Server Admin not showing jobs in print queue

Hi All,
I'm not sure if others are having this problem or if it's just me.  I am running Mac Server OS X 10.6.7  When I go to Server Admin and select "Print" and then "Job Status", I get a list of all the server's print queues.  In the pane below the list of queues, there is a section that says "Jobs on Queue:" which then allows me to select any specific print queue.  The problem is, no matter what queue I select, I am never able to see any of the print jobs going through the queue.  I have sent multiple jobs to different printers on the server, all while watching the "Jobs on Queue" window for the appropriate printer.  In every test, I have never seen ANY print job show up in that window, even though all the print jobs print out fine.  I have even tried pausing a printer to let jobs queue up, and still nothing shows up in that window.
I have also tried the same tests while viewing the prints queues from the "Print & Fax" System Preferences pannel directly on the server.  Still no luck.  Everything prints out fine, but I am unable to ever see any print job hitting the queue.
The reason I even noticed this problem is because a user accidentally printed a 500 page document by mistake.  The user called me to stop the job, but I was unable to see anything in the queue to kill.  I tried deleting the job directly from the printer, but this just caused the printer to lock up.  I would try powering off the printer and restarting it, but as soon as it powered back on, the print job would restart.  I even tried restarting the server, but as soon as the server came back online, the print job started again.  Finally, after hunting on the web, I tried logging into CUPS via http://localhost:631 and was able to see the print job listed there and finally delete it.
Is there any way to monitor print jobs on the server in real time?  I found this previous archived thread describing what appears to the same problems using Mac Server OS X10.5.8, but there was never any solution listed before the thread was archived.

Is there anyone using printing services on a Mac server at all that could comment on whether or not you see the print jobs listed in the queue when printing?

  • Server admin not showing network traffic graph

    This topic was posted a while ago with no solution, and it has been [archived|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6953359]. I have just experienced the same problem with Leopard Server Admin (SA). It seems to be a problem on the server, not in the client admin, since it occurs both when I use SA on the server itself and a client, and deleting client prefs. has not helped. I'm presuming that there is a corrupted database or prefs. file for this graph.
    All the other SA graphs show just fine. Fixing permissions has not helped, either.
    Anyone have any idea where to look on the server? Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure I have since I have a few Mac Mini's on the network with their home directory residing on the server and my Windows users are sharing a few daily use files on the server including a MYOB data file, also our intranet web site is hosting on the same server, not to mention I have 3 print queues there and all the outgoing mails from both of our all-in-one scan to email machines are using the same server. All of these services and users are using their computer as if nothing is wrong, so I have to assume that there is network traffic unless server admin interprets the term "network traffic" differently.

  • Server: Mail configuration of Server Admin not showing ANY Accounts

  • Server Admin not showing IMAP connections and false Mailman status

    Although several users are connected to the cyrus IMAP server (IMAPS/TLS) Server Admin reports zero connections. Also Server Admin reposts that Mailinglists are stopped but Mailman is running fine.
    Any suggestions? I'm running Mac OS X Server 10.5.5 (9F33) and the same version of the Admin Tools.
    Best regards,
    Stefan

    For mail status, do a comparison via the Terminal:
    sudo serveradmin fullstatus mail
    But I have also seen this issue with 10.4 server (IMAP connections not reliably reported).
    If you watch the system.log , you can see incoming connections (authentications) happen.
    Another way to check for active IMAP connections is via:
    netstat -anp tcp | grep 143
    (or, use 993 for IMAP w/SSL )
    The best way to administer mailman is via its web interface, which you can access on your server via
    http://mail.yourserver.com/mailman/admin
    where of course "mail.yourserver.com" is its FQDN without actual quotation marks.

  • Server Admin not showing all accounts under "maintenence"

    Using server admin on OS X (10.4.11) on an xServe, I cannot see all of the accounts listed.
    Going to Mail -> Maintenance -> Accounts, it only lists out the first 20 accounts. I have no idea how to see the rest of the accounts.
    Any way to increase the number of accounts listed so I can view all of the accounts? I cant see free space or repair any accounts after the letter "B"
    Thanks

  • "unable to get printer status" and "server-error-not-accepting-jobs"

    I've got an Intel Mac Pro with Tiger. When I accepted the latest update from Apple, I lost all my defined printers! I've re-added a local USB printer and a networked Laserjet - fine. But I also added a Phaser 850 color printer (networked) which used to work fine. It connects ok, and opens the printer queue window, but when it tries to print, it says "Unable to get printer status (server-error-not-accepting-jobs". The queue stays active (not stopped) but the jobs don't move. I've tried deleting the printer and re-making it - same deal. What's going on?

  • Server Admin only shows 201 messages in Mail Queue

    This issue has been haunting me since 10.5.0 and I can't seem to get rid of it. It's not crucial, but very obnoxious. In Server Admin (from multiple computers) the mail queue will only show a maximum of 201 messages. If there are more than that I have a cryptic "message" at the end of the list that has a message ID of "FFFFFFFFFFFF" and the Recipients Field has [...]
    I would love to be able to see all the messages in my queue if possible, but haven't found anywhere to fix this.
    Any help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks Alex. We aren't bouncing spam on our mail server, but I do notice that a lot of the mail is from MAILER-DAEMON. I'm assuming it's "User not Found" messages from hosts that don't really exist. I've tweaked the server using some suggestions from osx.topicdesk.com to clear some of those out, but it hasn't been 100% effective.
    I think part of the issue is that the server is a dual G4 Xserve and is scanning junk mail on all messages. I assume that those two factors contribute to the backup of mail in the queue.
    As for volume of mail, we receive 100k a month.

  • HT3669 My macbook pro does not print through my PC to my EPSON RX 500 after loading OS X 10.7.4. It shows on the print queue "error"  However, it will print if I directly connect my laptop to this printer via the USB connection.  Any ideas?

    It's all about setting up what ever version of windows you have running on your pc to share the printer. If you still get stuck post in a windows forum for help.

  • Server Admin not displaying groups correctly

    Server 10.5.8, Mac Pro 4 core 2.66, 56 GB RAM.
    Had a crash yesterday, all back to normal now except:
    Server Admin's "show users and groups" is not displaying groups correctly" "users" is missng, and any new groups I created in WM are missing. Even if I sort by GID, they don't show up. And yet, if I type "staff" in the search bar, it shows up with GID 20. Also shared folders are showing up as groups

    Surely someone can at least point me in the right direction? I tried rebuilding the LDAP database, but that didn't fix it.

  • A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1

    A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1. How can I fix this?

    Is it an Airprint-compatible printer, and is its WiFi enabled if it is? (see: About AirPrint)
    If it isn't an Airprint supported printer, then you need a 3rd party driver on your iMac to print from an iPhone. Such as Printopia. As it worked in the past you probably have such a printer driver installed; check and see if it's running.
    Beyond that try restarting the printer, restarting the phone, restarting your router, and restarting your computer.
