Printing problems on Windows server 2003

Hi All,
I was printing perfectly on my shared printer (HP Laserjet 1000) on my Windows server 2003 with a domain.
Since this week I can't print anymore. I keeps failing with failed authentification. Nothing changed on my server or iMac except the latest security patches on the iMac.
The event log shows up user _lp that is trying to access the printer... not the user that I'm using...
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer on the iMac without success.
Anyone has an idea how to fix this ?
Thanks,
Pascal

I'm having the same problem now with printers on Windows 2000 systems. The print queue (which worked forever on 10.4 and initially on 10.5) now gets access denied from the SMB server. The "add authentication" thread doesn't fix it as the latest update seems to send user ID "_lp" to the SMB server rather than the user credentials set up in CUPS.
I tried "smb://user:password@server/printer" and it still doesn't work.
Again, it's worked for a long while and just recently broke due to Leopard or an update.

HP Cloud Print Driver for Windows Server 2003?

Hello,
I have a unique (complicated) situation that I am trying to find a solution for.
Here is the deal,
My company is trying to set up a temporary remote branch location inside a building where we are unable to wire a network. Our solution is to use a wireless hotspot. Connected to this hotspot, we will have an iPad and an HP Laserjet M525.
The iPad will be connecting to our Citrix environment over VPN through Citrix Receiver to deliver a desktop interface to the iPad. This is needed to access a few applications that are used at the branch.
The problem now is printing, AirPrint wont work because the iPad is on VPN (and its at a windows interface, not the iPad's).
I had the idea of using the HP printers built in ePrint function to print, so I set that up. So now sending at email to [email protected] prints to the HP printer attached to the wireless hotspot.
Emaling to print works, but ideally, I would like this printer to show up in the Windows Devices and Printers, so that the user can just click print, choose the HP printer, and it will print, (with a delay obviously as its sending an email).
So I downloaded the HP ePrint Windows Driver, which has to be installed on the main Citrix servers so that the users session can grab the printer and use it, turns out the driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003.
My first attempt at a workaround was Google Cloud Print, which was fairly simple to connect to HP ePrint, but apparently the Google Cloud Print Driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003 either.
Is there a version of the HP ePrint Driver out there that works on Windows Server 2003?
tldr:
I would like to print to a remote HP printer that is connected to a wifi hotspot from our internal network. I need whatever software I download to be compatible with Server 2003.
I understand this is over complicated but thanks for any input.

I believe I understand your issue. You would like to use a print driver to print to your HP ePrint enabled printer from your apps that are hosted by Citrix server. While I believe this makes perfect sense, HP does not have a print driver that officially supports MS TS or Citrix that also supports the ePrint Cloud path. The reason for this is the ePrint windows driver is a "dynamic" print driver (similar to HP UPD dynamic mode) that handles multiple print paths (tcp/ip, wireless direct, cloud, etc) in a single driver instance by dynamically changing the port the print queue is bound to so the port is specific to the delivery path. For example, if printing to a network printer it will use a MS Standard tcp/ip port. If printing to the ePrint cloud a custom port is used, etc. Well, if you have lots of Citrix users trying to print to a single print queue, but to different destinations, the users would be colliding with each other when they print by having the driver trying to change the print queue to different print ports at the same time.
What you could do is install an ePrint print queue on the citrix server if you can control the access to that queue to just your local branch users. Also, if you only have on ePrint enabled printer the situation is even better as only one port will be needed by that queue. You can find the ePrint software at www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware You might want to download the version of the driver that supports XP as Windows 2003 is very similar print system.
NOTE: this is not a supported environment for this driver. You would be using it without warrenty or support and no promises are being made here.
Good luck if you choose this path and please post back the results. Thanks!

Windows 7 x64 can't read/install any printer drivers from Windows Server 2003 x64 (AMD64 folder and HP Deskjet 855c)

I read the thread Widows 7 printer
HP deskjet 855c driver about possible installation of HP855c drivers onto Windows 7 x64 from "Windows Server 2003 x64" CD but I didn't have enough luck to succeed with doing it on my laptop. That thread appears to be dead now
as it is marked "Answered", so I'm asking for help here. I have Toshiba Satellite P500 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (http://i55.tinypic.com/2zgth6v.jpg).
Let me tell you first that I don't have access to Windows Server 2003 x64 or XP Pro 64 CD's. However I did some research online, which eventually forced me to learn about the "file sharing". After extensive search I was able to get the copies
of AMD64 folders from Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 with SP2 and
XP Pro 64. The reason that I went also after XP Pro was because I thought that the extra wording "R2 Standard x64 with SP2" in description of "Windows Server 2003" did not reflect the exact name provided by poster
Alan. I couldn't find just "Windows Server 2003 x64" (does it matter?).
Anyway, I followed first the drill with running "printui /s /t2" and disabling UAC, and then in both cases I was able to locate the
NTPRINT.INF file (http://oi51.tinypic.com/9qwvt2.jpg - this image is from XP Pro AMD64 folder) but each time when I
attempted to install the driver, I got the same message stating:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software drive for your device. If the folder contains the driver, make sure it's designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." (http://oi53.tinypic.com/27yveiw.jpg)
Why aren't there x64 drivers?
During several installation attempts I had the printer connected to or disconnected from my laptop. It didn't make any difference. I must add that for this purpose I had to use different cable than the original one designated only for the
Parallel port in my old desktop with Windows XP. My new laptop with Windows 7 x64 came only with 3 USB ports (plus 1 HDMI and 1 Serial). Because of that situation I bought in advance a new printer cable called “USB to 36-pin Parallel Port Adapter
Cable” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A8I75E). I'm not sure, if it will work until I can install the printer.
Besides, nobody talked about this issue yet. I was also playing with the port choices in "Add printer" step; changing from default LPT1 to USB001 with the same negative results.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was very hopeful after reading positive "case closed" notes there.
Can anyone help me here, maybe by making the necessary files available for download? I'm willing to pay for such assistance or make a donation, if necessary. Seriously. Judging by the large number of views of the original
thread, one could assume that there is a potential demand for such service. It would be more human to pay few bucks for a few driver files than $900 for the whole Windows Server 2003 x64 CD, no? Can Microsoft accomodate me/us, please? :)
Andrew*
P.S. I was advised to come for help here from
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-x64-cant-readinstall-any-printer-drivers/4e7d06e1-33a5-4597-be70-4fdc087a63a7?msgId=9a045994-0d31-4d40-b17d-dba372393ee4

I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.
I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder.
I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
driver' when installing the HP 855c.
I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility
message (probably the same one mentioned above).

Add-on installation problem in Windows Server 2003

Hi guys,
I have a problem when i want to install my add-on in the Windows Server 2003. The server gives me error :
Unable to load AddOnInstallAPI.dll
and when i try install using the same installer at the client station, everything is ok.
Does anybody have suggestion about that problem? I suspect the problem is the Windows' security that did not allowed me to load the .dll. Does anybody know how to set the security?
Thanks you,
Harianto Ng

I've found an answer on the similar question here, on the forum, saying that Windows 2003 is not a supported SAPBO Client OS.
In my experience I could not even set a reference to SAPbouicom.exe with a message "cannot load DLL"...

if any one installed hyperion EPMS on windows server 2003 64 bit please i need your help
thanks in advanced
Edited by: eng3m on Nov 21, 2010 3:32 PM

Hi,
EDGE/Crystal Reports Server and Enterprise are no native 64bit applications. That does mean that they only run in 32bit mode. But you can install it on a 64bit hardware with a 64bit OS.

OEM_Agent DST problem with window server 2003

Hi,
I didn't apply the dst patch to my OEM and Agent, system administrator said he applied the OS patch. so as expected, after the reboot of server, the oem_agent won't start any more.
the error message:
'Mon Mar 19 12:40:14 2007::The agentTZRegion value in E:\OEM_agent10g\agent10g/sysman/config/emd.properties is not in agreement with what agent thinks it should be.Please verify your environment to make sure that TZ setting has not changed since the last start of the agent.
If you modified the timezone setting in the environment, please stop the agent and exectute 'emctl resetTZ agent' and also execute the script mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn(<agent_name>, <new_tz_rgn>) to get the value propagated to repository -----
I am on eastern timezone.
Following the Metlink note 401834.1"Workaround to EM Agent Restart Problem Due to a Daylight Savings Change".
I did ' emctl resetTZ agent on my target machine.
then, I run ' exec mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn('server123:3872','Etc/GMT+4');
It's not helping.
On window, the time is right, but the timezone is still set as 'GMT-5'.
A querry shows:
select timezone_region from mgmt_targets where target_name='server_name':
TIMEZONE_REGION
America/New_York
If I do exec mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn('server123:3872','Etc/GMT+5' , it's still not working....
Any one has any suggestion? I thought window should have different timezone after apllying the DST patch?
Thanks in advance

Windows Server 2003 R2 Backup with Hyper-V in DPM

Hello,
I am trying to backup multiple Windows Server 2003 R2 VMs on Hyper-V (Windows Server 2012 R2) with DPM.
When I try to this I get the following errors:
On the Hyper-V Host:
Source: VSS ID:8229
A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f4, The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried,

In the Windows Server 2003 R2 VM there are no errors in the eventlog.
Only the information, that VSS is started and stopped after a while.
When I do a Backup with ntbackup of in the VM everything runs fine.
When I create a checkpoint with Hyper-V everything runs fine, too.
The integration services are up to date and get-vmintegrationservice -vmname VMName shows everything is enabled and OK.
On the Hyper-V host there are 13 VMs. 3 of them are running Windows Server 2003 R2 and 2 of them are showing this error. It seems to be no general problem with Windows Server 2003 R2 then.
I tried the backup on a different Hyper-V host with no success.
How can I narrow down the cause of this error?
Thanks.
greets,
torsten

Thank you to everyone in this thread!
After digging through VSS and Hyper-V dead-ends, the solution above worked for me in a W2012 R2 environment.
I only had this problem trying to back up W2012 R2 Hyper-V VMs stored on a CSV, hosted on a W2012 R2 Host Cluster, backing up from a Host node. I could back up from within the guests fine. Both Windows Server Backup and DPM 2012 R2
gave VSS errors on the cluster hosts.
In fact Windows Server Backup complains with 80780189 it won't back up an application with files on a CSV, which is a common cluster configuration. This is an example of another caveat in a minefield of MS caveats buried in fine print which often negates
configurations touted by MS Marketing, things which sound great on a sell sheet, but in practice are impractical or just not production-ready because of these restrictions.
Disabled Backup in Integration Services, performed an offline back up from DPM 2012 R2 (which did briefly affect serving the workloads on the VM), which succeeded, and then re-enabled Backup in Integration Services. DPM then continued to
sync successfully after that for a day. However, this problem returned after a period of heavy DPM backup activity. So I redistributed backups through various Protection Groups to spread the DPM load over a longer period and this seems to
have solved this problem.
In general I had lots of problems installing, configuring, and now operating DPM, so the experience has not been smooth, but most of the problems have now been solved. I find you have to "baby" this product and not push it too hard,
otherwise things start breaking.
Thanks again everyone!

Word Document generation using Perl programming on Windows Server 2003 R2

Hello,
Our application generates word document based on pre-defined template on Windows Server 2003 using Perl Scripting.
Configuration data is fetched from the database and document is populated based on the template. Sections in the document are identified using Bookmarks. We are facing a problem on Windows server 2003 R2. When I do a group update operation, i.e generation
of multiple word documents (using Word 2010) in a loop, one of the section of the word document shifts up and data gets overlapped.
When I use the same piece of code in windows 7 machine, the issue doesn't replicate.
Can anyone provide some pointers to look into this issue ?

Windows server 2003 not working after computer hard restart

Hello, the following problem did occure. I was logged to windows server 2003, working on it, when my pc suddenly frozen, so i had no other option, than to make a hard restart of my pc. From that time, when a log into the windows server, i can see the server
desktop, but i cannot click on anything. I am hearing just the clicking sound. When i minimalize it a maximalize it back, all i can see is a black screen.
Can anyone help me, how to solve this problem ?
Thank you for your answers

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that Windows Server 2003 unable to start correctly.
You may try to restart the computer, when you see the message Please select the operating system to start, press the F8 . select the
Last Known Good Configuration, in order to start the computer by using the most recent settings that worked.
Or you may select Windows Advanced Option –> Safe Mode, check to see if this was caused by faulty drivers, programs, or services that start automatically.

SMB Extremely Slow over VPN With Windows Server 2003

Hello everyone,
I finally convinced another person at my law firm to switch to a MacBook Pro. In preparation, I am attempting to fix any compatibility problems that would put off this new user. Unfortunately, our IT guy recently switched us to a Sonicwall SSL-VPN 200. I can connect to our server through the VPN client with no problems and I can mount our internal file server, but the connection is incredibly slow. My initial reaction was that it must be a problem with Windows Server 2003 and SMB, but I was previously able to connect to and operate on our VPN through our old Fortinet (ipsec) device with no problems. Simply put, directory switching, file moving, etc. are all now incredibly slow over the VPN. Help!

Full support for SMB signing did not appear until Samba 3.0.2 released in 2004. Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) supports SMB signing. Previous versions require either disabling SMB signing server-side, using a third party SMB client, using the command-line smbclient program, or updating samba yourself.

Print pdf file directly from a folder, Adobe Reader X in Windows Server 2003

In previous versions of Adobe Reader we were able to print pdf files groupwise directly when selected in a folder.
Now I've installed Reader X on the Windows Server 2003 environment. Logged in as administrator I can still select <Print> by selecting the right mouse button in a folder. Logged in as a user, this is not available.
I checked user-rights and permissions and made sure they have full control.
Someone who can help us in this matter?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
The file menu doesn't show the print option either. We used to work this way, after installing the 9.0 and Reader X version, this option has disappeared from both the File menu and the right mouse button. For other filetypes, for example Excel the Print option is still available and works properly. Logged in as administrator on the serverconsole, there is no problem. So it seams to be something specific to pdf-formats in a server 2003 environment. The userrights are all set on full control (same as administrator).
Thanks again

Cannot print to PDF Printer in Windows server 2003 x64 (Adobe 9 STD)

Hi everyone,
I'm running into a very odd issue. We are using Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 in our environment. Recently, I install the x64 bit version of Citrix on top of Windows Server 2003 x64.
The problem that we are experience right now is that when user open a WORD or EXCEL document and try to print to PDF. The SAVE AS windows shows up to allow users to save, but nothing happens afterward. In another word, no PDF file is created.
However, if I ask the user to right click on the file (in windows explorer) and choose Convert to PDF, then the conversion go through.
Do you know a fix for this?

You might read the EULA and confirm the issue I have mentioned. I might not be correct in my estimate, but just gave a sounds like opinion. If it is a violation, then removing it is wise. Typically, Acrobat must be installed on each individual machine. There are multiple license options and server options, but you would need to contact Adobe for more information on those areas. Hope you can get them to talk to you in such a case.

Problems with the shared files of Windows Server 2003 and Mac

I have some Mac computers in the domain of my LAN Network, and when I share a folder in Windows Server 2003 sometimes the Mac can not see and sometimes yes, but lasts a long time so that they can view folders. I have installed the protocol Apple Talk on the server and File Server and in the Domain Server.
The folders when users have no security users or groups are immediately with a connection AFP, but if they have not already created security can be displayed with a connection AFP, but if you can visualize a connection with SMB, but I can not work with Quark 6.0 Pro files.
What can I do to solve this problem.

The newer printers:
canon irc3100
canon ir5020-i have working on osx side, not in classic
Older printers:
hp laserjet 5m-2 of these
hp 2200
hp laserjet 5si-2 of these
hp laserjet 4100
These are installed on windows 2003 with mac print services running. I need to know what option i should use in osx when installing these network printers on these macs. When i go to printers folder, i chose windows printing then it prompts for the ppd file. I found it for the ir5020 but not the ir3100. I really need to test the hp laserjets in osx too. Ill post up when i test those. But that one canon (ir3100) is bothering me. They are roughly the same age and the drivers on the site don't seem to work.

Windows Server 2003 Share Problems

Here's a doozy ...
Client boots their brand new HP laptop and logs in to their Windows Server 2003 domain. The laptop connects wirelessly to a WRT54GS v2, model WAP54G, Firmware v3.03.6. Normally, a logon script runs that runs a set of "net use" commands to set up the client's familiar network drives.
Only sometimes, for some reason, it doesn't work. He won't always be connected to those network drives. If he tries to reach them, he'll be told either he can't reach the network or they've already been assigned (??).
He works around this in a few ways, all of them sporadic. He can a) try to repair the wireless connection, "jiggling" the line so to speak. Sometimes he gets lucky and all is well. Or he can b) reboot the computer, either a warm or cold start. Again, after a few tries he hits the jackpot.
Meanwhile, his IP appears consistent and the lease is good for a week.
Perhaps there's some degree of pilot error here. Clues welcome!

Nice work, mate.
I think I know where the problem is.
According to the info you've provided;
"He sees two SSIDs, one called "company" (for the sake of argument), and the other called "linksys" - and he always connects to the one called linksys."
You actually have two wireless networks instead of one. That makes the 2 units independent of each other and connects/reconnects your laptop to your domain. They both see the laptop and send packets to it, thus also renewing some 'leases' between them.
According to the WAP54G manual you can read (ch5, page 10) that the SSID need to be the same on both units to work as 1 combined wireless network. (make sure they are spelled correctly. 'Linksys' and 'linksys' can sometimes be accepted as two different SSID's.)
Regarding the channels it's more of the 'noice in the air'-factor. If you live in an area where there are lots of wireless networks, channels can be overloaded with traffic. Changing into a more 'silent' channel (different freq) you all gain better connection rates.
So try changing the SSID so they both get the same SSID. That way you should only find 1 wireless network instead of the two.
Give a post if the disconnects stops and the network is running as planned.
