[UniMacTech] OSX Server 10.5.5 pushing out printers

[Jeff Kirby]

Hey all,

 

So, I'm pushing out printers from my Mac Server (OSX 10.5.5), and my Canon
printers don't come down. The Ricoh and HP ones do, but the Canon ones
don't. Now it would seem this is linked to the fact that the Canon printers
in question, are not in the default driver list (in fact, the server fails
to even push out the 'Generic PostScript' printers), and extra drivers need
to be installed. I've got the drivers in the server and the client, so all
should be well but obviously it's not.

 

It could be that, given Canon no longer supports OSX as an ongoing operating
platform (apparently), OSX has in turn not supported new Canons either. Who
knows.

 

Anyone has similar behaviour? The printers are hosted on a Windows 2003 SP2
server, so I'm just pushing out SMB printers. It does not work even if I
create an IP printer on the Mac server and put the correct driver in.
However, if i say it is a HP 3000 for instance, flawless.

 

Cheers,

 

Jeff
