Remote Windoze Printer

Three months ago, I had to buy a new printer because the old one experienced a slow and painful death. Fast forward three months to the present day, my new printer has suddenly died. Now, there's only one printer left in the house, and it's in another room, attached to a windoze machine.
How do I set up my computer and the printer so that I can print to it remotely?

three ways:
samba/cups
lpd/cups
ipp/cups
I prefer lpd/cups it is universal (works with any network attached printer).
1) enable unix printing services on windows (would require installation disk)
2) enable unix printing services on windows
3) set printer share (either allow all or user)
4) open port tcp 515 in windows firewall
5) you are done with windows
on your linux box enable cups, connect to windows share (open konqueror (firefox is "loosing"sometimes control buttons) which is lpd, and point to http://localhost:631, install ppd file (if not available in the local printer db, get it from http://www.cups.org/ppd.php)
test it and that is all
with samba, you need to configure samba and cups and use http://localhost:631 to enable smb printer.
make sure that printing is allowed on your linux firewall

Remote Desktop Printer Redirection Stops Working Randomly on Server 2008 R2

We have a MS Windows Server 2008 R2 that is used SOLELY as a Terminal Services remote desktop server onto our network. It is used for employees who are off site and need to use the networked company software. VPN works, but is extremely slow for this software.
Over the past week, the redirected printers function has repeatedly stopped on this server. The employees need this to print to their own local printers. It will eventually restart itself, but after several hours. To get it started faster, I have to restart
the server.
I've done this maybe 6 time since last Monday. This has never been an issue before, and I cannot think of any change that may have occurred that could cause this.
The Event Viewer says this:
The Remote Desktop license server cannot update the license attributes for user "DrewR" in the Active Directory Domain "XXXX.main". Ensure that the computer account for the license server is a member of Terminal Server License Servers group
in Active Directory domain "XXXX.main".
If the license server is installed on a domain controller, the Network Service account also needs to be a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group.
If the license server is installed on a domain controller, after you have added the appropriate accounts to the Terminal Server License Servers group, you must restart the Remote Desktop Licensing service to track or report the usage of RDS Per User CALs.
Win32 error code: 0x80070005
(I inserted the Xs)
I've never looked at the Event Viewer on this server, but it is littered with messages such as this, and has been for months and months, so if this IS the issue, then it sure took its sweet time affecting anything.

Hi,
Initially try to update with the latest rollup for fixing remote desktop printing issue. You can check below link and verify result.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2647753
And for the error you can check the related information from beneath article.
TerminalServices-Licensing 4105 – The Terminal Services license server cannot update the license attributes for user “<UserName>” in Active Directory Domain “<DomainName>”
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2030310
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Mac Remote Desktop Printing not working

I have the following:
TS 2k3
Mac 10.5.6 with a AIO 6410 connected via USB
RDP 2.0 client for the Mac
I have installed the printer drivers on the server
The RDP client has the printer associated with it.
Printing fails. I'm thinking it has to do with the ports associated with the printer driver on the server

solved Setting up Arch to print to remote cups printer?

Any useful info on setting up Arch to print to remote cups printer? I did'nt succeed using the Cups Setup guide:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS_Setup
I have tried the localhost:631 admin interface and kprint. I get /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp failure and "stopped with status 22!" errors.
I will set the cupsd.conf LogLevel to debug2 and post anything needed from those results.

After a bit of searching I have managed to get remote printing to my cups server to work.
I reference 2 documents that helped me resolve this issue.
My searches were specific to my Brother hl1240 laser printer, Arch and cups but I think the resolution is general enough to help others who may have a different model of printer.
http://linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html
4. Install the Foomatic scripts.
(If you are using a native CUPS Raster driver, or are using a PostScript printer with a PPD from your printer vendor, you probably do not need Foomatic and should skip this step). Download foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper:
cd /usr/bin
wget http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-rip
wget http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-gswrapper
chmod 755 foomatic-rip foomatic-gswrapper
ln -s /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
The location of the CUPS filter directory may differ on other installations; look around for it. Also, be sure that your Perl interpreter is in /usr/bin (if not, edit the first line of the scripts).
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 03203.html
Here's what solved this for me. I browsed
http://linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html and notice the following:
"Download foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper."
Well, Arch only seems to supply foomatic-gswrapper, not foomatic-rip. When I
attempted to install the Arch foomatic-filters package, it complained,
saying foomatic-gswrapper is already contained in filesystem, with no
mention at all of foomatic-rip. The foomatic package also failed to install
foomatic-rip.
So I downloaded foomatic-rip from the above web site, copied it to /usr/bin,
where foomatic-gswrapper lives. Then I followed the next set of
instructions in the above mentioned document:
chmod 755 foomatic-rip foomatic-gswrapper
ln -s /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
I was never able to use the http://localhost:631 interface to get printing to work even after:
[1] installing foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper in the proper directory
[2] running chmod to make them executable
[3] creating the link as in the above quote
[4] running /etc/rc.d/cups restart
Setting up remote printing with kprint in administrative mode works very well, though.
This seems to be somthing that needs to be addressed in future releases ( I'm running 0.7.2) or maybe it was fixed in 0.8, though I have not seen mention of it.
Hopefully this will help someone else with a similar problem.

Using AiO Remote and HP ePrint to remotly control printer

Hi,
With ePrint Home and Biz and the previous version of the AIO remote app, I was able to control the scanner and printer as long as I remained connected to the Internet. In other words, I did not have to be within reach of the wireless network at home to be use the wireless features of the HP Office Jet Pro 8600. I cannot find the way to scan or copy any documenta even if not at home. All these could be done if there was someone at home who would be able to place the documents on the glass.
Is this feature available the HP connect and current ePrint?
Thank you,
Alvaro A.

Hello traveler021,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Regarding your question about the AiO Remote app and ePrint when trying to scan or copy with the Officejet 8600, you have to be on the same WiFi network.
The AiO Remote app does not allow you to control scanning or copying over the Internet. I do apologize for being the bearer of bad news, but this is not available without being on the same network.

JERENDS

Hi,
Do you find the solution ?
I have the same issue, only with W7 client not with XP client.
The "printing option" window doesn't appear foreground the remote application so the user have to use ALT+TAB combinaison to display the window !
Thanks in advance,

CUPS PDF PRINTING IN WINDOWS OVER REMOTE DESKTOP - PRINTER NOT LISTED

I am running OS X 10.6.2. I connect remotely using windows remote desktop / terminal services to various windows machines. For the XP and Windows 2003 Server 32 bit systems I have no problems with printing pdf documents from the remote windows system back to my mac using CUPS PDF. I don't have to install anything on the remote windows computer. However, for Windows 2003 Server 64 bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, the CUPS PDF printer does not appear in the printer list. I tried installing the Laserwriter 8500 print driver (which apparently CUPS uses) and attaching to a unused TS printing port. The printer appears in the list but it won't print, and it's obviously not attaching to my computer.
I can't upgrade my mac operating system until I resolve a keyboard driver issue with 10.6.3 and above. Any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue. I'm using Remote Desktop to connect to a 2008 R2 server and am trying to use PDFWriter as a redirected printer to create a PDF. It is only working after I check print to file, save the file (which it creates an XPS file that is not compatible), then I uncheck print to file, click print, and then it creates the pdf file I need.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically - I need to have a "PDF" printer because the print window is on the remote server and it doesn't have the save as pdf option.
Thanks.

Remote Shared Printer Q...

I have a powerbook and an iMac which has a printer connected to it. Both computers run on my airport express network and I share the imac connected printer with the powerbook for printing. I was wondering 2 things
1) When my imac goes to sleep, is there any option to have it "listen" for prints such that when I need to print from my powerbook I do not have to go downstairs and wake the imac, or is there no way...
2) This is of no concern but I am just curious, is there anyway to password lock my shared printer so in case I ever allow, say, neighbors on the network they cannot print to my shared printer?
Thank you,
TM

Hi TM
1. If a longer printer cable is not feasible, and assuming the iMac is also running Tiger, you can switch on Apple Remote desktop in the Sharing Preferences.
Then on your PowerBook, use Chicken of the VNC to wake the iMac up remotely.
2. Yes, it is possible.

Printing to a remote CUPS printer

Dear All,
I have a remote Linux server (Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit) running CUPS 1.50. A All-in-one HP printer (Officejet Pro L7300) is connected to the Linux box through an USB port. I have enabled dnssd (Bonjour) sharing in the cups server and my iMac (Snow Leopard) discoveres it correctly and prints flawlessly.
The problem is with printoptions. When I select the print quality say High-Color or Draft-Grayscale from any Mac applications say Preview or Openoofice, it prints only with the default options set in the CUPS server.
However, I can choose the print quality from any other Linux host printing via CUPS on the same printer. Only from the iMac, I can not choose the print quality (or printout mode). Somehow it prints only with the default options.
To save ink and paper, I many a time choose only draft-grayscale. However, I end up printing with Normal-color quality which is the printer default in the server. It's frustrating to reset the printer default everytime I print by going to the CUPS server's web intrerface and resetting the new defaults.
I have also tried adding the same printer through CUPS protocol and dnssd protocol in my iMac but to no avail.
Please help.

I have a similar problem trying to network two Macs and a PC for printer and file sharing. I too have the nagging feeling that there's one simple setting somewhere that would cure the problem. I posted a query a week ago (4/21) and got a response from iFelix who directed me to web pages he's posted with step-by-step instructions on setting up Macs and PCs for printer and file sharing:
Sharing files between an XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x
http://tech.ifelix.net/3020.html
Printing to a printer on a XP PC from a Mac running 10.4.x
http://tech.ifelix.net/3015.html
Printing to a printer on a Mac from a PC running Windows XP
http://tech.ifelix.net/3000.html
The instructions didn't solve my problem but perhaps they will yours.

Remote network print stalls, PC sharing printer shows spooling

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, my remote printing to a Canon iP4300 shared on an XP Pro SP2 no longer works.
My MacBook finds the printer, and allows me to print. Status shows that the document is printing. However, on the XP machine, the document shows as spooling. This remains stalled for many minutes. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the shared network printer on the MacBook. No joy.
This used to work just fine on Leopard. Has anyone run across this?

Hello Carlos and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your issue is probably due to the printer driver you are using on Snow Leopard. When you print to a Windows shared printer, you cannot use the Canon supplied drivers. For this type of network connection, you need to use the Gutenprint drivers, which may have been installed on your Mac depending on what customization you did on install.
What you can do is open Print & Fax, select the iP4300 in the Printers list and click Options & Supplies. Then open the Driver pane and change the Print Using menu from the Canon iP4300 series to the 'Canon PIXMA iP4300 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. This should get you printing again. If not, please reply.

Printing multiple copies of a document on a remote network printer queue

Hello,
We have migrated our main production instance (ECC6) from HP-UX to AIX 6.1, went live on monday.
Printers are defined like this:
SAP prints to the local operating system (C)
Local print queues are defined which point to remote printers still currently located on a HP UX server. Nothing was changed on this one.
Now since the migration on AIX, the parameter for multiple copies of a document is ignored, if we select for example 4 copies on the SAP print screen, only 1 copy is printed. It worked perfectly fine when the instance was on HP UX.
Seems that the lp command on AIX does not pass the optional parameters when printing on a remote printer (was acknowledged by AIX support), and if we issue manually on AIX a lp command with parameter -n2 for example, only one copy is indeed printed.
I wonder if there is a simple workaround to this problem since it must be quite common? I didn't find anything here or in the Sap notes.
Thanks.

Thanks, but the idea is to get it to work without additional products since it worked fine under HP UX.
Seems the AIX administrator has found a workaround with modifying the queue definitions in qconfig, to be BSD style... tests in progress

MS Remote Desktop Printing stopped working correctly. Please Help!!

I have been using MS Remote Desktop for mac for a couple months now. I had no problem printing from windows to a printer shared on a local windows network. For some reason it does not print correctly now. The print is aligned wrong and it doesn't fit on the screen. It is almost like its using the wrong driver. I know that the Apple Laserwriter driver sends the print to my mac which redirects it into the proper format. It worked great for a couple months, like I said. I don't know if the problem happened when I changed to the RDC 2.0b2. I tried going back to the original beta and it didn't work either. I don't know what went wrong. Please help me, I rely on this heavily. Thank You.

RDC still works for me, I'm glad to have windows to log into to avoid all the Mac Bugs !
It would probably help if you said what your problemactaully BTW ?

Remote App, Printer properties opens behind redirect dialog box

We noticed an issue in July 2013 with all redirect printers using RemoteApps on Server 2008R2.
When you clicl on File>Print and sleclt properties, the dialog box is opening behind the Windows windows telling you the printer has been redirectd by RDC. You can see the Printer Preferences and the only way to bring the window the front is
to click on the Window Title bar of the window.
I've seen others posting the same issue, but I haven't seen a resolution.

Hi,
I had the same problem in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
I downloaded the fix KB3036965
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3036965
and installed it on 2 test pc who had the problem. After I Installed the hotfix I worked.
But as Shimon Adimor say’s it is very annoying with the dialog box that appears, that informs you that the printer has been redirected. The KB3036965
does not fix this dialog. So if there is some solution to disable this dialog box it would be nice.
Thanks

Remote wireless printing problem

Using Officejet 4500 Wireless printer and Mac running Lion. Printer works great on network. I was told that I could print to my new printer "from Grandma's house", but I fail to understand how. If this is possible, could someone explain to me how?

The HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer Series (G510) is not ePrint enabled. ePrint would allow you to print "from Grandma's house". With the Officejet 4500, the only smartphone printing you can do would be with the HP ePrint Home & Biz app available for iPhone and Android phones.
