Print Job visibility on shared print queues

Hello all,
Quick scenario, where print server has a print queue shared with several clients. Each user is sending jobs using this shared queue. Is it possible that users only see their print jobs when opening the print queue, instead of all jobs, from other users,
being sent to that print queue.
I am aware that you can mask the job title and job owner, from the driver prespective. Nevertheless I am wondering if there is something from a service or policy prespective that can be applied globally to all printer, independely of the print driver in
use.
Thanks

Yes.   The client will not matter.  The driver version or Type will not matter.
The documentation is extremely limited.  Most of the 2012 What's new in..... was overwritten with the What's new in 2012R2.
But what the heck.  I always go the extra mile for people wishing to deploy print servers.   There has been a patch release where you can add the true document name in the print event logged.  There are ways to determine the queue view
true document name but code would need to be written and compiled.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134163.aspx
When printing to a Windows Server 2012 print queue, only users with administrator permissions on the print queue (full system administrator or delegated print administrator, see
Assign Delegated Print Administrator and Printer Permission Settings in Windows Server 2012) will see readable document names when viewing the print queue.  Users can still view the
queue from their client computer and will see their own document name in full, but for other user’s print jobs they will see
Print Document for the document name.
Additionally, in most cases in the event log on the server, the document name will also appear as
Print Document.  However, in some job failure cases, the document name will be listed in the failure event.

  • Error message in shared printer queue.

    I am now receiving an error message in my Macbook printer queues whenever I try to print from this Macbook to a shared Epson C120 printer  attached by USB to my PowerMac G5.
    When I highlight the queue line I wish to print, an  error message reads : can't open `/private/var/spool/cups/tmp/50cea92d5d0a0'.
    This has just recently happened.  I have checked and rechecked my printer/fax options and my sharing options in both computer's systems and everything is as it should be.  I can print just fine if I am using my PowerMac G5.
    I Googled the error message and found a reader's fix from an Apple Support forum which I hoped would work.  This was was to delete the printer in both computer's System Prefs, restart both computers and then put back the printer and sharing in both computer's System Prefs.  This did not work.
    I have opened  http://localhost:631 and read the CUPS pages but this is a bit too technical for me and I did not know waat to look for to allow the printer to be shared..
    I have made no changes to either Mac so I don't know why this just started.  I used to have no trouble printing from my Macbook.
    What do I need to do?
    Walter
    PowerMac G5  running Leopard 10.5.8 with an Epson C120 printer attached to it by USB cable.
    Mackbook running Snow Leopard 10. 6.8.

    Mike,
    Thanks for referring me to  //support.apple.comkb/HT3771.
    I carefully read the support.apple.comkb/HT3771 article and found a critical error in my Macbook Sharing Prefs page. 
    I realized that in Macbook's System Prefs under Shared, the two square boxes (printer and users) are empty and the + and -  symbols below the boxes are grayed out so I cannot enter the name of my computer in the printer box nor can I enter a user's name in the users box.
    I now remember that when I was able to successfully print from the Macbook these two boxes had info in them. The printer box had the name of my Epson printer and the user box said Everyone  -  can print.
    I also think that the required info for these two boxes was automatically inserted.
    So I now I will somehow have to get info in these two boxes in order for me to use shared printing with my Macbook
    The issue is How to do this.
    The Macbook's System Prefs for Print&Fax appears to be OK.  I can add or delete my Epson printer. Clicking the + button under the printer box always shows my printer in this pref.
    I also see that in the Macbook's print queue the jobs all start with Hold for Authorization. Does this mean anything to you?
    I appreciate you help,
    Walter

  • Print jobs slow to leave Mac print queue

    Mac laptops running 10.5.6. IP printers added, using LPD with queue of lp. There is a Xerox WCP232, HP Laserjet Series 4/5 and another print queue on the systems. Several presets created as laptops are shared, each preset is configured for a secure print with the users code associated with the setup. When multiple jobs are printed, users notice that the print queue gets backed up and the jobs slowly leave the print queue on the mac. This happens with several laptops. When only one print queue exists, the print jobs go through quickly. This can only be replicated on the subnet which the laptops are used, Xerox cannot replicate the issue nor can other users on the network.

    If you have a computer still running 10.5.8 that will likely be ON when you want to print to AppleTalk Printers, you can set up the printers on that Mac, then declare them "Shared" from that Mac.
    They will be seen from the rest of your Macs as Bonjour Shared printer that reside on the 10.5.8 Mac.
    Re-Install those printers on your other Macs, using Bonjour Shared @ 10.5computername to Install them. You can print again!
    If this solution will not work for you, post your Printer model numbers are readers can help find other approaches to get them going in a "no more AppleTalk" environment.

  • Job appears in print queue but doesn't print

    Here's the setup:
    HP Laserjet 1606dn connected via USB to XP computer. From this computer printer works fine. Printer is shared on the network.
    On another XP machine on the network, ran Add Printer, printer was detected and installed and everything works fine.
    On a Vista computer on the network, ran Add Printer. Printer was detected, everything installed apparently correctly.
    When I print a test page from the Vista machine, the job appears in the print queue on the XP machine. It stays there for about 60 seconds. The status is "printing". The job then disappears and nothing prints.
    Any ideas about what to try next?

    Take a look at these instructions from eHow, and let me know if they fix the problem for you. (Generally, I just turn my printer off and back on, and that does the trick.)

  • I need to attach a printer command (PCL) to all jobs from a print queue

    We're running NW5.1 SP1a, and I want to send a PCL command to the
    printer before all print jobs come from a certain queue. The purpose of
    this is so that the DOS-based program that prints to LPT3 will print
    from tray 2 of our networked laser printer. I have the PCL command I
    need, and if I put it at the beginning of a doucment and then print it
    from the DOS program, it will come from the correct tray.
    BTW, this program is run from machines running DOS 6.22, Windows 98,
    and XP. Some of the DOS boxes do a network boot from floppy, so doing
    something with printer drivers on each machine is not an option. Since
    they all capture the same print queues, all it would take is to be able
    to send the PCL command to the printer with every job. Surely this is
    possible?
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your help. I finally figured out what the problem was.
    None of the printer definitions were visible to me when creating print
    job configurations. I finally figured out what you do to import them.
    Now I can attach them to my print job configuration. Yay!
    I must have had some problem with the search queries I was using,
    because I never could find out how to create print device definitions.
    I have a couple of books here, but all they say is useless stuff like
    "Print device definitions are created using the Administrator Console."
    Thanks to the page of the documentation you linked to (and searching
    from that section of the documentation and then following the
    resulting links), I found out exactly what to do with the Administrator
    Console to create/define print configurations. Now I can create a
    complete print job. Yee-haw!
    BTW, I have no problem RTFM-ing as long as I have the right FM to R.
    Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
    James
    P.S--For what it's worth, although initially a bit counterintuitive for
    someone whose primary background is Microsoft-based, the more I delve
    into Netware, the better I like it. It makes the MS methodology seem
    like a bunch of ugly hacks held together with the software equivalents
    of bailing wire and duct tape.

  • How to cancel printing jobs that are in the queue? Model is : HP Laserjet 3055

    I wanted to print a 200 page book from my laptop, so I pluged in the printer to the laptop and pressed print on laptop. Then immediately decided not to print it, so I pressed cancel on printer. But the job has not been canceled at all. Every time I try to print something the it always starts with the job I wanted to cancel in the beginning. And on the laptop the message block asks if I wish to add to printing queue. 
    I would like to cancel the job that is sitting in the queue on the printer for good, if anyone can advise please help me, very desperate!!!

  • Random print jobs showing up in print queue when printing...

    Whenever I print something, one or two other random files will show up in the print queue.  The printer will not try and print these additional jobs, and it does not prevent another print job from printing, but each time more random files will show up.  The print queue will fill up with these additional jobs until they are manually deleted.  What a pain.  Does anyone have a solution???

    These random files can be communication files and are used to interogate the printer about its status. Typically they will be processed by the printer and then vanish from the print queue. So if they are not being processed and you are having to manually remove them then there could be a setting in the printer that needs to be changed or you have to check from an updated driver.
    To confirm if it is the printer queue / driver that is checking the status, you can open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. You can then select the printer in the top right pane and see its information in the bottom right pane (or if this is the only printer you have the information will appear in the right pane). You will see an entry called Printer Commands. If it shows something like Report Levels then this confirms that these files you are seeing are for checking the printer status.

  • Network Print Jobs Always Get Stuck in Queue

    Hello,
    I have, perhaps, the most frustrating problem on the planet.  In my home network, I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to my main PC, with 2 other PC's on the network.  All 3 run Windows 7.  Printing from my main PC works fine, but if I try to print over the network, the print job always gets stuck in the queue.  I can see it stuck in the queue on my main PC, but I can't do anything about it.  I can't delete it, nothing.  If I restart the spooler, then it magically prints and clears the queue, but it's annoying to have to do that all the time.  I've reinstalled the drivers several times to no avail.  Tips?
    RPGillespie

    I have a similar problem, I have a directly connected 1300 and a network P3015. The 1300 is connected via USB, the 3015 is connected by RJ45 cable right to the router. Both printers have their print queues get stuck, but only from my HP Pavilion Elite HPE running HP-installed Windows 7. All the other machines in the office can use the 3015 printer perfectly well. One is an older Pavilion using XP-Pro, another is a Dell using XP-Pro and the third is a Lenovo laptop using Windows 7. All our toners are not refills (seems like a stupid suggestion that the toner cartridge could cause a queue to lock up). The problem is definitely between my machine and the HP printers. I have a Brother printer and a couple of Seiko/Epson printers that all work perfectly fine.
    Rebooting several times a day is getting old.

  • Jobs show twice in print queue - won't delete and won't print

    I have an HP Laserjet P1006 running on a HP laptop running Windows 7 64 bit.  Printer has worked fine for 8 months but recently ran into problems. 
    When I send a print job to it, the printer doesn't print.  If I open up the print queue, the job shows up twice.  If I try to delete the jobs, they don't delete.  I can use the HP Print Diagnostic Utility to get the jobs cleared out of the queue, but the same thing happens the next time I try to print something. 
    A Few Other Items to Note:
    - I don't get any error lights on the printer. 
    - I brought home a laptop from home running XP and installed the printer using the CD.  The printer worked fine with that computer, so I don't think it's a problem with the printer hardware.
    - I have tried uninstalling the printer, both using the CD that came with it and with the latest drivers/software from the website.  Didn't do anything (same problem occurs when printing a test page).
    - HP Print Diagnostic Utility doesn't find anything wrong.  Likewise, if I right click on the printer and click Troubleshoot, that doesn't help either.
    - I've tried restarting the print spooler, but that didn't do anything. 

    Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull the power cord from the printer then from the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’ and restore the printer to a known good condition (if it is possible). No user settings are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
    This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful tools to use when the printer hardware is not functioning properly!

  • Print Queue will not remove print jobs

    I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. I have a Printer HP LaserJet P4015n set up as a network printer thru DNS.  The printer is working fine all print job will come
    out. Each time I send a print job to stays in the queue with the Status "Sent to printer". If I send another print job to the printer it will print out however the job will stay in the queue. I have added the printer to a user’s machine and they were
    able to see all the print jobs in the queue. I have stops and started the spool however it does nothing. I have already reinstalled the printer but it has done nothing to help.
    After about 5 - 10min of the jobs are sitting the in the queue they delete themselves.
    Does anyone know of anything I can do about this?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the post.
    Here is something I need to confirm:
    1. Does this issue occur with other network printers?
    2. Does this issue occur when printing a text file?
    If this issue just occurs with HP LaserJet P4015n, it is caused by the specific printer driver.
    Now please perform the following steps to troubleshoot this issue.
    Clear spool file
    1. Stop the spooler by doing the following:
    a. Click Start , Settings , Control Panel , Administrative Tools , then Services .
    b. Scroll down the list of services for the Print Spooler.
    c. Right click Print Spooler and click Stop .
    2. Delete the spool files
    a. Open My Computer.
    b. Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ .
    c. Delete all of the files inside of this folder.
    3. Restart the spooler.
    a. Click Start , Settings , Control Panel , Administrative Tools , then Services
    b. Scroll down the list of services for the Print Spooler.
    c. Right click the Print Spooler and click Start.
    Change the spooling format
    Set the spooling format to RAW, and then try to print directly to the printer instead of spooling the print job. To do this:
              a.       Click "Start", point to "Settings", and then click "Printers".
              b.       Right-click the printer that you are using, and then click "Properties".
              c.       In the Advanced tab, click "Print Processor".
              d.       Set the default "Data type" to "RAW" for both "WinPrint" and "ModPrint".
              f.        Click "OK", click "OK" again, and then close the Printers dialog box.
    Does it work?
    Hope this helps.

  • Server Admin not showing jobs in print queue

    Hi All,
    I'm not sure if others are having this problem or if it's just me.  I am running Mac Server OS X 10.6.7  When I go to Server Admin and select "Print" and then "Job Status", I get a list of all the server's print queues.  In the pane below the list of queues, there is a section that says "Jobs on Queue:" which then allows me to select any specific print queue.  The problem is, no matter what queue I select, I am never able to see any of the print jobs going through the queue.  I have sent multiple jobs to different printers on the server, all while watching the "Jobs on Queue" window for the appropriate printer.  In every test, I have never seen ANY print job show up in that window, even though all the print jobs print out fine.  I have even tried pausing a printer to let jobs queue up, and still nothing shows up in that window.
    I have also tried the same tests while viewing the prints queues from the "Print & Fax" System Preferences pannel directly on the server.  Still no luck.  Everything prints out fine, but I am unable to ever see any print job hitting the queue.
    The reason I even noticed this problem is because a user accidentally printed a 500 page document by mistake.  The user called me to stop the job, but I was unable to see anything in the queue to kill.  I tried deleting the job directly from the printer, but this just caused the printer to lock up.  I would try powering off the printer and restarting it, but as soon as it powered back on, the print job would restart.  I even tried restarting the server, but as soon as the server came back online, the print job started again.  Finally, after hunting on the web, I tried logging into CUPS via http://localhost:631 and was able to see the print job listed there and finally delete it.
    Is there any way to monitor print jobs on the server in real time?  I found this previous archived thread describing what appears to the same problems using Mac Server OS X10.5.8, but there was never any solution listed before the thread was archived.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2152737

    Is there anyone using printing services on a Mac server at all that could comment on whether or not you see the print jobs listed in the queue when printing?

  • Officejet Pro 8600 - Can't remove canceled job from print queue

    Hi there
    I canceled a print job from the print queue, but it refuses to budge! Everytime I try to remove it, I get this message:
    I can print other documents, but it's very irritating having this here all the time (and a big red blob on my dock icon announcing a phantom print job).
    Can anyone help me rid myself of this spectre of print purgatory?
    Cheers!

    Try downloading and running the HP Print and Scan doctor. This software is able to remove phantom print jobs for you automatically. The program can be downloaded from here.
    As well, for Windows based computers, restarting the computer can also help with this issue oftentimes. Hope this helps.

  • Random jobs stopping print queue

    I have 3 printers attached to my iMac via a USB hub, a canon i9100, an epson SP 220 and an epson SP 1800. I have experienced this with all of the printers, so I don't believe it is a problem with the printer software.
    Most of the time everything works perfectly. But approximately 10% of the time the document will just not print. I thought it might be something to do with InDesign, since 99% of the documents I print are from InDesign, but I have experienced the problem with TextEdit files, emails, web pages (camino and safari).
    There doesn't seem to be any particular cause. The job will queue up, and then all the sudden the printer will stop all jobs. The only way to get them started is to delete the job from the queue. The strangest part is that SOMETIMES reprinting the document will work fine, while other times it just continues to stop the print queue.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or is it just a ghost in my machine.
    iMac 17 1GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It's possible that you have a corrupt font. That will stop a printer. Check the fonts you are using in a document that's causing problems, and maybe change the font, and see if it works. It's easier if you have a font check utility like suitcase.
    If you dont, maybe figure out what page of a document is causing the printer to stop. That will narrow the search.

  • Print Queue stops jobs - help?

    *One day I could print pdfs and the next I couldn't!*
    I'm using Acrobat 7.0 Professional and everytime I try to print a pdf, from any programme, the Print Queue begins to print my file, it says opening Distiller and then the Print Queue stops, just like that! No reasons.
    I have reinstalled Acrobat having first uninstalled it from the disc, this hasn't solved my problem.
    I have repaired permissions, no solution here.
    I have run Printer Setup Repair by Fixamac and that's not helped.
    I have reset the printing system in Printer setup utility - still no help.
    I have reinstalled the OS system from the original discs and still I cannot get the printer queue to print the job!
    I have a Canon Pro 9000 printer and I can print perfectly well to that.
    PLEASE can someone help me???
    I've wasted half a day on this and have got nowhere.

    The log shows that the first process to have trouble is the backend (transport) process "pdf700", which is the PDF distiller installed by Adobe Acrobat 7. I believe the rest of the errors are related to this process failing.
    You mentioned that you deleted Acrobat, however I believe that this file may not have been deleted, or overwritten with the new installation. So I would run the the Acrobat Uninstaller and then check if this file gets left behind. If it does, then you can try manually removing this file.
    You can see that the file is located in /usr/libexec/cups/backend. You can use the Finder to navigate to the folder. With a Finder window open, select Go > Go to Folder and then type that path above. This will open the backend folder where you will see the pdf700 file. Now, before you can delete it, you will need to change ownership from system to your account. Do a Get Info on the file (Cmd I) and in the new window, expand 'Ownership and Permissions'. You will see you have read-only rights. If you expand Details, then you will see that System is the owner. Next to this is a lock. If you click this you will be prompted for the administrators account/password. After entering this, you can change the owner to your account and then close the Get Info window. Now you will be able to delete the pdf700 file.
    With the file removed, you can install Acrobat 7.x again. Of course, if the uninstaller does remove this file, then everything I mentioned above won't be required and of no help. I then recommend you check the Acrobat forums on Adobe's web site to see if there is any fixes mentioned there...

  • Print Queue Jobs print out of order

    It seems that jobs that have been sent to the printer queue print in an order other than the order they were submitted. It is most often evident when I print several photos from iPhoto, but I have also seen it happen from other applications.
    Is it possible the queue is selecting jobs by size?
    If so, How can I change the printing order so that they are printed in the order that they were submitted?
    Thank you in advance.
