Supporting OS X Printing

[cchipman]

Hi folks. We've recently acquired (through Consultants ) a few Mac OS X laptops, and want to enable them to print. So far so good. The OS X laptops can connect to the servers, authenticate, and print to some of the printers, but a couple of the printers don't show up to the Macintosh computers. The work fine for the windows Boxes. All the permissions seem to be the same, and they are all published in AD?

Any ideas for why some of them (the ones physically closest to the users of course) are not showing up?

Are all of the printers configured on one printer server? Or are there multiple print servers? I would guess that one or more print servers do NOT have the MAC services installed. Only printers existing on print servers with MAC services turned on will be available to the MACs.

All the printers are on one server.

I don't know if it's still true for OS X, I think it is, but older Macs could not print to a printer that was not Postscript.
