Can't print to Windows Printer
in [UK Mac]
|
From: Conor on 28 Feb 2010 13:16 Setup: Windows 7 with printer attached and shared via network. Sharing done with user accounts/passwords. NTLMV2 fix applied so it asks for LM as well. Win7 box can see shares on Macbook and access them, write to and read from. Macbook.. Mac OS X 10.6.2, all latest updates applied. OK, so I can access shared folders on the Win7 box but have to do the old "Connect to Server" routine as Finder doesn't show it automagically yet does for WinXP shares... When adding a printer, I have to use the "Add Advanced" button to toolbar method as clicking on the Windows one does nothing. So far I've tried smb://user:pass(a)workgroup/computer/share, which doesn't work, smb://user:pass(a)IP address/share which doesn't remember the user:pass. When printing a test page, I get On Hold (Authentication required) so I'm guessing its an authentication problem with CUPS? Googling gets me nowhere. Tried everything that's shown for 10.5.x and later which seems to be where it all started going wrong. Any ideas? -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

I could print to it from any Windows box or Linux though. FWIW, have you installed Bonjour on yer W7 machine? Cheers, T i m

Works with XP and Vista so is a Win7 specific problem. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

For Win7. Create account with same login details as for Mac Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows Features on and off. Go to the Print and select everything. If you look below you'd think you only need to select LPD but it doesn't work if you do just that. Share the printer. Note down the IP address of the computer and the share name. On Snow Leopard Add Printer. Select IP. Select LPD for the protocol. Enter the IP address of the Win7 box in the Address box and the share name in Queue. Give it a name and location if you want and in Print Using, select the driver. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

The need to synchronise accounts or forcing them to have passwords to connect etc. I'm currently playing with a Windows Home Server and after installing connector it says summat along the lines of 'there isn't an account on the server that matches the name of the user on your machine ..', however, it still let's you connect with a different one (as it should). ;-) > >On Snow Leopard >Add Printer.

I only got as far as 10.5 as I sorta lost the urge to go any further. My version of W7 is also about to expire (and I doubt I'll be buying a copy) and the only machine that has Vista tends to be used more in Ubuntu than anything else. I rate Vista nearly as high as OSX on the frustration stakes! Cheers, T i m |
