http://serverfault.com – I have an OSX Lion Server(OSX 10.7.5) acting as a CUPS(1.5.4) print server. I've added the network printer(Konica Minolta using Efi Fiery driver) and installed the appropriate drivers on the print server. The issue I'm having is that when I try to add the shared printer on client device (OSX 10.8.2), the client is unable to download the printer driver. The specific error states that the client is "Unable to download the software from the server at this time."

Stories similar to Can't download driver for shared CUPS printer

Hi all,I have a Canon MP600 printer/scanner connected via USB to a small print- and scan-server running Arch (last update was yesterday). The printer is shared over the network and can be accessed from a Windows 7 client. But from time to time after 1-2 prints the printer crashes. I that happens, only a power disconnect can bring it back.

I am trying to setup up an HP Officejet G85xi printer through an Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive, so that the printer can be shared over the network without requiring that an attached computer be turned on to print. There is a place on the back of the Network Hard Drive to plug in the printer with USB.

It has occurred to me that a workstation can connect to a printer in two ways: 1). Printing directly to the IP of the printer with the print driver installed locally. 2).

Can anyone think of a way of Re-Sharing a Shared Printer? When I connect the shared printers to Server 2008 R2, it comes up as a network printer, and settings take affect on the host (not the server) so I can't Re-Share it.

The reason I need this is I have a number of workstations that run software in which I have to hardcode the printer name.

I download Epson LQ-850 driver for Panasonic KX-P1121(as advice in forum) so the printer is working for some time then suddenly it start to print gibberish. So I removed all cups software then re-install it again, came out asking for keyword to connect to print server but can't go in after a while it just hang up.

I have zero experience with XenApp, so please forgive my totally noob question.

I have just installed XenApp 6.5 with rollup update 1 on 2008R2 server, and client can connect to XenApp just fine. The problem is that when they need to print something, they can't see their printer. I don't want them to print on shared printer, since mostly they work from their home or wherever they are.

I re-deployed a printer via group policy after updating the printer drivers on the print server.

On some Windows 7 workstations the drivers could be updated on a printer by right-clicking it --> Update Driver. However most workstations do not offer this function, therefore are stuck with the printer's old driver & printing preferences.

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 print server set up hosting out multiple printers to my end users. I would like to change the naming convention for all of the printers hosted on the print server and want this change reflected on the client end.

For example: I have a HP4000 printer named "Cottage" on the print server.

Greetings,I am having some difficulty connecting to a shared printer on another CentOS system connected to a USB HP Photosmart C3180 printer. I am able to print locally, but I cannot co... [by tuxadelic]
