Online print servies: tips, tricks, and lessons learned?

I'm curious if other Aperture users have any wisdom to share on getting good results when printing using an online service. I've gotten good results with My Photo Pipe, a lab located a few miles from where we live. They post profiles for their printer, understand color management, and run a tight process.
I'll start by creating a print version of my image and cropping it to the desired size. After that, I'll soft proof in Aperture using the profile for the printer & paper, make my adjustments, and export to a fine JPEG saved in that color space with black point compensation enabled. I find the latter necessary to maintain shadow details. I've also found that I need to bump up the saturation if the print is to look as rich as what I see on screen.
Exporting to a TIFF doesn't seem to offer any advantages and makes for crazy upload times. For one experiment, I uploaded a fine JPEG in the printer's color space and a 16-bit TIFF of the same image in Pro Photo RGB. Both were for 16x20 prints. I couldn't tell which was which without checking the filename on the back. The images were raw captures of a wildly colored butterfly and definitely pushed the gamut (pun intended).
Large prints aren't cheap, so I'll typically make a few 8x10s with slightly different settings before uploading a large print.
Cheers,
Andreas

Sharing Linksys Wireless Print Server with MAC and PC - How to do?

I have lost the capability to share a printer on my network by using the Linksys Wireless Print Server-model number WPS54G -V2. Prior to having to return my previous Print Server on an RMA, I was able to use the MAC and PCs on my network. I have a PowerGook G4 with MacOS X 10.4.10. I also have a Airport Extreme Base Station V5.6. The printer on the network that is being shared is an Epson Stylus Photo 820. Recently, when trying to reconfigure the network, I updated the software on the Airport Extreme...so I think after that, I am no longer able to share this printer using current network configuration. As information, I will share how I got the network to share the printer BEFORE I had to replace the previous Print Server and BEFORE I updated the Airport Extreme. Please see this link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050406151311940
Even though this was for a different type of Print Server, this worked for me.
When reconfiguring the new Print Server, I contacted Linksys...as had some difficulty until I found out how to assign a static IP to the new Print Server. When trying to talk to them about the Mac issue, and sharing the printer, they shared this link with me...which may be helpful to some, but I found that this does not work for me...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060404021600193
I have been trying to work through the issue, but feel I may now have some compatibility issues between the Airport Extreme and the Epson printer.
Further details are that I use 10.0.1.78 for the assigned IP address for the Print server. My router (which is the Airport address) is 10.0.1.1. I have tried IPP printing option, LPD printing option...and IPP printing at least returns a status on the Print Server as "printing" as opposed to "idle". I have checked the Print status on the Mac, and I have received two (2) different error messages as to why the print job failed. They are:
"the process "picwpstops" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
and
"the process "rastertoprinter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1"
The latter happens when I follow the instructions on the second link I attached on this topic...with the only change being that I select IPP printing as opposed to LPD printing.
Anyone that has any insight into HOW to configure the mysterious settings for Mac OS printing so that it can be compatible with a Wireless Print Server, please feel free to comment. In the meantime, I am thinking that the links above could help some people...just not me at this point given my current configuration and versions of software/firmware and perhaps the printer I am using.
Greatly appreciate your consideration, and any suggestions to anyone that might understand what these error messages mean when checking the printer status after sending a file for printing.
Thank you

1. No, you don't have to make a bootable clone.
2. If you use the drive for a bootable backup, then you cannot use the drive for other types of storage unless you partition the drive and make more than one volume.
3. No, it will not try to boot the computer. You must designate the startup volume using Startup Disk preferences.
If you wish to use the drive on both a Mac and a PC, then either you make two partitions - one for Mac and the other for the PC or you must format the entire drive using FAT32 so the drive can be used for read//write by both operating systems. If you do this then you cannot use the drive for a bootable backup nor can you use it with Time Machine.
FAT32 is slower for read/write on the Mac than using Mac formatting.
Optimally, I would suggest you partition the drive into two volumes. One volume formatted for the Mac and the other formatted FAT32.
You can send files from a PC to a Mac and vice-versa using File Sharing. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "file sharing" or "sharing" to find help articles. Also see,

Printer server NETGEAR PS121 and Mac 10.5.8

Trying to configure the PS121 on our Mac system (no PCs) and am having trouble trying to determine how I can assign the print server it's own IP.
There are plenty of directions in this forum and on Netgear's forum that tell you how to add the printer once you have an IP address - the problem here is that I am unable to assign one in the first place. There is no instructions on how to access the print server through the web-interface without an IP address.
Netgear does state in it's product description that you can configure the unit on a Mac (not just compatible), so I figure I'm missing something somewhere. Help is appreciate, thanks.

The instructions say the PS121 will obtain its IP address via DHCP (the router).
You should then be able to find the IP address by accessing the router's built-in web page.
Then you can access the print server's web page and give it a fixed IP address.
When you add a printer on the Mac, use P1 (p-one) for queue name, LPD protocol (IPP might work, too).

Printer server NETGEAR PS121 and Imac

Anybody knows if it's possible to use the printer server "Netgear PS121" with mac?
There is no special software for mac, but it should be possible to use it manually.
I have an Imac 2.4 GHz, router Netgear DG834, the PS121, a Multifunction printer Canon MP160, and I cannot use the printer.
Thank you.

You will be able to print, but not scan from OS X. And the printing will only work with the open source CUPS driver, Gutenprint (get latest version):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
To add the printer use IP printing > LPD and for queue name, get the "port name" as instructed in the setup guide - it will look something like PR098701_P1.

Z10 Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts

I've compiled these tips from several week's worth of using the Z10 BlackBerry.
For the new Z10 user, you'll find some good stuff here and I urge you to just sit down for 20 miutes and go through each of these. They'll stick with you that way.
For the experienced user, please feel free to post your own tips in this thread! I'd ask that we stay on topic, and let's get as many as possible posted here.
Settings
First, find your SETTINGS easily by swiping down from the top bezel. There you will see Settings, Bluetooth, Alarm, Rotation Lock, WiFi and Notifications. In your Settings, you will find your About screen, Network Connections such as your mobile network, Mobile Hotspot, NFC, Airplane Mode, etc.; your email accounts setup, Language and Input, BlackBerry Protect, and many other key settings.
Name your Z10 at Settings > About > Device Name. This is the name of the device a WiFi router will see, when using the BlackBerry Link on your desktop, or when sharing media files.
Remember the Overflow icon, which is noted by the ⁞ icon (three horizontal dots) This icon is often seen in the Hub, at the bottom of email compose screens and in many core BB10 apps and will lead you to more settings, options or actions for that screen.
Take a screen shot of your Z10 screen by pressing both the UP and DOWN volumes keys simultaneously. The screen shot is saved in your Pictures folder.
Stop the red LED quickly by tapping the top edge Standby button. Sometimes I don't have time to even peek at the Hub, and a quick tap of the standby button let's me get back to work for a few more minutes.
Hub Quick Controls: While in your Hub view, tap the overflow icon ⁞ and then Settings > to find your settings for Hub Display and Actions (change the sort order of messages, download images automatically and more), Hub Management (you can enable and disable which email accounts, Facebook, and Twitter to appear or no in the Hub.
Application settings can often be found by swiping down from the top bezel to find more Settings, Help, or About that third party application.
Disable the Delete Message Confirmation from your Hub screen > tap the overflow icon ⁞ > Settings > Display and Actions > scroll down to and disable the Delete Message Confirmation.
Peek when busy! If your actively in an email or other app like Twitter, you can use one finger swiping slowly up from the bottom bezel to view any mail, BBM or Hub notifications on the left or right of the pane. Keep your finger on the app and swipe back down to continue in the active app, or let go to move to another app. Swiping up from the bottom and over to the right all in one action hides that active app and takes you directly to your Hub.
Check your battery percentage at Settings > About > change the top Category from General to Hardware and the battery percentage is at the bottom of the screen. I've downloaded "Battery Watch" from BlackBerry World for free, as an icon on my screen.
Speed Dial settings are found by opening your Phone application and while in the Call List or Contacts view, touch and hold the desire contact to add to your Speed Dial and on the popup side bar, touch the Star icon (Add to Speed Dial).
Typing/Keyboard
Word Substitution on your Z10 works beautifully! Find it in your Settings > Language and Input > Automated Assistance > Word Substitution. We formerly called this AutoText, and it works all the same as before. There are a few pre-loaded, and I make my own, for things such as creating an entry of "hh" which becomes "Headed Home" I often use to let family know I've left the office at the end of the day. You can create Twitter hashtags, such as "bbt" becomes "#BlackBerry10", "myadd" instantly enters my physical office address. Learn to use the pre-loaded entries such as "ld" for today's date, "lt" for the current time, "mypin" to enter your Z10 PIN, or "myver" to instantly enter your BlackBerry model and OS version installed.
Hide the keyboard on any screen by wiping down with two fingers on the keyboard. Now you can see more of the long BBMessenger chat.
Format your Email to add colored fonts, Bold, bullets, or numbering... While in the email compose screen, swipe two fingers down to hide the keyboard and you'll see the Attach, Format, Importance and the overflow [⁞] icon... which allows you do BCC: a contact in the email.
Minize the keyboard quickly by touching the space key for two seconds, or by using two fingers to swipe downward on the keyboard.
Switch Keyboards quickly between the QWERTY keyboard and the numeric/symbol keyboard by swiping down on the keyboard with one finger.
Delete whole words by swiping left across the keyboard. Delete two words by swiping leftward with two fingers, three words with three fingers.
Select a word by touching and holding the word, the blue selection box will surround the word. Hold that word a second longer and the entire sentence will be selected. Another second, the entire paragraph will select; a second longer and the next paragraph will select with it, and so on.
Media
Use the Camera on the Lock Screen by touching the camera icon for five seconds... instant camera for the quick shots without unlocking!
Camera Tips: Use the up or down volume to activate the shutter, or simply touch the screen. Touch the Overflow icon for the camera's Burst mode (touch and hold for sports shots!) or to change the front-facing camera, or the Stabilization mode for shaky hands. The up/down volume keys also stop and start the video camera.
Set your Music Controls to your volume keys by going to your Settings > System Volume > to set the Music Shortcuts to On. Now your device volume up/down keys can be pressed to take you to the next or previous track in your music library.
Calendar
Switch calendar views quickly between the single day view to the week view, tap the screen twice quickly
A six month calendar is viewable, from the month view, by dragging down from top blue month title. From there you can swipe left or right to the previous or future six months, and touch a month to view that month.
Miscellaneous
Customize your icon layout by touching and holding an icon for two seconds until they pulsate... Touch and drag an icon within the current screen and let go to place it; drag an icon across the edge right or left to another panel, or drag one icon onto another to create a new folder with both icons located in that folder (you'll have a New Folder box pop up where you can name the folder). Rename a folder by touching it a few seconds.
Voice Control can quickly access from any screen by pressing the side MUTE key for two seconds (this is the button between the up and down volume keys).
Just Type! I am amazed at the ease of typing and self-correction of my typing mistakes on the Z10. I just seem to enter gibberish and the Z10 makes sense of it all in 99% of the words. Take time the first two weeks to use the word flick as you type and the Z10 will learn even better your typing and writing habits.
Just Speak! I have never been a big user of my former BlackBerry voice to text apps or services. They just never worked right for me. But WOW, this Z10 is actually getting better and better each time I use the Voice Control. Just like typing, it's learning my speech pattern, southern accent and idiosyncrasies. Take some time aside to create SMS messages or emails with the Voice Control and then as you do, make the corrections needed. Doing so will make a world of difference in how Voice Control reacts and transcribes your voice input.
Reset the BlackBerry10 Hub by swiping from the top right bezel to the center of the screen, five times in a row. This will often reset any ghost notifications, your email or social media notifications. You'll see a quick black screen then "Preparing BlackBerry Hub".

2008 R2 PDC with DNS, File and Print Server Roles

Hi all,
we have a brand new Canon iRA7260 setup on 2008 R2 print server, which is also our DC, DNS, DHCP and File Server with latest PCL5c drivers downloaded from Canon's website as recommended at that time by the canon technician who assembled the
machine. All our laptops and desktops are running Windows 7 64-bit and after creating a GPO everyone got connected to the printer no problem, the printer has a static IP, same subnet as the print server and PDC, printer's port has been setup to RAW
and to spool documents, driver isolation setup to default.
All users are setup for secure print, so every print job they send to the printer stays on the printer until they walk up to the machine and release it by punching in a department's pin. Everything works great except for every morning a get a few complaints
that the jobs sent to the printer did not appear in the secure print folder. There is no errors of any kind on workstations and all I see in the print job logs on the print server is that document been spooled, printed and deleted. The strange thing is that
the size of the document that disappears is always shown as 0 bytes in size and 1 page long. And the whole process of spooling printing and deleting happens within 1 second according to logs. There is no errors or warnings in the log except for informational
events.
I just discovered that what actually fixes this issue for me is not even restarting the print spooler on the print server, but just login into the print server from my workstation via RDP with admin credentials. Once I login into the server remotely,
every print job sent to the printer afterwards from every workstation in our office appears as usual in users secure print mailboxes. Users don't even have to reboot their work stations, everything just starts working as usual. There is no overnight activities
on that server as all our staff leaves the offices by 8 p.m. the latest and the only thing that is running overnight is the Symantec's Backup Executive backup jobs. Is it possible that a back up job could somehow affect the print server/print driver settings
or put it into a "sleep" mode so it would require a domain admin login to the server to bring it back into operational state?

Hi, the print server had default permissions set after the role was installed. I just added domain users and authenticated users with print and view server rights. I don't think this is a problem though because Samsungs Brothers and Xerox printers
are working. It looks like some process that runs at night on the print server disallows users to print to the Canon printer when they come in in the morning. Login remotely with admin credentials into the 2008 R2 that has print server role installed and this
canon printer deployed via GPO fixes this immediately for all users. After the printer works fine until the last staff leaves the office. However when I come in in the morning everyone reports to me the same problem which again I'm able to fix by login with
my domain admin credentials. Could this be due to some special permissions that canon drivers require to be added that I'm not aware of? Or could this be caused by the overnight Backup Executive 2010 R3 backup job that kicks in at 9 p.m. every night?
Thanks

OSX server 10.4 and print logs

When I ran OSX server 10.3, I had nice neat print logs by printer. I could easily tell who printed something if I needed to know. When I went to 10.4 server I lost this ability. The logs are still there but they are listed as "Appletalk: (printer name)" and they are empty. I do not use AppleTalk. The service is not even on in Network preferences, and I do not set my printers up using AppleTalk. I have lost an important feature of the print server with this and don't know what I did incorrectly.
Thanks.

Mac Printing with a printer server and Windows XP desktop

I have the following configuration:
Dell Desktop running XP
Apple iBook G4 running 10.4
Linksys Router
Linksys Print Server
I can't get my iBook to print through the print server. I have tried IP Printing and provided the printer server IP Address and correct printer driver "HP LaserJet 1012 Foomatic/hpijs (which I think is now part of 10.4). When I try to print I get the following message, "Printer Busy; will retry in 10 sec. I have also had Connecting to 192.168.1.78 on port 630... and nothing happens.
Any suggestions? I am at wits end because nothing is working. I know that my wireless router and print server are working because I ping'd them from the PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On windows, the setup software fills in required info like print server queue name - but we don't have that software on the Mac.
Look in the print server manual and check the supported protocols - LPD and IPP require a queue name which you can find in the manual. HP Jetdirect protocol doesn't need a queue name, and is called TCP/IP raw or socket 9100 printing in some manuals.
Good luck.

Wireless Print Server compatibility for HP LaserJet P1005

I recently purchased a HP LaserJet P1005 for home use and was considering putting in a wireless print server at home for that printer and another that I have. Does anyone know what wireless print servers are compatible with this printer? I can't find a lot of information on print servers online and I'm having trouble with finding what would be compatible. Any help would be appreciated....thanks!

Setting up a print server OR securing/password protect a networked printer

ok...here's my problem:
i manage a 25-person creative department. several other coworkers - outside of my department, keep using our two networked printers. i need to find some way to password protect or limit access to the printers to only those in my department.
currently, the printers are online and those of us on Macs access them via AppleTalk. they also have a static IP and some using PCs access them via the IP printing. the printers are a Xerox Phaser 7700 color laser and a GCC Elite 20/1200 b&w laser.
i have a Dual 2.5 G5 that we use as our department file sharing server. anyway i can set up some sort of printer server on it and only let authorized users print?
anyway i can use the "print sharing" feature on it? i've read post about using CUPS...but that scared me...over my head!
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Connect the two printers via USB to the server.
Now it gets harder. Copy the file cupsd.conf by going to the Go menu > Go To Folder /etc/cups. Drag the file cupsd.conf to the desktop (it makes a copy).
Edit the cupsd.conf (on desktop) with Text Edit or Text Wrangler from BBEdit. Find the line
#<Location /printers> and remove the # (which means uncomment that line).
Now find
## Require a username and password (Basic Authentication)
uncomment the two lines just below that:
#AuthType Basic
#AuthClass User
Now find the next #</Location>
and uncomment it. (It's about 5 lines down from AuthClass User)
Save the file. You have now created a new version of cupsd.conf that will require user authentication.
To install it, Start up the terminal. Type these commands:
cd /etc/cups
sudo mv cupsd.conf cupsd.conf.old
(when it asks for password, use the same one you use for installing software)
sudo cp [Drag the cupsd.conf from desktop here] cupsd.conf
(the drag types the file location for you)
Restart the Mac - it's an easy way to get CUPS to recognize the changed configuration.
At this point, you must make sure that every print user has an account on the server and that the password is the one they will use for printing - I recommend the same password they log onto their own computer with. Keychain on each computer should do the authentication after the first time.
Good luck.

Wps54G linksys print server

Anybody had success with any of the available apps printing via a wireless print server? server and set up works fine for 2 pcs, but so far, I can't seem to get any of the print apps to find it, much less the printer.

I actually have that router and an old HP printer and am able to successfully print from my IPad (Pages, Numbers, Safari, eMail and Keynote). I use no special apps.
But unlike the configuration in your original post, my printer is connected (wired) to the router via USB cable. Plus, my computers are all PCs. So, that may be where our similarities end.
For me, the fist sep was to configure my wired printer to the router and successfully print from all of my wireless computers in the house. I set up that print server years ago and followed the instructions for setting up a print server from the Linksys site and router documentation. This is really a separate task from the real deal, which is getting the IPad to print acros the wireless network.
The second step was labor intense for me, because every step in the process required me to learn something new along the way. For example, I had to research how to log on to my own computer as an administrator to perform one of the steps. My point is, if you don't have the aptitude or patience to perform a task from pretty vague instructions, you'll get frustrated.
The instructions that I followed to enable printinfrom my IPad are at the following URL:

Here's the URL for Mac configurations:
http://jaxov.com/2010/11/how-to-enable-airprint-service-on-mac-os-x-10-6-5/
For the Windows site, there are lots of questions and answers at the bottom of the instructions.

HP PSC 1315, Brother HL-2040 & D-Link DPG321 wireless print server

Hi all...I've had the D-Link wireless print server for awhile, and originally had an ancient Samsung attached to it.
Now though, the old Samsung printer is gone and I'm using the print server in my office with my new Brother HL-2040, which connected to my Mac effortlessly...super easy.
The problem comes in hooking up my HP PSC 1315 AIO to the wireless print server's second port. I've read a ton of postings in the last couple of days indicating the HP driver won't support this, so I downloaded the hpijs driver.
The Brother printer is hooked up to queue 1 (ps-5c714d-u1) per our documentation, and I'm trying to get the HP hooked up to queue 2 (ps-5c714d-u2), but absolutely nothing will print to it. One note - I'm not getting any error messages. When I pull up the printer to view the jobs, it looks like it's completed printing, so I'm not sure if it's stuck somewhere in the print server or what.
The HP works fine when connected directly via USB to my MacBook Pro - so the issue isn't with the printer itself or the cabling.
We CAN however, manage to print to the HP from our Windows XP desktop in the other room, interestingly enough.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

No, I didn't. Originally when I was doing all my research, I thought I only had to download that if I had Mac OS 10.2 or below...in retrospect now I'm not sure why I thought that.
I've now downloaded the file though, and have no idea what to do with it. In reading all of the installation info, I'm thinking it might just be easier to walk over to the printer and plug it into the USB port of my MacBook when I need to use it!
Thanks for the suggestion...not sure I have the constitution to keep fighting the good fight on this.

Printing to a Linksys Wireless Print Server with my MAC

have a small home network using an ATT DSL modem-router. I have several PCs hardwired to the router and 1 older MAC wireless. I have a MAC G4 laptop and a Dell laptop (my wife's) also connected wirelessly and all work well. I have added a Linksys wireless print server today and am able to get my wife's laptop to print easily and reliable as does the hardwired Dell. What I need is to get my MAC laptop to print wirelessly as well. I have tried all the options in the printer set-up but it does not see the print server. Linksys does not support MAC and there are no MAC drivers for the print server to download that I know of. Does anyone know of a fix on how I could configure this equipment so I can print wirelessly from my MAC laptop. Or perhaps bypass the print server and print using the modem-router and the same printer. I would appreciate any suggestions one could lend. Thanks much.

Looking at figure 8-5 and the text to its left in the User Guide.
Click Add in Printer Setup, then select IP printer > IPP. Enter the print server's IP address AND queue name P1. With that info filled in OS X has all it needs to address the printer on the print server.
Download and install the CUPS driver version 1.1.0, and choose it when you Add in Printer Setup.

Wireless Print Server Installation Issue - HP 2101nw

I have been using the 2101nw for the past year with my HP printer and Qwest DSL (Actiontec Wireless modem / router) without any issues. Well I made the switch over to Comcast so I needed to use a new wireless router (the Linksys WRT54G). For some reason I wasn't able to get the 2101nw to work, it just wouldn't connect to my computer. So I decided to uninstall the software and reinstall it. Well that isn't working very well. Everything loads up fine while the print server is connected to my computer. The instructions then tell me to discount the cable from my computer and plug in the printer, nothing happens at all after that. No connection and the software therefore won't complete the installation. I've spent two days trying to figure out what to do, since the guide really doesn't offer any help. Any suggestions or recommendations?
