Problem printing with network accounts in Rosetta apps

This is a weird one that I've been trying to fix for weeks with no luck. Any thoughts would be helpful before I dump the AD Plugin and switch to ADmitMac...
Setup:
We have some (about 50) student iMacs, bound to our Active Directory domain.
On logging in, students are authenticated via an Active Directory server.
The students have Home Folders on another Windows 2003 server.
Force Local Home is off in the AD plugin, so when a student logs in, they get an ordinary account (non-admin) and see the Desktop, etc. that is held on the server, so if they log into any iMac they get the same Home Folder.
Problem:
The odd problem has just occurred with 4 new iMacs. These are the first Intel Macs on the network using AD logins and network Home Folders. Old PowerPC iMacs work just fine. However, the Intels exhibit this strange behaviour:
If a student prints from any Rosetta application (e.g. Word or Photoshop) the print goes ahead and prints, but the application immediately crashes (quits unexpectedly). Intel Apps (e.g. Preview) however, print fine.
I've just done a print from Word with one of my students' accounts (username bbjarhsy, Home Folder on a server called d4, as you'll see at the end). The crash log for Word tells me:

This seems to indicate some sort of problem with addressing Virtual Memory after/during sending the print job. (??)
I should mention that the prints are going to a (Windows) print server which does its stuff properly - queues and prints the job and deducts pages properly from the quotas set up.
I've tried making a test account an Admin account but these crash too, so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the local permissions.
Any idea where I can go with this? Anyone doing the same thing with no problem? It definitely seems to be a bug with the Intel version of Tiger as the G5s have exactly the same set up with no such problems.
Thanks for anything anyone can offer!!

I can't print to a kyocera c3232E with network accounting

I'm working with a Krocera KM-C3232E printer with network accounting. I added the printer using it's IP addr. It indicated the correct driver name, a valid unit and IP. After continuing an problem is indicated and asks if I still want to create a que. I check OK and the printer is added. When the print dialgue box comes up there is no place to input an acct ID, in fact there are nearly no choices at all. The job goes to que but never connects to the printer. Help.

assuming all the connections are good (wires or wifi), make sure that you have updated the printer software to include the printer model
Then install, ensure that the printer is in the list of printers in System Preferences.
Good luck!

Automatic service setup with network accounts

Hi all,
I'm having terrible trouble getting automatic service (e.g. iCal, iChat, etc.) setup to work with network accounts, either with network home directories or local home directories, and I can't work out what I'm doing wrong.
When I log in as a local user and join the Network Account Server, all services get set up as expected, without problems. When I log in with a network account however, whether the account has a server-hosted home directory or a local home directory, services aren't automatically set up, I don't get the auto configuration wizard/dialogue, and attempting to join the network account server again fails. Surely there's a way for network accounts to have services automatically set up on initial login? Any ideas?

Hello @arcticbear38,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving a small portion on the left hand side of a document missing on both printers. I will do my best to assist you! Does this happen when you print from one program or many program(s)?
Both of these printers are not indicating low on ink? I would recommend resetting the printing system on your computer by following this Apple document here. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

I have problems printing with a HP Officejet 6500 printer directly from my iMac. The printer itself does function well, as I can print from another PC without any problems. Does anyone have a clue?

Hello:
I must apologize . I should have checked here first:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
According to the list, there is no driver for your printer included in OS X 10.7.
There are a couple of options:
1. Contact HP to see if they have a workaround.
2. If the model of printer is not listed but your printer is a PostScript printer or PCL Laser printer, try the "Generic PostScript" or "PCL Laser printer" drivers. Generic printer drivers may not let you access all the features of your printer.
I have not tried #2, but some people have had success.

Problem printing thru network with new 8500A all-in-one

I installed a new Officejet pro 8500a plus on my network. I have 3 computers on the network set up this way: DSL modum connected to Linksys router, all 3 computers connected to the router, PRINTER is connected to main COMPUTER and other 2 computers print through the main computer.
I installed the printer sucessfully and ran the HP network wizard following the dialogs for connecting through another computer. I can print, and fax fine from the main computer but not from the other computers. I configured the printer as "shared" on the main computer and the other computers recognize the printer and set it as the default printer. But when I try to print form the other computers nothing happens. When I go into control panel - printers - properties - ports on the main computer, the printer is listed as USB002 but when I click on "configure" I get "An error occured during port configuration. This opperation is not supported".
Main computer is running Windows Vista with current updates
Other computers are running Windows XP SP2 with current updates.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Jim
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Why are you using Windows print sharing with your nice network printer? This mode only supports printing, not scannning or faxing. The better way to do this is to attach the printer to your router with Ethernet or wirelessly so that all PCs (regardless of how they connect) can use all of it's features. Disconnect the USB cable and run the Wireless Setup Wizard (if you want to connect it wirelessly, otherwise, plug the Ethernet cable in to the printer and router) from the front of the printer (Setup >Network menu), then run the HP software to "Add a Device" on each PC.

Can't Login With Network Account After Upgrade To Yosemite Server 4

I've been putting off this troubleshooting for a while now, and after trying everything I could find, decided to post.
- After upgrading my server to Yosemite with Server 4, and my MacBook to Yosemite, I can no longer login with any network accounts.
- I was on clean installs of Mavericks before the upgrade.
- I'm using SSL for the OD, with a GoDaddy cert, the same one that was working on Mavericks.
- I've tried removing the laptop's binding using the Users and Groups preferences dialog, which does not remove the laptop's entry from Open Directory, so I manually deleted the record on the server.
- I then choose to Join again, and it looks as though everything goes through, but I still cannot login with a network account. Also, when rejoining, it does not create a binding on the server.
- If I use the Directory Utility->Services->LDAPv3, and add it that way, entering the FQDN and checking Encrypt..., Use for auth and Use for contacts, it asks me for the directory admin username and password, and does in fact create the binding on the server, but I still cannot login. What's strange about that method, is that it forces the use of the IP address of the server, rather than the FQDN, like I entered it, which would of course have problems, because the certificate's common name is the server's FQDN. It does not allow me to change from using the IP address, graying out that field.
- I've also tried destroying the OD and restoring from archive to no avail.
It looks like many users have hit dead ends with this, with some having success by completely formatting and setting up a new iteration of the server, but I will not be doing that. However, I'll be happy to try any other suggestions.
Thanks for your time,
   -- Mike

     Okay, I've finally resolved the issue, thanks to the Apple Enterprise tech support team. I'm thinking they wouldn't mind if I share this information, but I can't guarantee that this will work on your system or, worse yet, degrade your system further. However, that's fairly unlikely, just make sure you have plenty of backups before you begin any troubleshooting session.
     So I was told to perform the following instructions, which I did, line for line. The part about closing Server.app seems a given, but I'm not sure why they want you to open Server.app at the the end (maybe taken out of context from some other instructions?). I did it anyway, but you should be able to begin testing, on a client workstation, right after rekerberizing is complete. I did, however, need to reboot my client, login as local admin, and then binding would proceed, and network users are able to login again. The engineer also let me know to expect an error, something like the following: "2015-03-11 21:58:38 +0000 Error synchronizing removal of attribute draft-krbPrincipalACL from record 72519e4c-7ac7-15e4-bd42-10adb1944cbc: 77013 result: 16 No such attribute" - this is apparently normal, and did in fact happen in my experience.
So here's the fix:
- Quit Server.app (don’t just close the window)
- On the Open Directory Server, execute these Terminal commands:
- sudo mkdir /var/db/openldap/migration/
- sudo touch /var/db/openldap/migration/.rekerberize
- sudo slapconfig -firstboot
- Open Server.app
And that's it. I did nothing else on my OD server, just logged out. Immediately tried binding on my MacBook client, it failed, I rebooted, tried again, it worked quickly, and I'm able to login with network user accounts again.

HT2506 Is there anyone else who is having problems printing with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X?

Since upgrading to Lion OS X, I have not been able to print any of my documents that were created in Adobe PDF. All calls to customer support have been a bust.
When I try to print anything it comes out looking like this:
Apple PREVIEW team!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi Linc...

Re: Anyone having problems with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X? When using a pdf form that allows multiline text, I am finding that the printing is completely illegible. The lines are stacking on top of each other.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, selectHelp from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mar 11, 2012 4:13 PM (in response to Linc Davis)
Did all of that yesterday, with the Apple Representative on the phone, and nope, still a problem...it was kind of exciting, really, they kept going up and up the tiers of support until I got disconnected...Fortunately I had the email address of the gentleman who was helping me so that I could email him back and let him know that we got disconnected...as you might imagine, he still has not emailed me back. They were able to receive a copy of the form that I use for charting and try it in their facility on their computers, so we know:
1- it is not just my computer.
2- it occurred only after installing Lion OS X, not sure if they have tried it on Snow Leopard, but that's what I would have done if I was them...assuming that somewhere in Apple someone has not upgraded to Lion.
3- it is not just my software.
I think the problem is with the newer iteration of Preview not communicating well with the Adobe .pdf. probably some line of coding that needs to be written and insertedinto their program for multiline text.
:-) Thank you for your help!

Problem printing to networked printer

I have a strange printing problem:
13" unibody MacBook running OS X 10.6.3
Dell dimension desktop PC running Win XP Home Edition (SP3)
Wireless LAN connecting the two computers above via Time Capsule wireless base station.
Canon Pixma MP540 printer connected to PC via USB.
Printer set up on PC as shared and visible to MacBook over wireless LAN.
Printing from PC to printer OK.
Printing from MacBook to printer places job in print queue on PC but status never changes from 'spooling' and print job never completes.
If I connect the printer directly to the MacBook via USB it prints with no problems. I can also then see the printer as a network printer from the PC and successfully print to it from there.
Can anyone suggest why the job never completes when the printer is attached to the PC?
Thanks, Ian

Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

(N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

Lightroom 2.5 not printing with main account user but prints with a new use

I have been troubleshooting all day. My new epson r280 is not printing with LR2.5 though it prints in other applications fine. Called epson and we are sure that I have the latest drivers, etc. Called Adobe and they had me create a new user in accounts in system preferences-accounts. When I tried printing from the "test user" LR printed with my epson printer. Adobe said the problem was with my system permissions and I had to reset my system permissions. This doesn't sound right to me. I ran disk utility and repaired my permissions but LR still doesn't print using my original user. Genius Book suggests going to Library-Preferences and to delete the plist. Does this sound right? And do I delete the p-list for LR or for the epson printer? What happens when you delete a p-list? Will I lose my catalog in LR? I would appreciate any help on this problem.

Just trying again to see if anyone has any solutions for this question. Thanks

Problems printing over network

i have a macbook pro and a macbook air running os x 10.5.8 that i usually print with over my wifi network to a kyocera mita fs-1010 that is connected by usb to a powerbook G4 running 10.3.9. the past few weeks there have been problems.
at first when i printed something it looked like the doc was spooling to the printer but then nothing came out the other end. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and the printer over LPD and IPP but it didn't improve.
i found this kb article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275 and ran the terminal command
cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'
next time i went to install the printer, the fs-1010 was there in the default list, i added it and all worked fine.
until today, the fs-1010 has disappeared from the printer list & i can't add it back & it's not showing up if i run the terminal command.
what may be the problem, and can anyone please help with a fix ?
thanks.

Well there must be something blocking the cups broadcast. Do you have the firewall enabled on any Mac or router? When the browsing is set to Bonjour, these packets will typically be allowed to pass through the network. But since you had to change the broadcast detection method to include CUPS (to support 10.3.9), then maybe this is being blocked between the PowerBook and the other Mac's?
If there is no firewall blocking, then another possible cause could be IP addressing. By default, Mac's on the same subnet as other Mac's will receive information being broadcast about shared printers. However, if the Mac is on a different subnet to the Mac sharing the printer, then the packet will not be seen. To resolve this you can ensure all Mac's are set to the same IP subnet (typically the first three numbers of the IP address).

Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

Hi,
We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

Illustrator "not responding" with networked account

Hello
1st time here...
We are running a small network of 33 iMacs (current Thunderbolt edition) on MacOS 10.6.8, attached to a MacPro Server running MacOS X Server 10.6.8.
We have about 130 users (school environment).
As maybe a speciality, the user home folders are on the Server in the Directory called "Home" (which is not on the server boot volume)
We bought a Volume Licence of CS Master collection vesrion 5.5.
We tweaked Adobe Acrobat to not crash following the redirect advices given elsewhere....
But we have no luck getting Illustrator to do what it should on these networked accounts...
What it does: click the Icon in the Dock (or double click the Application Icon in Finder):
it bounces a few seconds in the Dock and comes to rest. No splash screen or any kind of message.
If we look in Activity Monitor, Illustrator is in status of "not responding".
If I check the Log Illustrator writes in it's log, it stops after verifying the serial number.
I already contacted the local (Swiss) Adobe support by telephone, they told me:
if Illustrator runs with a local administrator account, we cannot help you
I contacted Adobe Live chat this morning. They told me to contact the phone number that gave me the above answer...
Any hints? I seem to be running in circles...
(sorry for english terms, it is not my native language, and i'm trying to translate from a german speaking Mac system)
Andreas

well, I did not change the operating system, I changed computers (server and clients) which came with a new operating system :-). The new computers probably would not run with the old operating system (10.4.11) and is not really good punblicity as a school to run old versions of applications ;-)
I got it running today...
For the records: Our support suggested to redirect
~/Library/Caches/Adobe/
~/Library/Caches/AdobeHelpData/
to the local disk.
I did not find
~/Library/Caches/AdobeHelpData/
in the folders of a local user who had already started Illustrator once, so in the end I redirected the whole
~/Library/Caches/
to the local disk. This might be too much for the problem I had to solve, but seems to do the trick and doesn't seem to have bad sideeffects...
