Print Server Setup/Config

ok, i have a 2008 R2 server that i added the print server role too.
i have been following this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753109(v=ws.10).aspx 
but my question is when i add a printer by IP address (the search brought up 0 results) do i need to leave the "Share Printer" box checked? or uncheck it? 
after i add the printers to this server, i will then go to our AD Server and connect the print server in the print management console that is there on the main AD/Domain Controller. 
also plan to create a user based GPO to so specific users will be mapped to printers. do i need to create/add printers to the same OUs that the users are in in ADUC? 
i want to get the server right before i add it into AD as a designated PS.

In order for clients to connect to the shared printers, the Shared box needs to be checked.
Printers can be Published but that is not a requirement to deploy connections to the shared printers.
If you would like printers discoverable when clients attempt to find them in the domain, then Publishing the print objects to the domain would be needed.

  • HP DeskJet 712c Driver and Wireless Print Server Setup

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am unable to setup my printer to print. Previous to using the MacBook Pro I was using a windows machine without any trouble printing to this printer, however now I can't locate the printer on a list of pre-installed drivers for Mac. I've already checked HP's website and was unable to find any drivers that were for Mac OS. What is a good alternative driver source? Once I do get the driver what would my next steps need to be to set up the wireless print server to work with my mac?
    Printer: HP DeskJet 712c
    Wireless Print Server: D-Link DP-311P
    I would be grateful for guidance to go about this process so that I can use my printer again.
    MacBook Pro 2.16GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
    Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
    Good luck.

  • Wireless Print Server Setup Issue

    I have tried to set my MacBook Pro utilizing my D-Link DPR-1260 print server. I get the following warning when I try to use the setup wizard:
    Unsupported Operating System. The Printer Setup Wizard supports only Windows XP/2000/98/ME operating systems. Your computer uses the MacIntel operating system.
    Troubleshooting Tips - Refer to the documentation that came with your print server for printer setup instructions specific to your operating system.
    I have read and reread the printer manual and nowhere does it say anything about Mac setups. I have sent two e-mails to D-link and both have been ignored. The Mac recognizes the HP printer and will print if attached to it. When I attach the printer to the print server it will work wireless when I use a Windows based laptop and I really don't want to load Windows if I can get away with it. I have a D-Link wireless router and it works perfectly with the Mac.  I found a thread dated late 2007 but the instruction gif's the person attached expired so I can't see the details that made it work with the older version of OS X.
    Any ideas so I don't have to purchase another printer server specifically for Mac???

    You need two things -
    First, the HP-provided driver (on OS X) was written to only support direct USB printing, so you need a CUPS driver. Check here to find that and install it:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    (click on "printers" in the blue bar and look up your printer.)
    Next, you need to read your print server manual and figure out what comm protocols are supported and then enter the right info into the Add printer dialog. For example, the print server's queue name (also called port name) is a required entry (not default) for the IP > LPD and IPP protocols. If the print server supports TCP/IP raw or port 9100 or socket printing, those terms are all equal to the IP > HP Jetdirect protocol on OS X. That protocol doesn't need a queue name, so it's usually easier for Mac users. I think L1 or P1 are typical queue names on Linksys servers.
    If you need more help, I need to know the print server model #.

  • Wireless print server setup

    Have an HP 2355 which was hooked up local to Mac G5 10.4.10. Wanted to allow windows laptops to print to HP so set up 2355 with Linksys wireless print server.

  • Print Server setup from start to finish

    So it seems like Setting up OSX Server's Print Service is more problematic than many would like to believe. Basically, I have a bunch of printers that are working fine, accept that people are printing to them directly instead of going through the print server. I have followed scores of advice and have not solved the problem. I would love for someone with a working print server (i.e. print quotas working properly) to explain how they configured their machine from start to finish so I can try that. I'm really at my wits end on this one

    just want to bump this up to see if we get any responses. i'm having the same issue. i've read through the print service admin documentation and i'm having no luck at all. here is what i've done so far, maybe someone can tell me what's going wrong.
    enabled print services in server admin
    logged into the server hosting print services and added the printers. printing directly from this server works just fine.
    on a client computer added the printer using the server's .lan dns name and using the name of the queue as it appears in server admin's list of queues.
    when i try to print from the client, i get an error saying that the host is busy

  • Lion 10.7.5 cant connect to printer via Buffalo print server

    Hi everyone,
    I'm at my wits end with this one having spent over 20 hours on it.
    I have a Macbook Air running Lion 10.7.5 and a Macbook running OSX 10.6.8.  I have a Photosmart 8050 printer attached to a Buffalo Linkstation Live LS-CH1 running firmware 1.60 (the latest version for this model).  The Linkstation has a printserver which is attached via USB to the printer, the Linkstation is attached to a wireless router, for amound other things, wireless printing.
    The long and the short of my problem is, I can get the Macbook running 10.6.8 to print without a problem, works fantastic, but I can not get the Air running 10.7.5 to print through the print server even though the printers are installed the very same way on both machines.  The error from the print que is "unable to connect to printer" even though it seems to connect successfully to the Linkstation, as in my setup a username and password must be entered to access the printer, even though a user is logged in to the file server.  Not to get confused, I am 99% convinced the problem is with the Macbook Air running 10.7.5.
    I installed the printers using the Windows method, Workgroup -> Linkstation -> Printer then selecting the HP 8000 series driver version 5.0.4.  I have also tried every other install method available, however as I understand it, this is the recommended method for this print server setup.
    I have checked the network setup, driver versions and even though it does not seem to cover my printer have GutenPrint 5.2.9 installed.
    The printer does work when connected directly to USB however.
    If anyone has any idea why I cant get the Macbook Air running 10.7.5 to print via the print server on the Linkstation when 10.6.8 works perfectly, then please HELP!
    Thank you

  • Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

    I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
    Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
    I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
    Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
    Thank You,

    Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
    For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
    But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
    Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
    There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
    Hope this helps.

  • Print server and WRT120N

    Im trying to configure my PSUS4 print server to my new WRT120N but it cannot detect  my print server.  Is this possible?
    Please help.

    Yes. It's possible if the print server IP address is the same with the router. By default, the router's LAN IP is 192.168.1.1, same with the print server.
    All you have to do is to change the print server's IP address. You need the software that came with the printer server. You have to unplug the print server from the router and connect it to your computer for that matter. You may also have to unplug the computer from the router.
    Open your browser. Type 192.168.1.1. You should be able to access your print server setup page. Check the manual for details. Download the user guide here.

  • IBook printing with Belkin Wireless Print Server

    Hi Guys
    Ok, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am a windows user (groan!, get a proper computer, yes, I know. lol lol) But trying to set up a simple network consisting of three pcs, one laptop all running windows xp/vista and one IBook. Not the best on macs but can find my way round!! All works Ok as far as seeing each other on the network and communicating/internet etc. Have introduced Belkin wireless print server to network and all ok for windows regarding printing wirelessly over the network. However, the IBook I set up as IP printing and set the appropriate address in the ibook printer setup screen. But when printing from the IBook it says the print has gone but it is actually stuck in the queue and never prints. Can anyone help with what may be a simple entry in the setup or is it some black magic IBook setting that evades us windows users??
    All help will be gratefully received and promise to look at conversion!!
    Thanks in anticipation of help..........

  • WRT54G and a Netgear WGPS606 Print Server

    Hi,
    Am having some issues that I hoping someone can help me with.  First I have a broadband modem which is connect to my Linksys WRT54G.  I recently bought a netgear print server (WGPS606) to allow for wireless printing.
    In going through the setup of the print server I assigned it a static IP (192.168.1.150) address which is outside of the DHCP pool on the Linksys router (pool of DHCP address is 192.168.1.100 - 109).  The issue is that the print when it first starts up is assigned the IP address specified however after about 5-10 minutes...the Linksys router seems to reassign its IP address to something within the DHCP pool.
    I cannot seem to figure out where in the setup for the router you set up specific devices with static ip addresses.
    Any help or insight into this is greatly appreciated.
    M

    With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or print server, not in the router.
    Also, in the computer or print server, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
    It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
    The Linksys DHCP server does not "give out" an address unless an address is requested.  Therefore I would be suspicious that somehow the print server is requesting an address.   Usually "DHCP automatic" is automatically turned off when you setup your print server with a fixed address, but maybe, somehow, this is not happening in your print server.  If the print server has any kind of "DHCP automatic" setting, make sure it is off.  This could be a setting that you access through buttons on the print server, or through the print server setup software or setup pages.
    Also, I assume you are connecting your printer to the print server using a USB cable.  If you are instead using an ethernet cable to connect your printer to the print server, then it is probably your printer that is requesting the address.   In this case, either use a USB cable, or setup the printer itself with an address outside the DHCP server range, such as 192.168.1.151 
    Hope this helps.

  • Belkin Wireless Printer Server

    I have just bought an above. I needed to connect it to a wireless network at home to share a printer (Canon) with a PC and Apple computers.
    Belkin said it would work with both OS, but the CD came with only PC software. It installed and worked easily with PC, and now has an IP address. However, I cannot get the Apples to print to it.
    Any suggestions?

    To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers).
    For modern Canon printers (less than 6 yr old), you'll need to buy a driver from www.printfab.net.
    Sources of CUPS drivers:
    http://www.printfab.net
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
    http://www.easysw.com/printpro/
    Print Server Setup:
    On Windows they have setup software that works great, but it hides some details from you. On OS X we don't have the software, so we need to find and enter the details in Printer Setup. Specifically, if you use the IP > LPD or IPP protocols, the print server's on-board queue name must be entered in Printer Setup - it is part of the address that gets data to the printer. You can usually find the print server queue name in the manual. Common ones are L1, lp, lpt1.

  • C5550 non-compat​ibility with Netgear print server

    Netgear claims my HP Photosmart C5550 is in-compatible with their wireless PS121v2 print server.  What print servers are?

    Hi, Les,
    I think that info about Macs and postscript printers applies to OS 9.
    But there are usually two challenges to get this working:
    1. Driver - postscript drivers aren't limited to local connections; non-postscript drivers nearly always are (because manufacturers provided Carbon drivers that specify the comm type). A postscript PPD/driver for your model is included in OS X.
    2. Print Server setup. There's almost always an auto-setup wizard for Windows. We Mac users have to read the manual and understand what details to use in the Add printer dialog.
    First - what is called the TCP/IP protocol in the Netgear manual is the LPD protocol on OS X. What is called the Physical Port Name in the manual is equal to queue name in OS X. If I'm reading the correct manual, the queue name for parallel port 1 is "P1." Enter that in the space for queue name in the Add printer dialog.
    Good luck.

  • 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!
    Mark

    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 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.
