Yosemite OSX Server 4, pushed printers show as 'not connected'

I am using a Mac Mini on Yosemite with Server 4 primarily as a profile server.  It's pushing out two printers to clients, both Ricoh MP 3503's with the latest drivers.  Clients receiving the printers from the profile server get "Printer not connected" when printing to them.  When you add the printer locally, either by IP or as a managed printer on the server, clients can print just fine.
The printers and server are in the same subnet but clients are in another.  You can discover the printers through the Mac Mini server, or by adding them by IP and again, printing is just fine.  If the printer is added through the profile server, you get 'Printer not connected", something about adding them from the client vs. pushed through a profile is affecting whether or not the client can see the printer.
I've tried resetting the printer system locally and on the server, verifying reachability between the client and printers, adjusting the domain on the printers so they're in the same domain as the clients.

A lot to check for!
All my users are "Local Network Users" setup in what is now Server 4.03 (as of a few days ago), not Local Users.
Ours are Local Users - but I would argue strongly against this being a factor.
My usergroup is also a "Local Network Group", not a Local Group.
Ours are Local User Groups - but I would argue strongly against this being a factor.
I believe you can print from your server as your clients can when the server is sharing - but just to ask, can you print from the server?
You are correct.  I can print directly to the printer, or I can print through/on the server without any problems.  Yes, I can print from the server.  Both as a client that's added the server's shared printer or as a local user on the server.
Under Sharing menu in System Preferences on the Server, is Printer Sharing OFF (it is off for me).
No, it is on.  Presently, the server is sharing out the printers for discovery because clients are in a different subnet.  They cannot discover the printers on their own.  The printer has an IP in both the printer subnet and the client subnet.
We use the Mac Server for DNS and DHCP, so that printer is statically assigned on the server, just sayin'.
With all I've heard about DNS, I was thinking hard on this but I don't think it's a factor.  We use a Windows 2012 server for DHCP and DNS.
Take a look at this screenshot below - it is of my Profile Manager where that printer "Fiery" works fine passing to the clients.
Yes, what about it?
Could it be a router port problem? On our router, an Airport Extreme, we have opened up Printer Sharing ports, see screenshot below.
No, because we don't segment our network.  I can add the printer directly to my client machine and print to it without issue - I just can't discover it because I'm in a different subnet then the printer.  The server acts as an intermediary, I can discover the server's shared printers because the server is in the same subnet as me.
On my Printer Options - I will open a thread, it is just that you had some experience and I wanted to hear about it and I may not have under another thread (you would have no reason to have looked for it). Anyway, I will open a thread, thanks for letting me know your experience with "Options"!
I appreciate it!  I'm just trying to keep a convoluted problem as clear as possible.  I am nearly positive your issue has to do with the printer driver you have installed on the server.  The clients get the driver from the server, we used to have ours show up as 'generic printer', but then downloaded a different type of driver, PS is generic, PCL6 showed up as specific.

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

  • Why is my Officejet 8600 showing as not connected in eprint? printer shows connected

    The printer shows e-mail address correctly.  It shows connected.  All web services are turned on.  Why is it still showing as not connected on eprint.com?

    Dear Godbee 1997,
    Try a power cycle on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer for 20 seconds while the printer is still powered on. While the power is draining from the printer log out of your ePrintCenter account. Once the printer is back at the home screen, log into your ePrintCenter account. Your printer should now show connected and ready. If not, please let me know. I hope this helps.

  • Osx server and push services

    hello, It's possible configure in my iphone my account push create in osx server leopard? for calendars and mails?

    We did what MLNNASH suggested and it works fine. Set it up using the imap SSL for security. While testing we also set up a VPN as JohnH suggested so that it can be secured that way if desired. I did have to set up the phone to contact our server but that wasn't complicated. We get access to and send and receive from our mail accounts without trouble.
    I don't use it but it does appear that once you set up the phone mail account to contact your server you can have the phone check every so often automatically.

  • OSX Server as spam filter only and not mail server?

    We have a mail server runnning on a Sun RAQ 550. I was wondering if I could set up OSX server 10.3.9 for spam filtering only. That is, filter spam for our domain, but have not have any accounts set up on it. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, don't mean to be rude, but this has been answered about 5 times on this board. This is what the search function is for.
    Anyway, here we go again:
    Yes it is possible. 10.4.x has all you need. For 10.3.x you will have to manually install amavisd, spamassassin and clamAV. How-to has been discussed as well here and on http://www.afp548.com
    Once you have it everything installed, it is a matter of tweaking a few configuration files to forward scanned mail to your actual mail server.

    The error The process could not connect to Subscriber 'Server name' indicates that the Distribution Agent process account does not have enough permissions to connect to the Subscriber.

  • HT2275 Do I need to choose "Share this printer on the network" for printers that are not connected directly to my MacBook Pro? I have two HP printers connected to an Airport Extreme (WiFi turned off). I connect by WiFi to another Airport Extreme w cable t

    I have three Airport Extreme (AE) routers in my home network.
    The main AE is set up for wifi access. The other two are connected by ethernet cables to the main AE. My MacBook Pro connects to the network wirelessly through the main AE. The AE in my office has two HP printers connected to it by ethernet cables. I have a Kodak All-in-one that is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro.
    I reset my printer connections on my MacBook Pro and had to add all the printers back to my printer list. I don't know if I understand what the checkbox "Share this printer on the network" in the Print & Fax System Preferences window is for. My guess is that I don't need to share printers unless they are connected to my MacBook Pro by USB, so I should uncheck the "Share this printer on the network" box for the two HP printers that are connected to the AE. I print to them over the network, but they're not connected directly to any computer. I thought if my MacBook Pro wasset to share them and was shutdown, the printers might not be available to my Mac mini or Dell PC, which connect by ethernet to the office AE (which has the two printers connected to it).
    What should I do?
    For printers connected directly to a Mac (or PC) by USB, check the "Share this printer on the network" box? In my Sharing Preferences, I check "Share Printers."
    For printers connected to the AE by ethernet, UNcheck the "Share this printer on the network" box on my Macs (& PCs?) when I add the printers to my printer list? In my Sharing Preferences, I UNcheck "Share Printers?"

    Question is - will the 2 networks (using auto channel negotiations) exist well in the same house or will there be interference?
    Things will be fine since the AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme will automatically search for a good wireless channel. If you assign a separate name for the wireless network, then devices will need to log in separately to this network. The extending device will need to be configured in Bridge Mode.
    My suggestion would be to configure what is known as a "roaming" network in your question #2. In this case, you would assign the same wireless network name, security and password settings to the extending device and configure it in Bridge Mode.
    The advantage to #2 is that you will be able to walk your laptop from a location near the Time Capsule and as you move close to the extending device, the laptop will automatically switch to pick up the stronger signal from the extending AirPort.
    You are actually creating a separate network in #2, so you have the advantage of maximum bandwidth for both the TC network and the AirPort network.
    Question - does the Airport Express have to be directly connected to the TC or can that connected be through a switched network?
    I'm assuming that you are asking about an Ethernet switch here, correct?  The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme can connect to the Ethernet switch, or directly back to a LAN port on the Time Capsule, whichever is easier to setup.
    Question 2 - assuming I can connect the Airport Express to the TC over a switched network, will "extending" the network using the Ethernet network still reduce my overall wireless bandwidth?
    Connecting the remote device using Ethernet is by far the best way to extend a wireless network because it maintains maximum bandwidth on the network. This is the way that any good commercial network is designed.
    Post back if you need any tips to get things setup.

    Any idea why this exception thrown ? Is this because of weblogic server connections cleanup or something to do with connections?  As per my understanding , JDBC connection will not be released when AM is active/managed mode.  Oracle Doc says
    " That application module instance holds onto the JDBC connection object that it acquired from the pool until the application module instance is removed from the application module pool."

    jbo.ampool.maxinactiveage is set to 20 min which means that If AM in the pool is inactive for 20 min then clean this AM in the next cycle (still that is not our case).  We also set jbo.recyclethreshold="50" means 50 AMs can exists in the pool with managed-state. We set these because of performance reasons.  As per my understanding, AM instance will be deleted (????) but in any action on the UI will pick up another instance of the AM because datacontrolframe is still valid in the session.  Do we have any best practice like jbo.ampool.maxinactiveage should be equal to session time out?. The error seems AM lost the underlying JDBC connection and somehow application is using that stale AM ?. what will be possible reason?.

  • Our Printer 6700 all in one shows " Printer not connected" on Mac

    Hi,
    We recently changed our router from Netgear to Lynksys. Since then we have problems to print from MAC computers and laptops.
    The Printer is connected properly to the Router, our computers as well and of course on the same network.
    The Macs recognize the printer at first and when we try to print it says 'Printer not connected".
    We reset printing system a few times and still have the same problem.
    Please help , as the printer works properly from an Sony Vaio PC but not from our Macs.

    Hi @AnthonyMiami ,
    I see that you are having issues printing over the wireless network on the Mac computers since changing your router. The PC works though. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer..
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
    Try printing.
    If you are still having issues, add the printer through the IP Protocal to see if you can print, just to rule out a network issue.
    Go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, click on the + button, select the IP Protocal across the top, type in the printer's IPv4 address, select jet direct below and then Apply.
    Try printing.
    Please let me know the results.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please again cross check whether you have properly configured certificate attached with the server. Because the error which you are facing is generally due to corrupted certificate on server side. As you have already tried, I again want you to back up the registry
    setting and then remove the X509 certificate registry key under below mention path, restart the computer and reactivate the RD Licensing Server.

    Problem:
    MacBooks running 10.4.6 and 10.4.8 don't connect to the internet, wired or wireless. Problem appears to be in DHCP. MacBooks only show the 169.124.167.29. Linksys shows the Mac has been issued a 192... address. If I manually enter the 192... on the Mac I can get the linksys admin page but still no internet.
    On 10.4.6 I seem to get a wireless connection but no DHCP.
    On 10.4.8 I get nothing.
    Everything works with Windows and with Linux--wired or wireless--everything.
    The Macbook with 10.4.6 used to work wireless before I upgraded the linksys firmware.

    If I manually enter the 192... on the Mac I can get the linksys admin page but still no internet.
    By typing that into Safari or such, that means you're connected to the Router at least, but you need to use that number for the Router setting in Networks>TCP/IP>
    Try full Manual setup there, (not DHCP with Manual Address)
    IP: 192.x.y.z where x and y are the same as the Router's IP, and z is a different number than any other z numbers on the Router... 5 above another one you find should work.
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.whatever got Safari to open the admin page.

    Bought my 4S two weeks ago.  Overall, I have been impressed with phone except with Siri. The connection with Siri has been intermittant to say the least.  The Apple rep said that its a server issue with Verizon and that i need to deal with them.  After reading several reviews, it seems that it must be a flaw in the Siri technology.  Any word from Apple about this?  Inconsistent service from an Apple Iphone application to me is unacceptable, especially when it is one of the selling points of the phone.
