Print Server doe not broadcast name of Mac printing

I have a bunch of MacMinis that are ethernetted to a Win2000 Print Server, using Windows Print service. The print server feeds several postscript printers around the building. Before upgrading to OS X the OS 9 Macs we used were sending the shared computer name of the Mac that was printing to the printer. Now, with OS X, the name being sent to the printer is System. The MacMinis are using Appletalk to print. Is there anyway to change the name being broadcast to the printer to include the shared name of the Mac sending the print file?

I tested this in my lab to a Win2k03 server (didn't have a Win2k server handy) and with macintosh services and unix print services enabled, I didn't get the same problem. Using AppleTalk the user account short name showed in the Windows printer queue, albeit with extra information.
If I used SMB, then whichever account name that I used to create the Mac printer queue appeared in the Windows queue, regardless of the account that I used to login to the Mac.
Last thing I tried was using LPR, which didn't require any authentication to the Windows server, so that which ever account I used, that was shown in the Windows queue.
So this may give you some other protocol options to try.

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer. I can ping all
network devices. I can connect to the internet.
On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

Hi,
After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller.
Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
go through beneath article for more details.
1. Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
2. Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
3. Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Hope it helps!

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password" This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions.

I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
Did it ever work?
Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.

When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

Print Server does not show local USB printers (OS Server 10.3.9)

I have mac OS X 10.3 server sharing my local USB printer for over more than 18 months, suddently on Jan 6th 2007, my server refused to see them in
the Print Services in the Admin tool.
The last log I got from starting it is on jan 5th:

I can still print locally to the machine (obvisouly no other computers on my network can !).
The Print Service tab, let me add 3 types of queue: LPR, appletalk and OpenDirectory but NOT USB !!!
On Jan 8th I have installed FCP and that's the extend of my modification....

I have tracked the problem a little deeper, and it's caused by the PrintServiceMonitor.
If you run in a Terminal:
:/private/etc/cups root# PrintServiceMonitor -x
PrintServiceMonitor: Initialization error (-9948)
_Assert: ASXPrintServerLib.cpp, 452
ktrace seems to point to a CUPS config error but I can't find what's wrong with it.

Printing via Network USB print server suddenly not working any more

I have always been able to print with my USB
printers connected through a small, pocket-sized Keyspan USB Print server, Model US-4A, very easily and seamlessly, - until the very latest update to Snow Leopard.
This server is connected to my router and the rest of my in-home Mac network by means of an ethernet port, and it has four USB device ports, 1 each for my various printers and a flatbed scanner. It worked well under OS 10.6 until just now.
Now, all of a sudden, though the server hardware can still easily "see" and connect to
the printers, when I actually hit 'PRINT', then the Mac OS
print dialogues are showing some of the printers as "offline." They show up as 'unavailable' in the dialogue where you choose which printer to print to and the print dialogue boxes show the print jobs cused but then report - 'printer offline'
When I bypass the print server - and connect the same
printers directly to the Mac's USB ports, they print fine.
It suits my setup to be able to continue printing via the print server, however, and I am wondering what sort of new issue could now begin fooling the MAC OS into thinking printers are not connected when it has had no trouble with the same print server and exactly the same physical connections previously ?
I've already tried 'deleting' and uninstalling the printers and then reinstalling, and this attempted fix does not work.
Any suggestions here ? Is this a known issue with 10.6.3 ?
What has happened to suddenly bring this about ? Any ideas ?

It appears that 10.6.4 has essentially broken the US-4A usb server. Keyspan's (now Tripp-Lite) response is that the latest driver is for 10.5.x and Snow-Leopard is still not supported. (1 year after 10.6.0 was released to the public). In fact, their response is that they do not even know if they will continue to produce the US-4A. Note that the U2S-2A (2 port USB 2.0) server does not support 10.6 either. Shame on Tripp-Lite for continuing to advertise, and sell a product that does not work with the current version of OS X.

Print from Windows XP to a shared Mac printer

My Mac is using OS 10.3.9 and I want to share my ML-1210 with a PC. I attempted to use CUPS but the PC claims the ML-1210 cannot be "shared". Is there a step-by-step process for sharing a Mac printer with a PC? Thanks.
1) I have installed the latest Samsung-GDI with foomatic and ESP ghostscript driver combination for my ML-1210 (which apparently is supposed to assist in sharing).
2) I added the printer on my PC linking it to my Macintosh as sharing;
3) When I attempted to print nothing happened. I opened the PC Print Center and found there was an error. When I opened properties/sharing on the printer I received an error message "Sharing is not supported for this kind of printer".
4) I'm almost positive I've seen postings on the web claiming that this printer has been shared. So I'm obviously still doing something wrong...
Thanks for your assistance

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.

Print preview window not showing page to be printed

My wife and I just downloaded Firefox to our new Macbook Airs with Lion. The small preview box in the print layout widow does not show the page being previewed. In addition, the selected print windows are not holding from print session to print session.
I love Firefox on my old Mac, so please help us resolve this problem.

Sean, I was importing directly from the camera to Lightroom. I might add that I have been using this same procedure for a couple of years now and only within the past few weeks have the problems come up and if I made some change somewhere along the line I certainly have no idea what the change was. As I have mentioned before in some of this forums communications, when I imported directly from a card reader outside of the camera, everything was just as it should be and yet up to a couple of weeks ago, I could import directly either from the camera or a reader card with the same perfect results. (This is from my Canon XTi as I do not have a card reader yet for the G10) I would assume a card reader will work as well for the G10 and so I have ordered one and hopefully this will be a rather simple solution to the problem. As John had indicated in one of his messages he occasionally liked to import directly from the camera and I echo that as I do also.

Update --PSE 11 - MacOX 10.7.5 -MORE-Printer and Profiles Not Working Correctly for first print

Adobe seem to have implemented the CS5 print screen format.
PSE11
1. page setup the entire OSX print screen comes up where you then set all your settings including paper type, paper size and all other things including paper format, colorsync or epson etc.     you then save it       and finally go to print.    completely different.
2. options select profile
3. print
it also seems everytime you go to print the actual paper size is not remembered you must go in select page set up again   do nothing then go out and it adjusst itself again. Yes, my osx preference file is set recognize this printer as my primary printer.
More as the story unfolds.    I have yet to hear if anyone have this problem.
cheers elo

It does seem like strange behavior but thanks for sharing the work around.

A mail POP server is not downloading to my Mac. (It is fine on my iPhone.)

My mail application (Mail 5.2) is not downloading one of my POP servers. The others are fine and this one downloads OK to my iPhone. I have tried rebuilding the mail account and same problem. This used to work fine until a couple of weeks ago. The communication test says OK so the password and address are fine. Any one with similar experience? Any ideas on how to fix?

The answer of BobTheFisherman is perfect.
If your provider also have an IMAP server it is only a matter to setup your mail.
If your provider has only POP you can try to set the server to do not delete the mail after downloaded by the iPhone. Not all POP servers let you to use this setting. Try the setting on the iPhone and you will receive the mails also on the Mac. But if you get the mail before with the Mac you will not have it in the iPhone.
I have only IMAP, do not know if you can set also Mail on Mac to leave mail on the server after download.
But if you leave the messages on the server with both your devices you should remember to connect to the server from time to time with a browser to manually delete the mail or your box will quickly be full.

Dlink DPR 1260 Print Server does not allow scanning anymore in 10.5

The DPR 1260 was working fine under 10.4 on my PB G4 allowing shared printing and scanning. When I tried to use it under 10.5 on a MacBook, the print function still works but none of the advanced functions like Scanning from a shared USB Multifunction Scanner/Printer (Photosmart 3100) work. Any ideas?

Come on - are you saying I dont know if I am using Windows or Mac OS X?? I've been using Macs only for about 17 years now
No - its NOT multifunction via NETWORK - but Scanning via the Browser window. You can (on Mac OS 10.4) initiate a scan via a web browser and the resulting image is loaded in the browser window - you can then right click and then save the image. Works very well - on 10.4 - but on 10.5 (or on Intel Macs), the browser page for scan is not accessible anymore.
Here's an emulator from Dlink site for this:

I am entering in my address book, enter whole name address etc but when I go to print a label only the address get printed no name

Thunderbird gets all suggestions for addressing from one of your address books. You have two books by default. The Personal and the Collected books. If you have sent an email to the wrong address then it will be in your collected book for sure. You need to go there and delete it and then find any other occurrences of the incorrect address and fix or delete it.

Hi all,
I (like many of you) upgraded my Mac Mini Server yesturday. The install went well, except that when I start the Server.app, I end up with the default Server.app window and an eternal beach ball cursor... it checked into the apps and system logs and nothing coming out of Sever.app. However, there is a possible trace on slad... Anyone with similar problem or suggestions ?
thanks!

The program is unresponsive.
