompted. 9. Drag the modified ColorPrinter.ppd from the Desktop to the /etc/cups/ppd folder. Authenticate when prompted.
10. Printing should now work as expected. (You may have to start the print queue if it was previously paused.)
