Silent Printer install for SMB Printers

We are having an Issue/Annoyance with Zenworks Printer policies and mapping SMB Printers. We are currently on Version 10.3.4 but it has always been the same for older versions as well. On Windows XP/Vista/7 whenever a printer is mapped it pops up a Window saying (Example: "Connecting to HP4000_Room1 on SEKDPS"). This wasn't too bad originally because we had printers mapping to a folder for each specific room, so only a printer or two would pop up quick and go away. Recently we needed to make a change so that students could have access to other printers all over the building. Now when a student logs in for the first time on some computers they spend up to 10 minutes with constant pop ups that the printers are connecting. Is there anything we can do to make this window silent, hidden or at least minimized. I know I can move these policies back to a login script/Group Policy preference and they will connect silently but would rather assign these via Zenworks especially since they are all already configured for defaults and etc.
Thanks,
Jarrod

  • How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

    How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
    I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

    Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
    If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

  • Changing Default Print Quality for Photosmart Printers in Stand Alone mode

    Hello Everyone. I am using a group of Photosmart Printers in Stand Alone mode for events where I shoot and print on site. Although I have quite a few printers with me (6 total at a time), I prefer to have the printers print in "Normal" Print Quality Mode, instead of "Best". Images come out twice as fast, and because I have a disciplined shooting technique, I get "GREAT" results from the "Normal" setting. I and/or my assistant have to go to my "Preferences" to change my Print Quality everytime we prepare to print another batch of photos. Sometimes we have groups that will want 5 copies, and it simply takes FOREVER in Best mode, and really, although with a 5x Loupe I can tell the difference, My customers can't with their naked eye. Sometimes we forget to change the setting due to the pressure of the pace sometimes. OOPS!
    I am using the following Photosmart Printers: A516, A512v and the 335.
    As I stated, I don't use these with a computer, I drive them straight from CF Cards. I do have all the original software, if I need to use the computer to make some changes. Just tell me how. Manual says nothing about getting the setting to default to normal.
    Thank you so very much in advance.
    BLAYZE!

    Hello:
    One way of assuring high quality would be to export the photo to the desktop (at highest quality) and then print from there.
    In my own case, I find that when I occasionally print a photo from iPhoto, the quality is quite good.

  • Pavilion g6 1 d62nr failed printer install for priners

    HP Officejet 8600 Plus has stopped working. on my Pavilion g6-1d62nr.  Deleted the printer and tried to reinstall using wireless connection received error message "The printer installation failed" so I tried to set it up using a wired connection got the same message.  Tried installing an HP 6500 and got the same error message.  Tried using HP Recovery Manager to see if it would help but received an error message.  Any ideas?

    I see that you are getting the printer installation failed error with your HP Officejet 8600 plus and your HP 6500, on Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to look into it for you!

    As well as this Microsoft Fix It program, Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled.

  • Can I set up custom default printer profiles for different printers in mountain lion?

    I have 2 printers connected to my Mac. An officejet and an Eltron label printer. I constantly need to manually change the default label printer size to print to the label printer or officejet. Is there a way to set it where all print jobs going to the label printer is 4x6? Sometimes, I forget and waste some labels to the eltron or send a job to my office jet and it prints a 4x6 image of the document on letter paper. Obviously its a bit of a hassle. If anyone has a trick for this or even third party software, please advise.

    Andrew,
    If i am clear with your requirement then You can achieve this by setting the value manually in PR.

  • Silent Print Issue

    Dear all,
    I have used javascript silent print command for printing pdf document. This functionality is working fine for last 1 year. Recently my user has reported issue in the functionality. I have checked functionality at my end and its still working fine. When I tried similar on my user's machine, its not working. Only difference which I can make out is that I have only Adobe Reader 9.4.3, where as my user has Adobe Reader 9.4.1 along with writer.
    Can you please help?
    - Is it due to different version fo adobe reader?
    - Is is due to some settings in adobe reader?
    - Does it anything to do with javascript for silent print?
    - Does it related to some windows version / registry settings around default printer?
    Regards,
    Satty

    Hi,
    No error message as such.
    The popup appears "This document is trying to print. do you want to allow this?" and on clicking on "Yes", nothing happens. Where as in my machine (9.4.3), on clicking "Yes", document is sent to the default printer for printing and it works fine.

  • Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.
    Regards.

  • Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

    We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
    For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

    Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
    Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
    Thanks guys,

  • Windows 7 64 bit machine with printer installed locally takes 2-3 minutes for printing most of the time and fails to print some time.

    Our customer  have 3-4 windows machines in local area network (No Domain Login) with different OS versions and platform architecture (32 / 64 bit)
    I have no idea about the configuration of  machine to which printer is hooked up but it is running Windows for sure.
    This machine is accessible from any other machine in LAN. They have another machine running Windows 7 64 bit OS  on which they have installed the printer connected to earlier machine  using local printer driver installation
    with local TCP/IP port being selected during installation. Installation goes well,  printer gets installed successfully and  shows ready state. but when we try to print anything on it takes 2-3 minutes to complete print job. They have tried
    this on printers with couple of different model and make but the result is same delayed printing. They have also tried to install different printer drivers like HP printer model specific driver and HP universal driver too , but the result is
    the same in all cases. earlier when they were using  32 bit XP machine with printer installed same way that they installed now for win 7 64 , there was no issue seen with regards delayed printing. is this a issue with windows  7 64
    bit printing system ? or it has to do something with mixed and matched (32/64 bit )printer drivers running on different machines on LAN ?
    I will try to get more information with regards to the machine to which printer is connected.In the mean please revert back to me if any one had face similar issue and able to resolve it successfully.    
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    Have you tried ping ip address of printer? and check if there exists any data lost in network connection. If your network connection is crowded, it can cause delay for printer.
    Also, please attempt to disable all security software temporarily, such as antivirus, firewalls,etc and
    clear all printer cache.
    Locate to task manager, check the state of spoolsv.exe, including cpu and memory. If it has high cpu or memory usage, it may be caused by malware. Thus, you'd better to make a full scan with the latest anti-virus.

  • Install printer driver for a  shared printer MP520

    Hi,
    I need to install the Canon MP520 (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=116&mo delid=15483) printer to my MBP. The printer is connected to another a mac running OSX and is shared. I installed the OSX driver provided on the Canon page and I can see the shared printer in the network printers but when I am asked to choose the driver I can't see the correct model listed.
    On the other hand, if I simply connect the same printer via USB, to my MBP it is recognized directly.
    When I'm asked to provide the driver while adding the printer via the network, there is also the option to browse to the driver location. So my question is, where are the can I find the right driver on the OS ?
    Thanks in advance ,
    Tex

    Reading your first post it sounds like the method you used to connect to the shared printer may have been incorrect.
    When a Mac is sharing a printer, to add this printer on another Mac, you select the Default browser view. You should see the printer name followed by Shared in this view. When you select it, there should be no requirement to browse for a printer model. The queue should just be created with minimal driver options.
    If you want to have all the features of the MP520 available to your Mac, then you need to install the same driver on your Mac as what is being used by the Mac sharing the printer. Check this carefully as Canon offers two drivers for Mac OS X and you can also use the free Gutenprint driver set for the MP520. If you open System Preferences > Print & Fax on the sharing Mac, select the printer in the list and look at the Kind section of the right hand pane, the driver version will be displayed. With a bit of luck the driver that was used to install on this Mac might still be available so that you can install it on your Mac.
    Note also that you don't have to add the printer queue to your Mac to print to a shared Mac printer. From the majority of applications, when you select to print, you should find a Shared Printer option in the print dialog > Printer menu. This can be beneficial if you don't have a requirement to add this printer to your list, such as when you are visiting someone with Mac's. This doesn't sound like your situation but wanted to make you and others you read this aware of this fact.
