Print server properties

The pages printed vary in print size. I can print a test page correctly, but when an email or screen page prints, it's 150% or bigger, so it doesn't fit letter-size paper.
I've checked all "print preferences" and paper size is "letter." However, " print server properties" has paper size 10x11. I've tried to change that but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi @bergerbud,
I have helped many people increase their text size, but not many say the text size is too large. I wonder if the information I have posted for other about increasing font size would help, if you keep in mind you would need to do the opposite. (Does that make sense or is that confusing?! )
Please take a look at the following link and let me know if it is at all helpful; Print size.
As you will see modifying the text size is going to depend on the program you are using. What program are you printing from, and does this issue arise when you print from all programs?
Please use the thumbs up below if you happy with my efforts to help. If the issue persists, I will do all I can to help works towards a solution.

Print Server Administration

We have a SUN 6500 Enterprise Server running Solaris 8 which services all our branch office within the country
I am trying to setup a SUN Blade as a Print Server in order to manage printers at the various remote locations.
I need help on how to achieve this. I feel it should be possible as such is possible in a Windows network environment.
Thank You,
Aniekeme Etokimo

Hi again, sorry, just realize the txt are scramble. In summary, I setup a standalone w2k8 Enterprise R2 SP1 server. Installed Print and Document Service to make it a print servrer. I then delete the defaul MSX printer and its printer driver package
to make it clean. I then download Lexmark Universal PS3 Version 2 driver and install it by script. it is all good. as a member of local administrators group of the print server via AD, I can run Print Management on my windows 7 workstation
and connect to the server and able to create new printer using the pre-installed driver as mentioned above. I assigned the Manage Printers and Manage Server permission through the Print Server Properties from Print Management (this is done by Print Management
on the server itself) to our level 2 staff so that they can add printer queue using the PMC on their workstation to the server without the need to RDP and log on to the server. This is because they are not server administrators. According to this
docco Assigning Delegated Print Administrator and Printer Permission Settings in Windows Server 2008 R2, it should work but no, it didn't work. it allowed the users going through the Add Printer wizard and right at the end it came up
with the error message - Printer Driver was not installed. Access Denied. I then add them to the local administrators group of the server, then they can.
have I done something wrong or missing something? Any helps would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Tu

How to connect to Linksys Wireless Print Server (WPS54GU2) from WIndows 7

I tried the Print Server Utility that was loaded from the WPS54GU2 user install disk. Ended up with an AddPort error.
Went ahead and created local printer for printer I was trying to get to (Epson Color Stylus 400). Did a "Printer Properties" on the printer after it is was created and clicked on the "Port" tab. Clicked on the "Add Port" button and selected "Standard TCP/IP Port" from list. Clicked on "New Port" . Wizard came up and clicked "Next" on this screen. I typed in the IP address of my Print Server (with no Port Name) and let it search for a while and it eventually failed. A screen came up requesting "additional port information" so I clicked on the "Custom" button and then clicked on the"Settings" button. Here I typed in the correct port name (which in my case was like LKxxxxxx where the x's are numerics). The IP address is already filed in. I checked the LPR button and made up a Queue Name and typed it into the Queue Name text box.
After clicking OK I tried printing to the printer and everything seemed to work correctly.

I have the same issue as I have a new Windows 7 machine that is hardwired to my Linksys WPS54G. This is my main office PC and I have other computers throughout the house that are connected wirelessly to the WPS54G. I've tried to create a new port for printing based on the posts from other users but it still won't work. I've run the Linksys configuration and my PC sees the printer server. Am I missing a step?
Here is what I've done
Go to ports
Add new port
Standard TCP/IP Port
Click new port (Wizard comes up)
Enter printer name and IP address ( I enter my IP address for the Print Server 192.168.1.x)- Port name is same as IP Address (does this matter?)
Go to custom settings and set for LPR with Queue name of LP1 (or should it be L1?)
LPR Byte count box checked
Click next and finish
Do I need to restart my computer?
What am I missing
Thank you

Printing to Belkin Wireless Print Server

I currently have a wireless network set up in which 3 computers wirelessly print to an HP PSC 750 through a belkin print server. I now have a MacBook pro and want to be able to print to the same printer. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

For driver, you'll need to use a third-party CUPS driver, like the Gimp-Print drivers included in OS X. If the 750 isn't in that, update to the new version of Gimp-Print, now called Gutenprint:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
To setup for the print server, you can get the print server's IP address and queue name from a PC that's setup (go to printer properties > ports tab and click configure port to see the details).
Read the print server docs carefully to figure out which protocol(s) is supported. The IPP and LPD protocols both require a device-specific queue name (also called port name), which should be in the manual. Common queue names are L1, lp, P1 etc. HP Jetdirect doesn't use queue name. HP Jetdirect equals raw port 9100 printing in PC-oriented manuals.

Printing to a printer via a print server

Hi all,
I have a slight problem with printing from an application that I have written. The application does print correctly if the printer is connected to the PC locally, however the printer has recently become attached to a print server and since then I have been unsuccessful in printing via my application.
When I try to print, the print dialog appears with the default printer being the networked printer; however when I click 'Okay' to printer, the application locks up and nothing is ever printer.
I can view the properties of the printer from 'Windows' and can printer a test page, also using Office prints fine, so its not a incorrectly configured printer thats the problem. I have also tried printing with the firewall off, but to no avail.
Heres the code that I use for printing, although I can not see anything wrong with it.
private void printData() throws DVDDatabaseException, PrinterException {
    // Get a printing Object
    PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    PrintService printer = printJob.getPrintService();
    if (printer == null) {
        throw new DVDDatabaseException("No Default Printer Available");
    // The view is the page source
    printJob.setPrintable(this);
    if (!printJob.printDialog())
        return;
    maxNumPage = 1;
    printJob.print();
}Thx

Greg,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I added another printer using LDP protocol, specified the address as 192.168.1.100, Identified the que as "LPT", then, on a hunch, clicked the "More Printers" button. The dialog box defaults to AppleTalk in the Local AppleTalk Zone and after a brief moment the "Name" of the printer appeared as SCF** (Hex) which, lo and behold, is the name of the PPSX1 as printed on the bottom of the device! At this point I selected the NEC's PostScript print driver and VOILA! Super duper 1200 DPI PostScript output, just like the old days!
Man...whew! Thanks again. Your Guru status is well-deserved.

Need to export windows 7 x64 builtin printer driver to a x86 print server

Hi,
We're planning our migration to windows 7 x64. But our environment doesn't have a x64 server neither a Server 2008; we only have x86 server 2003.
We are having trouble with printer Konica Minolta Bizhub 161f. I spoke with Konica support, they advised me they do not have a x64 driver for this model yet. The tech told me i can use the
HP LaserJet Family PCL5 driver built-in windows 7. I connected the network printer and selected the built-in driver from the list. So far this works as a charm.
Here's my concern, in order to upload x64 drivers to a 32bit server, i need to first to connect the printer from the print server to my x64 computer. But when i try this, i don't have the
prompt to select a driver from win7 built-in drivers. When i choose connect to... it asks me to locate a INF file on my computer. I don't have the INF file since its built-in windows. I tried to look within Windows's file system, under "Windows\INF\" but i
couldn't find what i need.
1. How can i export or find a built-in driver file within windows 7?
2.Is there is a better way to upload x64 drivers to a 32bit Server 2003?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Regards,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,
Thanks for the post.
Here is how we find the built-in driver file within Windows 7:
1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows X64\Drivers\Version-3\{Printer Driver Name}, in the right panel, check the value of "InfPath". Now we will get the specific path of INF file.
2. On a x32 Win2k3 server
Click on Start, Control Panel
Double click on Printers
Press the ALT button
or
Click on Organize, Layout, Menu Bar
Click on File, Run as administrator, Server Properties...
Click on the Drivers tab
Click on Add...
Click on Next
Uncheck the 'x86 Type 3 - User Mode'
Check the 'x64 Type 3 - User Mode'
Click on Have Disk...
Click on Browse... (to the x64 Win7 machine)
\\X64Win7\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prn*.inf_{GUID}
For example:
\\X64Win7\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnhp001.inf_5fecfc5e\prnhp001.inf
Click on Open
Click on Ok
Under "Printers"
Select the print driver that you want to install
Click on Next
Click on Finish
Now you should be able to see the x64 print drivers installed under the "Processor" column.
Click on Close
In this case, we need to pay attention to the match of INF file name. As the Konica Minolta Bizhub 161f 32-bit printer driver has been installed on Windows Server 2003, but you try to install HP LaserJet Family PCL5 64-bit printer driver. The two INF files
will not be the same, which causes the x64 driver can be instaled as an additional driver. So we need to change the INF file name to match the 32-bit one. I cannot guarantee that the method can totally work on this case as it may involve some custom settings
from printer manufacturer. If needed, I suggest you contact Konica Support when you go through it.
Hope this helps.

Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.

Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.
Our Setup:
Printers are hosted on Server 2008 R2 Print Server.
Two local printers are created on the print server for each Xerox MFP that we have.   Example: Xerox MFP (B&W) - Default settings are set to print black and white only.    Xerox MFP
(Color) - Default settings are set to print color.     So for every MFP we have two printers are created.
Both variations of the network printers are deployed to the users with the Black and White version being the default.    If a user needs to print something in color, they select the Color version of the MFP printer.   This
helps us save on color toner costs.
This works great for web applications, Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, and other applications.   But, it doesn't seem to work in Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010.   Whatever the default printer is of the two versions that are deployed,
excel seems to hold onto those printer settings.
Example: If your default printer is Xerox MFP (B&W), when you select Xerox MFP (Color), it still retains the Black and White selection in the printer properties. However, if you select a completely different model printer such
as Fax, and then go to  Xerox MFP (Color), it will pick up the necessary default color settings.
If I install the printers locally on the user's PC/Computer, it works perfectly.   However, it doesn't work when they are utilizing the print server's printers.
Things that I have tried:
Different drivers for Xerox. Global, PS, PCL.
Different brands of printers.   Still experience the same issue.
Different port names.
Different protocols, raw versus LPR.
Different versions of excel, 2007 and 2010.
Looked through group policy to see if I could force it.
Checked the excel sheet settings, black and white only was not selected.
Tried most of the printer properties settings.
Created a Server 2012 print server and experienced the same result.
Xerox's custom configuration file editor.
*Something to note, if I have the black and white version utilize PostScript Drivers and the color version utilize PCL driver, it correctly loads the color settings.   However, if you utilize Postscript for both versions, it doesn't.
I have to vary the print drivers. Ideally, I don't want to have to do this because I want consistency between prints.

Hi,
Make sure you have the latest printer drivers - go to the manufacture's website, download and install if necessary.

Is the print server over-writing client printing preferences with defaults?

I'm testing a new 2012 R2 print server, and have set the printing defaults by clicking on the printer in Print Management and 'set defaults'. I used this to set things like double-sided printing etc.
When the printers are added to the test client workstations (manually, not by group policy), we then have to add in some details in printing preferences to authenticate that client to the printer. A valid access code, and print mailbox that tally with
the same settings on the printer. It's tedious, but that's what our current printers demand.
What's happening with the new 2012 R2 print server in testing is that it seems to be overwriting these authentication preferences and returning all the printing preferences to the defaults set on the print server.
It's likely that this is a feature or setting that I'm just not aware of, could anyone tell me please how to set those printing preferences as 'first time' preferences that can then be edited on the workstation, and persist?

Would you know of any resource where I could learn all the ins and out of printer management in 2012? A blog/a book/MVA course?
I assume you are using the General tab of the printer properties , then clicking Preferences to set the
Users defaults with the device specific data.
There are two ways to open up the Printing Preferences dialogue for shared printers that I'm aware of.
Open the Print Management console, open the print server, and printers. (1) Right Click on the printer and Set Printing Default or (2) Right Click on the printer, Properties, then from General Tab click Preferences.
Do changes made via both of those routes have the same affect regarding default settings that are given to the client or is there a difference between them?
I have been using method (1) above, but if there's any difference I'd be interested to know.
When it comes to adding the printers to the clients, there are also two options. (A) Control Panel, Printers, Add Printer, and add from directory. (B) In Windows Explorer, browse to the print server and double click the printer name to connect
it.
Is there any difference between those two routes? I had been using method (B), and then editing the preferences... when then seemed to be overwritten by the server defaults. Yesterday I used method (A) and so far the printing preferences for
the test clients have not yet been overwritten.

HP 4250TN Drivers on Windows Server 2008 Print Server

Hi:
I'm having a heck of a time with HP 4250 printers installed on a Windows Server 2008 printer server. First I used the PCL6 driver downloaded from HP site. But then after client computers install printer they cannot print from Acrobat in landscape orientation. Also, whenever I select Printer Properties on the server Windows responds that the print drivers are not installed, asking if I want to install them. My client machines are a mix of XP, W7 32-bit and W7 64-bit. I switched to the PCL5 driver on the server, which fixed the Acrobat landscape issue, but now none of my XP clients can install the network printer, even when browsing to the PCL 5 driver for XP as downloaded from HP's site (I have not had success installing the x86 drivers on my 64-bit printer server).
I can install the 4250 on an XP machine w/direct TCP/IP port using PCL 5e driver but then I defeat purpose of print server.
Any suggestions on easiest driver/print server installation/cfg. is greatly appreciated!

It appears that you have a commercial LaserJet in an enterprise enviornment. It would be best to post in the commercial LaserJet forums.

Adding x86 printer drivers to x64 print server

When attempting to install X86 inbox print drivers to an X64 W2K8 print server, the drivers are not found. Where do I locate the X86 inbox print drivers on an X64 W2K8 Server?Tyler McLaughlin

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please understand that we need to manually install 32bit drivers on a Windows 64bit 2008 printer server since the 32bit drivers are not stored on 64bit server.
In this case, I suggest we first contact the printer manufacturer to check if the appropriate driver is available. If so, please download it to the printer server.
After that, please try the following two methods to install the additional printer driver.
Method 1 (Preferred):
Step 1. Share a x64 print queue out
==============================
On the x64 Windows Vista RTM/SP1 or a x64 Windows Server 2008 RTM
Login with the Domain Administrator account or Local Admin account
Click on Start, Control Panel, Printers, Press the ALT button or Click on Organize, Layout, Menu Bar
Click on File
Click on Run as administrator
Click on Add Printer...
Choose "Add a local printer" or "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer"
And go through the rest of the steps to install a printer and make sure that you share it for example PrintShare1.
Step 2. Add the x86 print driver
==============================
On a x86 Windows Vista RTM/SP1 or a x86 Windows Server 2008 RTM
Login with the Domain Administrator account
Click on Start, \\x64W2K8 PrintServer (or a x64 Vista acting as a Print Server)
Double click on "Printers"
Right click on the PrintShare1
Click on the "Sharing" tab
Click on the "Additional Drivers..."
Check the box for 'x86 Type 3 - User Mode'
Click on Ok
Click on Close
Method 2 (Alternate):
On a x64 Windows Vista RTM/SP1 or a x64 Windows Server 2008 RTM
Click on Start, Control Panel
Double click on Printers
Press the ALT button
or
Click on Organize, Layout, Menu Bar
Click on File, Run as administrator, Server Properties...
Click on the Drivers tab
Click on Add...
Click on Next
Uncheck the 'x64 Type 3 - User Mode'
Check the 'x86 Type 3 - User Mode'
Click on Have Disk...
Click on Browse... (to the x86 (32-bit) machine)
\\x86W2K8\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prn*.inf_{GUID}
or
\\x86Vista\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prn*.inf_{GUID}
For example: \\x86W2K8\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnhp001.inf_5fecfc5e\prnhp001.inf
Click on Open
Click on Ok
Under "Printers"
Select the print driver that you want to install
Click on Next
Click on Finish
Now you should be able to see the x86 print drivers installed under the "Processor" column.
Click on Close
For your reference, here is some useful information about managing printer driver.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732946.aspx
Does it work?
If this issue still persists, please collect the MPSReport from the Windows 64bit 2008 printer server.
1. Download proper MPS Report tool from the website below.
Microsoft Product Support Reports
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=CEBF3C7C-7CA5-408F-88B7-F9C79B7306C0&displaylang=en
2. Double-click to run it, if requirement is not met, please follow the wizard to download and install them. After that, click Next, when the "Select the diagnostics you want to run" page appears, select "General", <and other necessary catalog>, click Next.
3. After collecting all log files, choose "Save the results", choose a folder to save <Computername>MPSReports.cab file.
Please send the files to me directly at [email protected]
Hope this helps.

Printing via printer-server fails

I recently bought a Surecom EP-4904AX broadband router to connect a Windows-ME PC and my 15" 1.67GHz Powerbook G4 (MacOS 10.4.8) to the internet simultaneously. The broadband router also has a built-in printer server which connects to a USB printer (in my case this is a Canon S-500).
Now, the Windows PC prints fine via the router/printer-server, but not the Mac. What happens is that I get a progress dialog, but close to 100% it just stops. The printer doesn't respond at all.
Having read that normal printer-drivers don't work in setups like this I downloaded and installed the Gutenprint/CUPS drivers instead (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3).
The printer still doesn't respond when trying to print from the Mac. What am I doing wrong?

Did you say you have this working on a PC?
Yup. Works fine there.
The router came with an installation CD for Windows (but not for Macs as always).
Here's how
to get the needed info from the PC -
(Sorry, this is oriented to Windows XP)
I've got Windows ME, but the principle should be more or less the same I guess.
Go to Printers & Faxes and right-cick on the printer
and select "Properties."
Go to the Ports tab and note the Description
(highlighted in blue on my PC). Standard TCP/IP port
or internet port are most likely.
Nope. It's different here.
It's assigned to the following port:
Surecom_1 (CanonS500192.168.1.1)
If I click on that setting I'm shown a list of all sorts of different ports (COM1, COM2, USBPRN1, LPT1, LPT2 etc.) where "Surecom_1 (CanonS500192.168.1.1)" is one of them.
There's also a button for port-settings which I press and get the following:
Printer server IP: 192.168.1.1
Printer name: Canon S-500
Click on Configure Port.
Here you'll find the IP address, and protocol
selection, and port number or queue name. If Raw is
checked and port number 9100 entered, that equals HP
Jetdirect protocol on OS X.
Hmmm... this seems familiar.
If I click on the button for printer queue settings there's a part for "queue data-format" and this is set to RAW. The only other option available is EMF.
Gimme a few minutes to try this out (using "HP Jetdirect -socket" which I've never used before).
YES, it works!!!!!!
But all's not a joy as the print quality isn't much to write home about. I printed out some text, and it's pretty weak (gray as opposed to black).
I assume this is because of the printer-drivers because I've experienced the exact same thing when I tried installing Linux on the PC. Printing was just as bad there, but within Windows, using the supplied Canon S-500 driver it prints razor sharp and black text is actually black.
Or could something else be the problem?
As mentioned earlier I'm using the Gutenberg/CUPS printer driver package and chosen the Canon S-500 driver, so it should be correct.

Issues configuring a router print server

I have an ASUS RT-N13U router that I'm hoping to be able to print off of (printer - Canon i560). I've set it up with a Windows computer and it works as expected, but I cannot get it to work on my Mac. I can't seem to figure out what is going wrong. In order to get it to work on my Windows computer, I used 192.168.1.1 and LPRServer and chose my specific printer (Canon i560), so I used the same parameters on my Mac. I followed these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8749886#8749886.
Once I set my printer up, I get the following message "Unable to verify the printer on your network. It can not be currently determined if ‘192.168.1.1’ supports the Line Printer Daemon (protocol). Would you still like to create the queue?". I choose to 'continue', but when I try to print the printer just says "The printer is busy."
I've been able to print off of USB for years, but I'd really like to be able to print wirelessly.
Your help is much appreciated, thank you!
- redrainbows

LPD/LPR print queues often require a specific queue name. If this is not entered when creating the LPD queue on the Mac then you can get the "printer is busy" message.
Since you have the Windows computer working fine then I suggest you check the print queue on Windows for information on what queue name or protocol to use. This can be determined by opening the Properties pane for the printer and selecting the Ports tab. If you then select the Configure Ports tab this will show what protocol you are using. By default, Windows will default to RAW Port 9100, which is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on the Mac. So if Windows is using this protocol for connecting via the Asus router then delete the current queue on the Mac and add it again, this time selecting HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol. If Windows is showing the queue has been configured using LPD, then it should also show what queue name has been used which you can the use to create a new LPD queue on the Mac.
One other note. The Canon Mac drivers cannot be used for some networked printer connections, such as when the printer is being shared by Windows or connected to a 3rd party print server. Instead you need to install and use the Gutenprint drivers. So you may need to look at using the Gutenprint i560 driver for your setup.

WPSM54G Linksys print server

I am trying to get this WPSM54G print server to work with my new macbook. It works with 2 other XP PC on the network. I have tried to get help on the linksys forums, but no luck. I have tried everything listed in this link:
http://defenestrated.typepad.com/defenestrated/2007/06/howto_configure.html
I have a Canon Pixma iP1500. I have also installed PrintFab as another recommendation to get this print server to work.
Please help!!!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Try using queue name P1 - often used by Linksys.
You can check what exact comm protocol is used on Windows. highlight the printer and right-click to select printer properties. Go to the advanced tab and then click on Configure port. There it will tell you LPR or raw port 9100. If it is LPR, there will be a queue name. If port 9100, there is no queue name and this equals HP Jetdirect protocol on OS X.

Update driver on print server - shouldn't clients get it?

We are having an issue with a Kyocera driver. We recently started getting new models of some of these Kyocera copiers, and with it a newer version of the same driver. The new copiers are slightly different. The driver version went from
5.x to 6.x We soon discovered that the two don't work well together on the same print server. Some departments all of the sudden can't print. The error they get is "can't connect to printer". As if there is no driver.
On the print server I updated the driver for our printer here in the IT department. I didn't just update it from the existing printer (Properties>Advanced Tab>New Driver), I instead deleted the printer, recreated it, and used the new driver when
I recreated it. That worked here in the IT dept. It does not work in other departments. A day later they still have the old driver. Rebooting does nothing. I got the new driver within 3 minutes of updating it on the server.
Seems like a rights issue. I give them "manage printer" rights. Still don't download the new driver. But... they can all of the sudden print - with the old driver! Makes no sense.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they get the new driver whenever I update it on the server?

Typically the clients will not request the new driver until the next time they perform a print task.
What operating system on the print server and on the client machines?
If server 2008 or greater, is the print driver package aware? You can see this in PrintManagement.
Are you admin on your own machine? Are the users that are not in IT admins on their machines?
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
What operating system on the print server and on the client machines?
On the Server it's 2008 R2. Clients are all Windows 7
is the print driver package aware?
In Print Management>Server>Drivers, it says "true" in the "packaged" column
Are you admin on your own machine? Are the users that are not in IT admins on their machines?
I am an admin on my machine. The non-IT users are not admins.
FYI: if the user attempts to print, they do not pull the new driver after that. They still have the old driver

How to setup Print server on multiple machines?

Hi,
Can someone please let me know the process to setup Print Server on multiple machines?
This is what I have been thinking.
1. Install Ghostscript on all the machines.
2. Setup Print Server on all the machines.
3. I guess I have to point the IP address somewhere as final step?
Thanks in advance
PM

The steps you have mentioned is correct.
When you set up the print service ,you will define the URL for Financial Reporting web application server in the .properties file and this will get registered in the HSS registry(This is the step where you run the FRprintserversetup.cmd).So when you run the setup from each print server there will entries created for the same in HSS registry.Then there will internal logic which will work on which server should take which process.
Thx
