Printing in Multiple Users

I just replaced an Epson network printer (where everything worked well) with a Brother 2070N laser printer. I am running OS 9.2 on a small networks of iMacs in my classroom. All print fine from the Administrator mode but none will print from Student mode in Multiple Users. I get a message that the "spooler file" cannot be found. All machines can see the printer via the chooser in both modes.
iMac Network   Mac OS 9.2.x   Brother 2070N printer

Check w/your printers (manufacturer) website to see if you need to update the drivers to be compatible w/your current OS system.
See KB article http://docs.info.apple.com/article2.html?artnum=24306 Desktop Printing Troubleshooting.
See (FAQ) Don Archibald: Printer Selected in Chooser OK, Can't Print
If you are using Suitcase in addition to ATM, there is a conflict between the two. This conflict usually results in an inability to use a selected printer - with a message to select a printer when trying to print. The fix for that is to rename the file Suitcase MenuFonts by placing a space between the "~" (tilde) and the "S" in front of its name. Then restart.

  • Printing with multiple user accounts

    I am on a mac mini running 10.4.6. I have 2 accounts on my mac, mine and my wife's, both are admin, I have an HP PSC 1200 connected USB, I can print and scan on my user account which was the primary account, but my wife's account simply cannot print, it does not got a the print queue it simply says it cannot communicate with the printer, I've Tried re-installing the printer from my wife's account but Printer Setup says it could not add the printer "Error 13" . Everything works fine, Help?

    Hi David,
    A quick search found this:
    error 13 sdmPRAMInitErr: Slot PRAM could not be initialized. or dsIrqErr: uninstalled interrupt error.
    Try resetting the PRAM and reinstalling the printer.

  • Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.

    Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to. 
    I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
    The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
    You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
    application and the selection is stored in a config file in 
    C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.  
    In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
    users.
    Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
    services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
    So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
    in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A. 
    SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
    physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
    SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
    C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    they actually get 
    C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    and user "B" gets
    C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?

    I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
    I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
    printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
    Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
    (a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
    After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
    This was clarified by the following series of comments:
    I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
    and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
    USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 –  James

    @JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. –  Nathan
    C Mar
    17 at 16:28
    You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... –  James

    @JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. –  Nathan

    Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… –  James

  • Can't print on USB port in Multiple Users mode

    I'm running OS 9.2.2, and recently added a USB card along with a powered USB hub and a Brother MFC420CN Print/Fax/Scan.
    All works great for me, but when my kids log in under their multiple users names, they cannot print on the USB printer. They still can on the Apple printer on the serial port.
    I've given them everything I can think of access wise to allow them to use the USB printer.
    Any ideas?

    You either need to give them access to the Chooser, or allow that printer to be a "System" printer, with a desktop printer Icon. If it does not have a desktop printer icon, your only choice is to allow them access to the Chooser.
    You also may have to copy that printer's preference files from System Access to each individual user's preferences.
    Some printers are simply too badly behaved to be used under Multiple Users, especially with Macintosh Manager, where the user preferences are stored on the server.

  • Enforce Default Printer Presets Across Multiple Users

    Hi
    Please could anyone tell me if there is a way to enforce the default printer preset across multiple users on the same computer for a network attached printer?
    I want to make sure that all of my family who each have separate accounts all print using greyscale by default.
    I would like to do this without copying plists about. I was hoping that there is some global way to do it as an administrator.
    TIA

    Hello Ian,
    I did a couple of simple tests on this topic and from what I can see there is no easy way for this to be done. The preferences (plists) are being saved in each users preference, and depending on which printer you are using the located and format for this preference is not easily copied.
    Unless there is a third party app (or something I missed) then I don't see a simple solution to this.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Multiple users on computer

    This question is somewhat answered on other forum posts, but it begs to be asked again. If enough people ask, maybe the bean counters will start to understand how regular customers buy and use books. Then those same features will be available on eBooks.
    Just installed ADE on one computer, under one user account. (System: Windows XP PRO sp3). Did this as both my wife and myself are getting eBook readers for Christmas. (Augen "TheBook" units)
    First issue / question why not have multiple user ID's supported on single device through the ADE interface directly?
    Can I actually have multiple activated ID's on XP via separate user log-ins? (Again, ADE should be one program instance with multi-users IDs to the one instance, not separate Windows accounts. It should also have a share/loan function and frankly an ownership transfer function.)
    The eReader device itself does not appear to support multiple user logins. So, I guess that means the reader is lock to a single Adobe ID?
    When will the above changes occur if ever?
    (I am also posing this question to Augen's tech support.)
    My soapbox comments to feed up to the publishing world's bean counters that are forcing DRM and fixing prices.
    Real world buying habits. Single book bought by myself or wife may be read by both of us. (Gee! Isn't that a surprise! We don't buy 2 copies.) And maybe occasionally loaned to a friend, passed on to a friend, donated to charity or sold at a garage sale. More likely sitting on a shelf after one or 2 reads.
    Real world current MSRP/list price on a new eBook: As much as or maybe slightly less than the same printed Hardbound book. More than same printed paperback book.(Viewed recent Mary Higgins Clark book as example: 75% of Amazon hardcover price and 163% of not yet released paperback price.)
    Real world cost of delivering eBook vs printed book: About one-tenth the cost of a printed book. And that is with all the extra manpower wasted on DRM programing and servers.It would be a twentieth without the DRM costs.
    Printing, warehousing and transporting books is not cheap. I am in the printing business. I know this.
    An eBook cuts out all the labor and material of printing, all the costs of physical warehouse and transport, and wasted un-sold product or remaindered product. Unsold returns from retailer back to distributor or manufacturer very by catagory and title. But range from 10-50%. That all is gone with an eBook.
    So, every level from publishing to retail is more profitable with the ebook model.
    Real world use of an Ebook with DRM ePub. Restricted to single user on apparently 6 computers and 6 portable devices. Effect is that at best I can buy a book and others in my household may read it on one of the registered devices as well. I have paid as much or more than a trade paperback. Publisher has received a higher profit by far and so has seller. Author has not received a higher percentage or royalty most likely.
    I can not sell it as used, I can not donate it to charity or library. This, even though I have paid full retail and that is effectively ten plus times as much over traditional printed book production and distribution costs. Distributor actually may have higher costs as they must maintain records access for an extended time, which with court cases will in the future probably mean 20 plus years. But, that cost should be well offset by no warehousing or brick & mortar store costs.
    Of coarse I can still read the full printed library of Mark Twain books that my grandmother purchased for my father and uncle in the 1920's today. And those books will last another 100 years with moderate care. So I am paying ten times more than cost, and book may last 20 years (with luck and no business failure)  INSTEAD OF 200.
    Long story short, I am willing to purchase an ePub even with reasonable DRM protections and at a price at or lower than trade paperback, even at 75% of hard bound one new releases on occasion. But, at the much higher profit potential of a single purchased book to publisher and retailer, one should be able to use and share it the same as a printed book.
    As it is, I can not even directly buy an eBook on most sites as a gift. Don't publishers know that books a often bought as gifts?
    Publishers: If your eBook sales are not at the level you would expect, maybe, just maybe the points above may have something to do with why consumers are not buying into eBooks as you would hope.
    I guess that ends my rant for now.

    This might not be the right way but since I was having similar issues today, this something that worked.
    I placed the domain.site file on my time capsule and the Imac which I created the pages with remembered the site.
    On my mac mini I can access the site it if I open the domain.site file directly using the finder and it will then open iweb on my mac mini. If I open iweb directly, it seems to remember previous iweb sites that I created but not the current one.
    Hope this helps.
    If anyone else has another way please let us know.

  • How can I Manage Multiple Users?

    My wife and I both want to organize and edit our digital photos with PSE10.  Up until now, I have managed all of our photos by myself, and I have synchronized all data on both of our computers (and backed up all of our data to an external harddrive).  Now that my wife also wants to organize and edit our photos on her computer, I am finding it difficult to synchronize the PSE Catalogs and photos on our two computers.  So, I am looking for a better procedure. 
    Should I (and can I) keep my PSE Catalog & Photos on: 
    (1) an External Harddrive (which would be connected to only one computer at a time, while that computer user is organizing and editing photos), or 
    (2) on a Home Network location where both users could access the photos for organizing and editing (with a "lockout" for photos which are being edited by the other computer user)? 
    Are there other good or better procedures for managing multiple users of PSE? 
    My computer is running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit. 
    My wife's computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    Thank all of you for your replies. 
    Re SOFTWARE CHOICES:
    I decided that my wife and I will each use different software on our different computers.
    I decided NOT to upgrade my wife's software from "Windows Live Photo Gallery" (WLPG) to "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10" (PSE).  After a detailed discussion of my wife's wishes, I discovered that she only wants to (1) move our pictures into folders, (2) cull the pix, and (3) create "Album" folders (with only our most memorable pix) to be printed as 8.5" x 11" pages for the Albums.  She wants me to crop, edit, add captions, and print the Album pages.  See the image at the bottom for our current Photo Mgmt Plan.
    I will continue to use "Lightroom" (Lr).
    Re SYCHRONIZATION: 
    I decided that we both can use the same picture files.  I use "GoodSync" to sychronize files between my computer and my wife's computer (and between my computer and my backup HDD). 
    My wife's "WLPG" does NOT appear to use a database.  My changes (including "Keyword" edits or adds) show up in her "WLPG" program, when picture files have been changed by myself in "Lr" and sychronized with her computer.
    After my wife adds folders and/or changes the folder contents, I sync her computer with mine.  I open her folders (which are now also on my computer) in "Lr", and "Import" any of her new and duplicate pictures into "Lr".  Surpisingly and thankfully, the pictures that have been moved to a new folder by my wife do NOT show up in "Lr" in the previous folder (i.e. I do NOT have to find and delete any "Missing" images which were in the previous folder location).
    Re MULTIPLE USERS OF A DATABASE:
    I do not need to use this now, but I read that "Lr" is designed to work with the "Lr" database (and pictures) on an external HDD.
    Thank all of you again for your very helpful replies.

  • Add multiple users to a certain database in the SQL server in one go

  • Multiple user license

    Hi - does anyone know if you can purchase multiple user licenses for FC Studio? I'm starting a new business and would like to have more than one machine with the studio software but can't afford 2 entire packages.
    If so - how much does it cost?
    -Thanks
    Powerbook G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Probably not what you're thinking of, but the volume license discount is for 5 or more seats.
    If you're thinking that you should be able to get some discount because, say, you're not buying another 'box' (and all the associated discs and printed matter), I'm not aware of any such option.
    But I suppose it couldn't hurt to call Apple and ask though.

  • Report email multiple users or distribution list

    I have created an output device for PDF format for report painter output.  When I print, there is space for a single mail address.  I have created distribution lists in the workplace, tcode SBWP.  I need to know how to send the pdf of the report painter output to the distribution list or multiple users.

    this sounds to me like the client is not handling errors properly
    and instead of resubmitting to only those that failed, it is resubmitting all
    I would say to look at the mail.log_current. make sure logging is on the defaults channel
    set LOG_CONNECTION=3
    and LOG_MESSAGE_ID=1
    in option.dat
    recompile configuration
    imsimta cnbuild
    reload configuration
    imsimta reload
    The original problem was when a temporary error occurred in sending one of the addresses, and we didn't handle that properly. Happened sometimes when Brightmail was involved.
    Since these are not Messaging lists, but Outlook lists, it's entirely possible that it's Outlook that's not handling the errors correctly.

    I have a PO(which is sap script) and right now its sending to one vendor when it is released.
    Now I want to send to multiple users ( to sender and multiple vendors ) if available...
    I know we can do by creating the distribution list but this wont help me as per req.
    Any suggestions of how and where to add a custom code to enable so that I can send to muliple users by emails.
    any suggestion would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    1. set the medium to print(always, in the condition records),
    2. in the driver program before calling open-form FM pass the parameter get_otf= X in the options parameter of this FM
    3. then go for write form,
    4. then close form--> here you get back the OTF table
    once you have the otf table, run Convert_otf to get the PDF data.
    then you can mail it to whom so ever you want... as many times you want
    for step 1 to 4 follow the below link

  • How can multiple users use the same Creative Cloud Individual on one single-machine?

    We have one shared graphics workstation, which is infrequently in use by different people - therefore we bought a single-workstation license (which we were referred to "Creative Cloud Individual"). In the FAQs it says it installs locally, but whenever a user different from the installing adminstrator logs in, he is forced to use the trial.
    Is there a way to make the local installation usable on that single machine for multiple users?
    Thanks in advance for your reply

    Serenatasystems do the other users not have administrator access?  What happens if they sign in using the Adobe ID tied to your Creative Cloud subscription?  Do your Adobe Creative applications then exit trial mode?

  • Multiple users in household, how do I simply sign out of an account and not delete the account?

    I just got an iPad and am still figuring out its quirks. One thing that is completely frustrating me is that I am being told that I have to delete accounts instead of simply being able to sign out? I don't get it? For instance the Gmail app lets you switch between accounts but both are always signed in. Same with iCloud and Appleid's. I don't get it? I have multiple users at my house that use the same apps but we can't sign in and out as our respective selves? Is this an Apple thing? I haven't used Apple products since the mid 90's so I could just be out of the loop? Not being able to Sign in and out doesn't seem very logical to me so it makes me think that I must be missing a step because why on Earth would you not have that function? Help me understand. Please and thank you.

    You are not going to like the answer, but no you cannot sign out of email accounts on the iPad. The iPad was originally designed to be a single user device that was to be used in conjunction with one's own iTunes library. That was back in 2010 when the first iPad was released. many things about the way you can use an iPad have changed, but it still designed to be a single user device.
    Anybody can check email in a web browser on the iPad, just like one can check ther email on any computer by signing into their account, but the built in Mail app does not have separate user accounts. You can sign into and out of Apple ID's on the iPad but that is where Family Sharing comes into play.

  • How to use Keychain for multiple users on one computer?

    I have a new Macbook Pro with Yosemite.  I just moved over from PC for my work computer and the Keychain thing is killing me!  I am a social media consultant so I manage multiple accounts for multiple clients.  I need a way to log in and out as them on many different platforms.  The reality is that I am the only user but I log in and out of different things as if this was a public computer with multiple users. 
    PC allowed me a drop-down option with each login.  For example the email box could be clicked and then I could select the client email that I needed to fill in.  The password would then auto-populate.  Is there any setting I can change to make this happen on a Macbook? I have been logging in, deleting the info in Keychain, then logging in for the next client, delete...etc.
    Most password managers don't work because of this same problem.  Please don't recommend a password manager app unless it can handle logging in and out of (for example)10 different LinkedIn profiles.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • Sharing an iTunes Library across multiple user account and a network.

    Sharing an iTunes Music Library across multiple user accounts.
    Hello Everybody!
    Firstly, this was designed to be run in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It will not work with earlier versions of Mac OS X! Sorry.
    Here's a handy tip for keeping your hard drive neat and tidy, it also saves space, what in effect will be done is an iTunes music library will be shared amongst multiple users on the same machine. There are advantages and disadvantages to using this method.
    • Firstly I think it might be worthwhile to state the advantages and disadvantages to using this approach.
    The advantages include:
    - Space will be saved, as no duplicate files will occur.
    - The administrator will be able to have complete control over the content of the iTunes library, this may be useful for restricting the content of the Library; particularly for example if computer is being used at and education institution, business or any other sort of institution where things such as explicit content would be less favorable.
    - The machine will not be slowed by the fact that every user has lots of files.
    The disadvantages to this system include.
    - The fact that the account storing the music will have to be logged in, and iTunes will have to be active in that account.
    - If the account housing the music is not active then nobody can use the iTunes library.
    - There is a certain degree of risk present when an administrator account must be continually active.
    - Fast User Switching must be enabled.
    Overview:
    A central account controls all music on the machine/network, this is achieved by storing iTunes files in a public location as opposed to in the user's directory. In effect the system will give all users across the machine/network access to the same music/files without the possibility of files 'doubling up' because two different users like the same types of music. This approach saves valuable disk space in this regard and may therefore prove to be useful in some situations.
    This is a hearty process to undertake, so only follow this tutorial if you're willing to go all the way to the end of it.
    Process:
    Step 1:
    Firstly, we need to organize the host library, I tidied mine up, removing excess playlists, random files, things like that. this will make thing a bit easier in the later stages of this process.
    Once the library is tidied up, move the entire "iTunes" folder from your Home directory to the "//localhost" directory (The Macintosh HD) and ensure that files are on the same level as the "Applications", "Users", "Library" and "System" directories; this will ensure that the files in the library are available to all users on the machine (this also works for networks)
    Optionally you can set the ownership of the folder to the 'administrator' account (the user who will be hosting the library.), you may also like to set the permissions of 'you can' to "Read & Write" (assuming that you are doing this through the user who will host the library); secondly you should set the "Owner" to the administrator who will be hosting the library and set their "access" to "Read & Write" (this will ensure that the administrator has full access to the folder). The final part of this step involves setting access for the "Others" tab to "Read Only" this will ensure that the other users can view but not modify the contents on the folder.
    Overview:
    So far we have done the following steps:
    1. Organized the host library.
    2. Placed the iTunes directory into a 'public' directory so that other users may use it. (this step is essential if you plan on sharing the library across multiple accounts on the same machine. NOTE: this step is only necessary if you are wanting to share you library across multiple accounts on the same machine, if you simply want to share the music across a network, use the iTunes sharing facility.
    3. set ownership and permissions for the iTunes music folder.
    Step 2:
    Currently the administrator is the only user who can use this library, however we will address this soon. In this step we will enable iTunes music sharing in the administrator's account, this will enable other users to access the files in the library.
    If you are not logged in as the administrator, do so; secondly, open iTunes and select "Preferences" from the "iTunes" menu, now click the "Sharing" tab, if "share my library on my local network" is not checked, the radio buttons below this will now become active, you may choose to share the entire libraries contents, or share only selected content.
    Sharing only selected content may be useful if their is explicit content in the library and minors use the network or machine that the library is connected to.
    If you have selected "share entire library" go to Step 3, if you have selected share "share selected playlists" read on.
    After clicking "share selected playlists" you must then select the playlists that you intend to share across your accounts and network. Once you have finished selecting the playlists, click "OK" to save the settings.
    Overview:
    In this step we:
    1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the administrator's account, now, users on the local network may access the iTunes library, however, users on the same machine may not.
    Step 3:
    Now we will enable users on the same machine to access the library on the machine. This is achieved by logging in as each user, opening iTunes, opening iTunes preferences, and clicking "look for shared music". now all users on the machine may also access the library that the administrator controls.
    This in effect will mean that the user will not need to use their user library, it will be provided to them via a pseudo network connection.
    As a secondary measure, I have chosen to write a generic login script that will move any content from the user's "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" directory to the trash and then empties the user's trash.
    This is done through the use of an Automator Application: this application does the following actions.
    1. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Specified Finder Items"
    1a. The user's "~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" folder
    2. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Folder Contents"
    3. Uses the "Finder" action "Move to Trash"
    4. Uses the "Automator" action "Run AppleScript"
    4a. with the following:
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
    empty trash
    end tell
    return input
    end run
    IMPORTANT: Once the script is adapted to the user account it must be set as a login item. in order to keep the script out of the way i have placed it in the user's "Library" directory, in "Application Support" under "iTunes".
    Overview:
    Here we:
    1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the user accounts on the host machine, in effect allowing all users of the machine to view a single iTunes library.
    2. (Optional) I have created a login application that will remove any content that has been added to user iTunes libraries, this in effect stops other users of the machine from adding music and files to iTunes.
    Step 4:
    If it is not already enabled, open system preferences and enable Fast User Switching in Accounts Options.
    Summary:
    We have shared a single iTunes library across multiple user account, while still allowing for network sharing. This method is designed to save space on machines, particularly those with smaller hard drives.
    I hope that this hint proves to be helpful and I hope everybody will give me feedback on my process.

    Pete.
