RE: 10.4.8 Printing

I have done some more testing and found out that the local administrator account cannot print but root can. This makes me think that it might be a permissions issue. Does anyone know what permissions to check? I think I made a bad move when I got rid of the receipts folder to save space on my image, as I am not allowed to run the check permissions command. It states that there are no valid packages.

 

 

I am having a very weird problem with printing on OSX 10.4.8. I use AdmitMac to print to a windows print server. I cannot print from any of our freshly built macs, but any student can.

 

I currently have 10.4.8 servers running Open Directory in the Magic Triangle arrangement with all user authentication running from Active Directory. I can print to any printer from my office, which has not been rebuilt and is running 10.4.8. I am an administrator on all macs.

 

I have tried –

Removing Administrative access from my account

Assigning the student policies though Workgroup Manager to my account

Deleting and reading all the printers

Removing all policies from my account

 

I cannot think of anything else to try, I do have permissions to these printers on the windows print server.
