Print server how to

Hi all,
We are running two Novell 6.5 servers and about 40 Windows 2000/XP clients. Also we've got few network printers, all clients connect to them [printers] via windows add printer feature. This works fine but in order for client to use any printer someone must manually add this printer on that machine.
I know that on the Novell server we can run print server as well. Could someone possibly point me in the right direction where/how to set up print server on a Novell, what object must be created in C1, etc.
I am aware that this question may sound sill to probably to most of you but I am new to Novell server environment. I would appreciate your help.
Thanks
Andre

Istall/setup IPRINT!! Once you get it working, it is simple. The only
other way is iprinting, but you still have to manually install the
printers. I like the iprint setup....

Airport express as print server - how?

I was using an Airport Express with a (non-wireless) router supplied by my ISP for wireless broadband and wireless printing with no problems at all for a year or so. Then the router died, and my ISP provided a free replacement wireless router. This now provides my wireless access. I've connected the Express to the router using an Ethernet cable, with the printer (Epson 2100) connected to the Express as before. However I have only been able to print succesfully once or twice, and now nothing happens at all. I've reinstalled the printer driver and tried gimp-print to no avail. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks! I reviewed the link but am not sure I properly worded my question. I have a PC (without a wireless card) which is connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station to create wireless internet access in my house. Separately, I have an Airport Express (which is NOT connected to my main PC or any computer). I would like to connect my USB printer to the Airport Express and keep those in a separate room (again ... not connected to the PC). Can the PC print wirelessly via the Airport Extreme Base Station to the printer which is connected to a separate Airport Express (keeping in mind that the PC does not have a wireless card but is connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station)? I'm sorry for the questions ... I'm a little technically challenged and new to Apple products. By the way, setting up the Airport Extreme Base Station was incredibly easy! In conclusion, I cannot get the PC to "find" the Airport Express (maybe because the PC does not have a separate wireless card ???) ... and therefore I have a blinking amber light on the Airport Express.

How to set up Canon printer via Netgear print server ps121 on new macbook

I have bought a new Macbook (OS10.4.8). The Apple store gives a good deal if you buy a Canon ip4300 with it but I am having problems figuring out how to set up the printer to work thru my Netgear print server on my Netgear network. Can anybody advise:
1. I know my print server is on port 192.168.1.5, but what kind of settings do I use, IPP or LPT or something else?
2. Why can I not find the driver for the ip4300, even though I have used the CD that came with the printer and run the install program and the printer DOES work when I plug it directly into the USB port. Why does the Macbook come with drivers already installed for only a few ancient BJ Canons and why won't it show me where the driver for the ip4300 is since it is obviously already on the machine?
I know Netgear treats its customers with contempt (Linksys even worse). But I would expect a little more simplicity from Canon and Apple. I know I am an orangutan but it still seems incredibly difficult, as if they have hidden the printer driver on the computer and as if Apple does not want you to install networked printers. Please don't tell me to RTFM, I have read the Canon manual, it tells you how to network with Windows, does not even mention Mac. Any advice appreciated.

Hi zoevancouver,
If you are not able to set up your Canon MP460 printer, take a look at the article below. There is a link to the Canon website and compatible printers. Since this particular model is not on the list, you may need to contact Canon for additional support.

How to print to Canon irC5051 with Print Server?

[edit] I am using 10.7.5 not 10.6.8 sorry [\edit]
My company recently upgraded to Canon Image Runner C5051 units.
They added print servers with authentication for follow me printing (print at any machine around the building by authenticating).
I have read tons of discussions, forums and google articles on how to get image runners to print with os x - yet to no avail.
I have downloaded both the recent drivers from canon (the PS and URII) updates.
I can only seem to connect to the printer using the "Windows" domain feature in the add printer settings.
The Windows URL is \\printARL\ARLC-Secure.
I can ping the \\printARL and retrieve the IP address. But I cannot do the same with the full path (\\printARL\ARLC-Secure)
Trying to LDP print to the printARL ip does not work. I have no way of figuring out the full path ip address of the print server.
On my windows computer it shows "null" in the port/ip address on the PORTs tab.
So with URII I cannot identify the LDP ip address to use so if I connect via the windows domain it keeps returning error -50.
I guess this makes sense because its not LDP.
Using the windows search to connect and applying the Canon 5051 PS driver it seems to function.
It connects, allows to me authenticate, moves the file to the print server, and shows up at the printer.
But when I print, it does nothing. No output. ...sometimes it even makes the sound like it is printing, but then no dice.
If I try and Generic PS or PCL driver, it sends the document.
But when I print, it seems to produce a paper format error (thinks it LGL)
So if you force the printer to print to LTR, it spits out reems of giberish.
There must be something I am missing.

Sorry for missing your post. I don't check the 10.6 forums too often.
Reading your post it sounds like your are using uniFLOW, which is the follow-me printing app. So if you want to continue using this with the Mac there are a few things to note.
1. The Mac UFR2 driver wants to communicate directly with the copier. With print jobs being routed via the Windows print server (uniFLOW secure input queue) there is no chance of there being two-way communication and this often causes the -50 error you mention.
The solution is to use the Canon PPD, but this would require the ADV C50xx to have the optional Postscript kit. And given the gibberish output you mention it would seem that this kit was not purchased. So I would be talking to the Canon rep. If they had scoped your business correctly and saw the Mac/s then the PS kit should have been ordered.
2. You cannot ping the printer queue on the Windows server. So pinging \\printARL\ARLC-Secure won't work as you have found. But you can ping the Windows server, which you did and this worked. And, your issue is not due to an inability to connect to the Windows queue. It is a driver issue.
3. Using the PS driver appears to work. Lets you authentice but does not print. This is due to the lack of the Postscript kit in the copier.
4. Re the Generic PS, no PS kit means no printing. And the same goes for PCL.
So, in summary. The UFR2 driver is not designed to print via a Windows server. For your setup, the Postscript kit in the copier would solve your issue.

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,

How to set up standalone wireless print server

I need step-by-step instructions on to set up a KonicaMinolta bizhub multifunction printer to print wirelessly from various Macs. In other words, it would not be hooked up to the internet or my wireless network. I understand this can be done with an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme. I tried it with a Linksys WPSM54G wireless print server without success. I'd like to try the AirPort Express, but so far haven't been able to get it to work.
How do I configure my AExp to operate as a print server? How should I have it connected when I do the configuration?
How do I find the print server's IP address?
When I plug in the AExp and connect it to the printer via USB, the AExp flashes amber and never turns green (and therefore never connects with the MacBook).
If I successfully set up the print server as a separate network, can I be connected to the printer and my wireless network at the same time? Or do I need to switch back and forth?
If I'm accessing the internet via Ethernet, can I simultaneously access the printer via AirPort?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How do I configure my AExp to operate as a print server?
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) can only operate as a "print" server if the printer is attached to its USB port. Ethernet printers would require their own print server service if connected by Ethernet to either router.
How should I have it connected when I do the configuration?
Neither router would need a WAN port connection as both can provide a stand-alone wireless network. For a USB printer, it would need to be connected to the respective router's USB port.
How do I find the print server's IP address?
This would be the AirPort's LAN IP address. The default is: 10.0.1.1
When I plug in the AExp and connect it to the printer via USB, the AExp flashes amber and never turns green (and therefore never connects with the MacBook).
The flashing amber indicates that the AX has configuration issue. If you temporarily connect your MacBook directly to the AX's Ethernet port, and then, run the AirPort Utility, you can find out what the issue(s) is(are).
If I successfully set up the print server as a separate network, can I be connected to the printer and my wireless network at the same time? Or do I need to switch back and forth?
No, you would have to switch wireless networks. One way around this, is to have the AX configured to "Join a wireless network." This mode was specifically designed to allow the AX to perform as a wireless client and simultaneously provide both print sharing and iTunes streaming to network clients.
If I'm accessing the internet via Ethernet, can I simultaneously access the printer via AirPort?
Potentially, but your computer and the printer will be on separate broadcast domains/subnets.

How to Set up a Belkin F1UP0001 wireless print server in TIGER?

Hi,
I've been trying to make HP Laserjet 1220 work with Mac, it works in Windows 2000, but when i downloaded the universal/binary driver at HP website the printer is not working, so i decided to attached my old printer server :(( and i dont know how to do it, the belkin server could actually communicate with MAc since it printed an information about IP addresses...
Also, there anyway that i cold get teh proper printer driver for HP laserjet 1220?
Your reply could actually make my life easier, i've been trying to fix these for a week already.
Ciao!

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry but I am a bit of a network novice. In all the literature from apple re timecapsule setup it shows that you connect Lan from modem to Wan on Timecapsule. Why do you suggest connecting Lan to Lan? Can I not disable router function of Belkin modem and use Timecapsule as router?
Thanks.

How to print with HP Jetdirect 175g Print Server

I am using an old "Snow" Airport base station, which works perfectly well with my MacBook's AirPort card under Snow Leopard. Currently an HP Jetdirect 175g Print Server is plugged into the Airport base station. However, when I press the print server's configuration button, a page is printed out that merely indicates a subnet of 255. But otherwise does not offer an IP address, for use in setting up an Snow Leopard IP printer.
HP is of absolutely no help here. The print server was originally set up under Tiger, however since upgrading to Snow Leopard it no longer works. I am at a loss as to how to make this connection work that once did under TIger. There is no driver installer listed on HPs site for OS X.
How do I get this setup working again under Snow Leopard?

Hi there,
It's been years since I've worked with a JetDirect print server but at that time I used HP's Web Jetadmin application on Windows 9x. Checking the HP web site there doesn't appear to be a Mac version - still only Windows versions.
Looking at the HP web site, there appears to be a way to reset the print server and configure the network settings via telnet. Have a look at this document.

Any Idears on how to use my D-Link Router with Print Server on my mac ?

I just got recently a D-Link Router with Print Server.
The Model is a DI-704UP. does anyone know how i can access the printer to my G5 ?
talked to D-Link and Apple and they have no solution.
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

According to this page on the D-Link website about your product, the router includes a print server for Windows and that the software is for Windows only.
However, this page also on D-Link's website does offer you an unsupported solution.
Hope this helps! bill

How to add print server in server manager console

Hello,
I want to know how can I add print server in server manger console (not print management console)? I want to add another print server in server manager. I can add it by print management, but dont know how to add it in server manager. In server manager there
is only local server in Print Services.

Hi Amin2234,
As far as I know you can There are two primary tools that you can use to administer a Windows print server:
•Server Manager
•Print Management
Print Management provides a single interface that administrators can use to efficiently administer multiple printers and print servers and is the primary focus of this document.
Print Management provides a central administration point for sharing printers on a network and managing print server and network printer tasks.

HOW! Macbook + Macbook Pro And A WGPS606 Netgear Print Server

Hi there, having a spot of bother, lol
I have a pc laptop and 2 mac laptops.
set the print server up with pc laptop, and it works a treat, no problems! thou i did conenct 1printer and its in port 2, but following the instructions on the web i changed everything where necessary and pc lappy works a treat.
Now the macs.
1stly i installed the printer to work with a usb lead and it works on them both fine.
Then
I followed the instructions available from http://kbserver.netgear.com/kbwebfiles/N101570.asp
and when i get to select the printer type and model, the one i'm wanting to setup isnt listed, even thou its installed, and when you use the autodetect it comes up with a generic somet or other that doesnt work.
How do i get my printer listed or where do i find the file containing the driver info?
Ive seen a few of these problems crop up, but never the answers,
any help would be greatly apreciated!

Do you have a postscript printer? - otherwise this is going to be a two-step problem.
Driver - Only CUPS drivers can use OS X's built-in network printing protocols. (postscript printers don't need a driver, just a PPD) Of all the non-postscript manufacturers, only Brother is making CUPS drivers available at this time. (Apple included Gimp-Print drivers because they are CUPS drivers - a limited number of printers are supported)
For the others, you need a third-party CUPS driver from these sources:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
http://www.printfab.net/
http:/www.easysw.com/printpro/
Next - print server setup. Since the Windows setup software doesn't work on OS X, we need to find the setup details ourselves. Your print server probably supports a couple of protocols- LPD, maybe IPP, and HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw in most manuals). LPD and IPP require that you enter the print server's queue name in Printer Setup. Find the Queue name in the manual. L1, P1 and lp are common queue names.
Good luck.

How do I print to a wifi print server

How can I print on a wifi network. I have a printer connected to a wifi print server, but cannot see the server from my iPad.
ANy help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew.

The printer must be AirPrint compatible in order to print to it directly. AirPrint compatible printers are listed. Here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
There are some apps that work in conjunction with your computer and others that might work with your printer. Look for these in the app store.
The is also a product called XPrintServer that connects to your network and allows the iPad print supposedly to any printer on that network.

I don't think you can trace the printer's log from the Windows print server but you can setup Windows Audit Policy to see who printed the document when.
You can also check on the printer's log on the printer's web interface ( most of the network printer have this feature) to see the complete logs.
