Server created print ques printing directly to the printer

I'm trying to enforce quotas as well as push out a global set of printers (i.e. not setup locally) I can do this no problem, but my managed macs always print directly to the printer, not via my server.
I'm installing the printers locally on my server (printing directly to the I.P of the printer, then the corresponding ques appear automatically in the print service under server admin. I assumed that print jobs would be automatically parsed via the print service ques, and thus be able to enforce quotas.

I'm attempting to setup the very same thing. I haven't gotten to try pushing the print ques to the managed clients via wgm yet, as I can't even seem to get the quota system working at all.
I can get the que setup on the server, then add the printer to the client. When i pause the que on the server, the client print jobs are being held correctly, but there is no evidence that the quota system is even starting up or functioning correctly.
I can find alot of people complaining about the quota system being broken in 10.3 and 10.4, but I can't find anyone talking about 10.5's printer quota system at all.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Wireless - Can't Clear Print Que - Vista SP 1

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909G Wireless printer which is set up wireless through a router. Used to be able to print to this printer from any computer in the house except now. I tried to print a document from my HP Pavilion laptop to the printer; it didn't print. I tried multiple things, didn't work, so tried cancelling the document from the print que. For 2 days now it has the print que has showed this document as "deleting", pages 6/2, shows date and time of request to cancel print job. I went into Control Panel, right-clicked on the printer and chose "cancel all documents" and the print que still shows this document as deleting. No ability to cancel printer job from the physical printer itself. I've tried restarting the computer to see if it would clear the que; it doesn't. Read through previous posts and tried several of the suggestions; nothing works. Can no longer use this laptop to work and print. HELP! Vicki

I have had to delete the printer, search for it again, and re-install it!

Officejet pro 8600 not printing. lost in print que

Out of the blue printer begins loosing print jobs. Have reset printer like HP instructs, and I have turned off both iMac and printer and restarted them. There is nothing to print. The que goes empty - before and after a reset, the print job shows to be printing, but nothing happens, then the print que blanks out.
It is a bonjour or airprinter. No usb hooked up. The utilities will make it print, but nothing else from the apps will print. A newsletter deadline is staring me in the face. What a time for this to happen.
I had a problem about a month ago and installed the firmware from HP and the latest drivers from HP. All went excellent. About a week later Apple downloads and installs a new(er) driver and all worked fine for about a week and then the print que began to slow. Now it has stopped. Need some help here.

Clear Print Que

Any ideas on how to clear my print que? All documents waiting in que have been deleted, however, the system is stuck on deleting one job. I think it was sent 5 times since it is 4 pages long it the info reads 20/4 in # of pages. I have turned off computer, rebooted, etc. etc. I can't clear the job and nothing will print...

What printer model? What operating system? Are there any error messages or blinking lights on the printer? It sounds like the printer is not working properly or not communicating with the computer. I would suggest checking the printer and its connections.

Apple script for print que???

I was wondering if anyone knew of an Applescript or third-party software for the print que in OS 10.4 that will allow me to see what application the completed files were printed from.
Thank,
John
733mhz Quicksilver upgraded to 1ghz processor, 40gig Maxtor HD Mac OS X (10.3.8)

You may be able to adopt this script:
on open dropped_items
   -- Write a message into the event log.
   log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
   -- set see to alias "Macintosh-HD:Users:mac:Desktop:app.html"
   -- set dropped_items to {see}
   set the_app to "Safari"
   repeat with dropped_item_ref in dropped_items
      --set UrlBase to "xzzx FILE://" & POSIX path of dropped_item_ref
      --display dialog UrlBase
      -- Activate
      activate application the_app
      -- Open the URL
      tell application the_app
         open dropped_item_ref
         -- print dropped_item_ref
         tell application "System Events"
            tell process the_app
               delay 3
               -- click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar 1
               keystroke "p" using command down
               delay 1

CrystalRose,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
The printer spooler service may be in a tangle on your computer.
One method to get to the service:
Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools > Services >
Click on "Name" to sort by this column >
Scroll down and look for Print spooler > Highlight Print Spooler >
Click Restart the service
After you do that, Restart / Reboot the computer and log in.

'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print
Includes XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS 10.4 through 10.7, Mac Mountain Lion and Mavericks
Includes instructions for restarting the spooler service
If all else fails, you could reinstall the Full Feature Printer software for the printer. Ask if you need some help on how to do this.

Printer sharing blocked by firewall

I have a new MacBook Pro and while it "sees" the Canon printer, i am unable to get the printer to be shown as online. My System on my iMac shows Printer Sharing: Blocked by Firewall. Is there a way to allow these two Macs to print wirelessly? Thank you! I'm running the current version of Yosemite on both.

Turn off the firewall. It serves no purpose on a private network behind a router.

When I try to print, The print que say's"host is busy" any help plz?

Hi, When I try to print from my Macbook Pro , through my Airport to the usb connected printer like I've been doing with my old Macbook for years. I get this message in the print que,,Network host" is busy; will try in 5 seconds, then 10 seconds, then 15 etc.etc. indefinitly. Also I'm wondering if this same problem is related to the fact that I can't connect to SYKPE? I do connect to the internet daily with this same machine through my Airport, although it does drop the connection pretty often. When that happens I go up stairs and unplug the Airport for a few seconds then let it reboot. Then it seems to work for 4 or 5 days???

try removing preferences for Numbers:
Numbers keeps crashing everytime when i start working on a worksheet

Why when I delete a document from the print que does it not delete?

When I send a document to my hp photosmart printer and there is an error, I go in to delete the document from the print que on my hp laptop and it shows it as being deleted but nothing happens and I can't print any other document. How do I fix this?

If your problem is not resolved please read this post then provide some details. What exactly is your printer model? (There are hundreds of Photosmart models...) What operating system? How is the printer connected?
All the Photosmart printer models except the first one had a "cancel" button on the front panel. It may be easier to press this to cancel the print job rather than deleting the print job from the spooler. The cancel button is typically marked with an "X"; pressing it will stop printing and discard the remainder of the print job.

Print Jobs Stuck in Print Que

I have a USB printer connected to my MacPro (Leopard), the driver is correct, has been reloaded, print system reset, etc., all of the expected fixes for routine issues. I've replaced the USB cord, tried another identical printer, etc.
About 2 in 5 print jobs go to the print que but stop there. I work around it by unplugging the usb cord, re-plugging, and pressing resum on the print que. Occasionally I have to do that twice, but it never fails to work. What a pain-in-the-arse#$!!@ Network printers always seem to work.
There have been several similar posts over time, most of which seem to die. I don't want to install a third party driver, alter the CUPS, or do anything else other than use the OS I purchased. This seems to occur with several brands of printer (mine is an HP), so I've got to believe that it is an OS problem.
Can anyone own up to it? Is there a fix in the works? I've had printing issues with OSX since the initial OS (which could not respect margins, printer features, etc.). I've never had an issue with Windows (it just seems to work).
Help!

Hmm. I have an HP printer that's behaved fine, but I've moved it to my iBook (running Tiger) so I can print wirelessly.
It may be an issue with the driver or the software. I'm guessing the software was written for the PPC machines, and that might be causing the problem.
The way I've checked this is to open up "Activity Monitor" (Applications>Utilities) and find the processes related to your HP printer (usually begin with "hp") under kind what's shown?
You might want to look into the CUPS idea presented earlier as it may give you better results.

Printing from CS3 under Vista to Windows 2003 server print que very slow

I just upgraded one of my machines to vista with CS3. I normally print to a windows 2003 server print spool que. When I go to print it takes forever to pull up my different printers and then go to properties. On my XP machines there is no problem, I can select the print que, go into properties for my printer and it works fine. Something with Vista, CS3 and WIndows 2003 server?
Thanks

Im curious about your 802.1x issues are. Im testing user profiles VS login window profiles for 802.1x on our Cisco wi-fi LAN right now, and I'm scratching my head on how the login window profile is actually supposed to work. Its a chicken-and-the-egg situation for me. I cant use user login window profiles, I have to use user profiles, which don't work very well in my environment for various reasons. Granted, it has improved since 10.5.3, but its still not working as I expect it to work. Do you have a Apple Discussion post related to this issue I can read?
Sorry for hijacking this discussion with off-topic content...
