Should be a simple task... I'm obviously missing something simple.
Trying to get a network printer in OS X SERVER 10.6.8 working.
Here's the details....
I have a HP C4380 inkjet connected to my server (10.6.8) via USB. If I follow the Apple Printer Admin manual, p25, it says to configure the print queue "enter an IP or DNS name". I'm using USB.
SO... I deviate from the manual, and try this:
I setup a LOCAL printer, and it recognizes it just fine. Setup no problem.
Go back into Print Service, and now I see my printer queue - already setup - but no protocol is checked. And, my clients (10.6.8) can't see it, unless I check "LPR" and "Show name in bonjour".
Then, my clients can see it - however, when I add it, I have to manually select the "print using:" driver (c4380), and when sending a test page, the queue on the client simply says "In use" for 2 seconds, then "Paused" forever after. The server queue doesn't even show a job, nor is there anything in the logs that indicates that a job even came in.
Please help point me in the right direction,
Thanks,
