Mac printing issues

[John Oliver]

This is on an iMac, 10.7.5 "Lion" with all updates applied. http://localhost:631 reports cups 1.5.4

I added a printer attached to a remote host with lpadmin:

lpadmin -p Xerox_Phaser_6700DN___stop -v dnssd://Phaser%206700DN%20%40%20stop._ipp._tcp.local./ -L "Phaser 6700DN on stop" -E

I can echo test | lp -d Xerox_Phaser_6700DN___stop and a page comes out. (The printer really wants to use tray 1, which is a manual feed, instead of Tray 2 which is a regular tray when I do this, and I don't know if that's a printer issue or if I need to dig in with lpoptions or something)

This printer does not show up in Print & Scan, nor is it an option in any application. It shows up just fine with lpstat Also:

flamingo:~ joliver$ lpoptions -p Xerox_Phaser_6700DN___stop -l
lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for Xerox_Phaser_6700DN___stop: Not Found

This printer also shows up in my cups web page as a "Local Raw Printer" I'm guessing it did not suck down a PPD file like it would have if I'd used the + in Print & Scan. But I want this scripted. Any assistance appreciated!

John,

Shared printers without local PPDs are not supported on OS X, mostly because of App sandboxing. You need to add the shared printer using the usual GUI methods...
