[MacTUG] new retail services printers

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

Hi folks

We are getting some new printers from retail services and my lpradmin command which has worked for quite some time, in the form of

lpadmin -p queue_name -v smb://server_name/queue_name  -D  queue_name  -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/ppd_name -o printer-op-policy='default' -o printer-is-shared=false -E

ceased working. I was getting these danged “Printer Status Incoming” pests in my queue. See screen shot here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m21p5iha713twkp/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-02%20at%205.46.18%20PM.png?dl=0.  A little googling and I realized I had not included the “ auth-info-required=negotiate” option

lpadmin -p queue_name -v smb://server_name/queue_name  -D  queue_name  -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/ppd_name -o printer-op-policy='default' -o printer-is-shared=false -E -o auth-info-required=negotiate

But this seems to have done the trick, knock on wood! Time to go home!

More info: I was initially doing as described here (not that I got the info from here but it is what I was doing):  https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/7082/papercut-+-os-x-+-sso-bliss but a bit farther digging lead to this thread https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/7082/papercut-+-os-x-+-sso-bliss. The funny thing is that I have not been having the problem (of requiring the the “ auth-info-required=negotiate” option) until these new printers.

Notice that last URL is kind of what we need “Papercut plus OS X plus SSO bliss” I can use some of that!
