Printer setup with lpadmin, access problems to driver settings

Hello,
I have been using lpadmin in a script to add printer connnections to our Cups server. After running the script I have configured the printers in the Print & Fax centre, defining duplex units and extra trays where applicable.
In Mac OS 10.5 it works fine, but when I open the driver option dialog in Mac Os 10.6, set an option and click OK, the option change is not saved. This means that our Snow Leopard users cannot print duplex or on other than the default printer tray.
If I add a printer manually in the Print & Fax dialog everything works fine, ie the driver option dialog opens when I add the printer, and the changes I make are saved. As several printer have to be set up on several Macs, this manual procedure is not an option.
Is there some new option for lpadmin in Snow Leopard that I have to use, or am I missing something else? The command line I use looks like this:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printer -v ipp://cupsserverip:631/printers/printer -E -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP\ Color\ LaserJet\ 5550.gz

Welcome to the Apple Discussion forums.
Setting the options using the Print & Fax dialog box seems to be saving the installed options for a test printer I just installed using the lpadmin command. You could also try using the web interface at _http://127.0.0.1:631/printers_. Just click on the printer and then choose set default options from the pop up menu.

Printer Setup Utility will not allow new driver to be added

I just bought a Canon Pixma MP960, installed the drivers and then downloaded the driver from their website. When I go to add a new driver in Printer Setup Utility--i highlight the MP960 connected thru USB, but the 'add' feature is not lit up. When i have it search for new drivers, it detects a new driver, but when I hit 'add'--Printer Setup Utility "unexpectedly quits" every time. The only drivers in there are beta thingies that do not work w/ my printer.
The Canon tech guy says that there is a problem with my Printer Setup Utility--but i can't seem to find a solution online. I don't know much about macs, but can I update the Printer Utility program or something? help!

Part of the problem might be if you actually have more than one version of the driver for the printer installed on the computer. Check the drivers at Mac OS X disk/Library/Printers/Canon/ and make sure there is only one plugin for the printer. If you have more than one, trash both and download and install only the driver from Canon that is compatible for Mac OS X 10.4.x. After you install the driver, run Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility. If you have only one correct printer driver plugin installed, it should work.

[Solved] No printer setup module in KDE 4.1 System Settings

I have cups installed, and gutenprint, but I really don't know how to use them outside of the normal KDE 4.1 gui. However, when I invoke "System Settings" I see no printer setup module in either the General or the Advanced tabs. Any ideas what I might be missing?
I'm hoping to setup my Canon i560, which ran very nicely under Kubuntu 8.04.
Thanks!

Okay, here's how I worked around the issue...
a) I opened http://localhost.localdomain:631/printers/canoni560, which accesses the CUPS printer administration program in Firefox.
b) I chose a different driver by deleting the i560 printer and selecting "add printer," then selected the "Canon i560 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2" driver
c) Bingo. It worked.

Canon Wireless Printer Setup on MacBook Air without Super Drive access

I just bought a Canon Pixma MX 920 Printer and can't figure out how to install the wireless setup and the printer drivers without using the startup CD as I don't have access to a Super Drive. I have a 3 month old Mac Air using Mountain Lion and I'm also trying to set this up on an older Mac Air. The Canon website has been no help at all. I'm installing this for a family member while visiting from out of state so I'd like to do this before I leave Monday. Suggestions?

You can download Apple's drivers:
Apple Canon Laser Printer Drivers 2.0
Apple Canon Printer Drivers 2.11
You can also go to Canon's support site to locate and download drivers for specific printers.

HP - Officejet 100 Wireless Printer Setup with Chromebook

I am considering on purchasing this printer to use in my dorm. I have an HP Chromebook 14 and wanted to know how to connect it to the printer. Does it just work with bluetooth straight out of the box after I insert my wifi settings? DO i just turn on Bluetooth and send the files? I don't have a desktop to install the driver, like most normal printers would require, so I am relying on Google Cloud Print and Bluetooth printing. There is no way to install a driver on my Chomebook because that is not how the are made to work. Is there any other way to set it up without have to install any drivers? Or will it just work once I connect it to either wifi or Bluetooth? Any help is helpful.

Hi,
Your printer isn't web enabled so may may not be able to setup google cloud print via blue tooth.
There is a HP 1200w NFC/ Wireless Mobile Print accessory for your OJ100 mobile printer to enable it to support wifi printing:
Here's the link that shows how to set up your OJ100 with the HP 1200w:

Leopord Users with intermittent access problems

We have intermittent issues with network users on two separate servers not being able to login, or loading the wrong group permissions from the server. We have tried deleting /Library/Managed Preferences on the local machine to force reloading,and it sometimes fixes the issue but not always. We end up logging in/out and restarting a number of times until the right permissions load. Apple says upgrade to Snow Leopard, but that would mean new intel based servers and we have apps that have not been approved on snow leopard.
Does anyone have any other ideas how to deal with this issue, ie, does anyone use the computer list in workgroup manager?

Barcode printing issues with Laserjet 1100 8.1 driver

Hi All,
I've ran into issues printing coupons to my Laserjet 1100 printer using Windows 8.1. This worked with no issues (and still does) in Windows 8. Looking at the driver versions, it appears that something was updated form 8 to 8.1.It seems this issue is related
to printing any barcodes. Has anyone else encounters this? Is there any way I can use the Windows 8 driver instead?

For anyone interested, the way I was able to fix this issue is with the
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=4157320&ac.admitted=1399039456352.876444892.199480143
I selected Windows 8.1 x64, then downloaded the PCL5 driver and now the barcodes work.

Print issue with vpn access

I read that print access is only possible via IP address rather than name when connected on vpn. Appreciate if anyone can help me understand why is it so.
Thanks in advance

Jan's response made me realize I probably misinterpreted the new question.
To get internet access on the client, indeed you need to do one of 2 things:
- as Jan said, configure split-tunnel so the internet traffic does not pass through the tunnel
OR
- enable U-turn on the ASA, which includes allowing same-interface traffic and creating a NAT rule for traffic from the VPN pool to the internet

Printer Error with Shared USB printer

Greetings;
I have just installed my HP 7760 on my new G5, and I am attempting to print via shared usb to my G3 Imac which is running 10.3.9 I have used this setup lots in the past but with both MAC's running 10.3.9, Now all I get is "Print Error"!
I can see the shared printer on the G3 and select it on the G5 but it just results in a print error when I attempt to print.
Any thoughts would be most helpful

Hi Greg;
Many thanks for your interest in my problem. I have done the following;
1. Installed the latest drivers from HP on both machines
2. Removed and then added the printer.
3. Repaired permissions on both computers and restarted.
This seems to be related to 10.4.3 as I have read some references to this in other threads. Prior to the G5 with 10.4.3 I was printing with the G3'es under 10.3.9 using USB sharing with no problems. I have no problem printing from either computer when the printer is connected directly and I can see the shared printer in printer setup and have no problem selecting it however I am still getting the "print error" when printing to the shared printer.
I am going to try one more experiment, I no have the printer connected directly to the G5 with printer sharing turned on. I will try to print to it from the G3and see what happens. I will post the results when complete.

All applications quit unexpectedly after choosing page/print setup

i recently installed HP photosmart c6180 All-in-one printer. not working properly. now all applications that have print options dont function when choosing page setup or print. can anyone pls help me. i have installed and uninstalled a few times

Here's several things you could try.
1. Open the Printer Setup Utility (Applications > Utilities), delete the driver again and then click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System. Restart the Mac and then add the printer again.
2. Downloading and installing the 10.4.10 Combo update for the type of Mac you have (ie. PPC or Intel)
3. Opening Disk Utility and running Repair Disk Permissions
4. Using Fixamac's Printer Setup Repair utility to see if it can determine what is wrong with the printing system.

TCP/IP Printer installs - How do I get the proper driver settings?

I saw an older thread relating to this but I thought I would start a new one to revisit this thought. I want to deploy my printers as TCP/IP and not rely on a shared print server. This is in case the print server goes down, the users
will still be able to print. How can I get my driver settings to propagate to the users? We use HP printers with settings like Printer Status Notifications, what tray to use, pages per sheet, duplexing, etc. We also use Zebra label printers
with custom stock sizes and tear-off values.

Don't change IP addresses. Implement a DNS alias ("PRNSRV" or whatever)
and point that to the hostname of the current production print server.
And exporting/importing can be automated throuhg PrintBRM.

Hi anyone got a SAMSUNG SCX-4200 PRINTER working with a Mac ?

Hi has anyone managed to get a Samsung scx-4200 printer working with a mac?
2011 driver was the last driver update for mac i hear, downloaded tried a couple but no luck!!!

okay, from what I've read, samsung driver support lies with Apple and not Samsung, so if you can, do a software update
you can try here, apparently, for something that sorta works with your printer
http://www.samsung.com/nl/support/model/SCX-4623FN/SEE
other than that, Gutenprint maybe?

ODBC Driver with Access problem

I have problems with fields of the number(9.3) datatype. in my linked access tables numbers like 1555.33 are shown as 155533.
I'm using the oracle odbc driver version 9.2.0.54 with a 9i (9.2.0.1.0) Database.
I've reading at an old post called "number(9.3) DataType in MS Access". Where I've found someone with the same problem as me. I've done everythink which is explained on that message, but it still doesn't work.
Is there anything else to do?
Thank you in advance!

The following is extracted from Oralce's Metalink: (sorry lost the link)
"This is an NLS related issue. The ODBC driver uses the values derived from the NLS_LANG setting from the Oracle Home where the driver is installed.
The application actually uses the number setting from the NT Regional Settings.
When these two settings differ, then the decimal character will be cut off. This behaviour is also described in Bug:694323.
Example:
You have set your NLS_LANG in the ORACLE_HOME of your ODBC driver to GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8ISO8859P1. This will result in a value for the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS of ",." (the first part of the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS being the decimal character and the second part being the group separator).
So the "." is used by the Application and the "," is used by the Oracle ODBC driver.
As a result numeric values in your Oracle Database with an integer and a decimal part will thus be displayed by the application without the decimal character, i.e. a value of 10,734 will be displayed as 10734 a value of 0,123 will be displayed as 123.
To fix this, you will either have to correct the character used for the Decimal Symbol of your NT Regional settings to match the value of your Oracle NLS_LANG setting or vice versa. To change the value for NLS_LANG, go to your registry and change the NLS_LANG parameter that is situated under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOMEnnn/NLS_LANG where HOMEnnn is the home where your Oracle ODBC driver is installed."
Hope this helps, resolved our issue with this problem.

I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?

If you have this product,

you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.
