Hey guys. This problem has been plaguing me for weeks. No matter what I try I cannot get our 10.7 Macs to print to two of our printers connected via Windows print servers in the office. The print servers are set up to allow computers to connect using the IP. On the Windows computers this is easy, you simply set the Printer up as an IP printer, enter the IP, select the software, and it works. But with the Macs it isn't so easy. I've tried multiple ways, and I've gotten it to (seemingly) recognize the printer using the correct drivers. But it either simply doesn't print or goes goes to hold as soon as I try to print.
Both printers are Epson Workforce 1100's, each with their own print server. I can print to other printers in the office and I know the Macs are on our Domain. It's just these older print servers that the Macs don't like. One of the print servers is a Trendnet Te100-MP1UN and the other is a Netgear PS121. Both connect to the printer using USB and then have ethernet going out to a router, which connects to our office network.
So is there anything I can try to get this to work? Or should I tell my boss it's not possible and we have to buy new print servers?
