[MacTUG] El Capitan Printing issues

[Keith McGowan]

Hi Don,

I find the following works for us…

lpadmin -p printername -v smb://print-server-name/printername –L “location” -D printername -P /path/to/driver –o printer-is-shared=false –E

We were adding “–o auth-info-required=negotiate”, but that broke with Mavericks. We then used “-o auth-info-required=username,password”, which worked, but this is the default, so now we don’t add anything.
If the system is not joined to Nexus, users will need to enter their Nexus credentials (userid: nexus\userid) and save them if they don’t want to be prompted.

Subject: [MacTUG] El Capitan Printing issues

I have been having issues setting up printers on El Capitan computers. It is reproducible on any El Capitan computer I try to install on. I will update a mac tonite from Yosemite to El Cap and see if the printers fail.

The server I am trying get to printsrv.uwaterloo.ca (a windows print server in IST). Currently I do not have another print server to test again that has LPR/LPD services turned on.

I can set up printers two ways and have it work fine — as long as the OS is not El Cap (10.11):

  *   With a unix command line (ran as root) such as —  lpadmin -p printername -v smb://print-server-name/printername -D printername -P /path/to/driver -o printer-op-policy='authenticated' -o printer-is-shared=false –E
  *   Sys Prefs > Printers & Scanners > + button > IP and then enter address and queue and point to the driver
To repeat, both of these work (and have worked in the part) with every recent OS other than the latest, El Capitan

So far I have only tested it with printsrv.uwaterloo.ca but I will try others.

Is anyone else seen this issue?
