Trouble printing from remote outq

Cheewing — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 17:34:12 +0000

I setup a remote outq to a HP3500 printer. But it will not print any report I sent. It only prints the user and host name on the upper left corner of the paper

Remote printer service pose security risk?

RanaSarkar — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 07:08:27 +0000

The IT auditors have pointed some of my boxes (SUSE, Solaris 10 and AIX) have [strong]remote printer service[/strong] running and that is a potent security violation. I am confused what is remote printer service and how do I disable the same. I need the help. A prompt response is appreciable.

Windows 7 driver for remote printer

Lanczar — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:50:04 +0000

I have an HP7600 printer on a remote share running XP. The laptop running Win7, connects to the remote share, recognizes the printer as a HP7600 but cannot find the built in Windows 7 driver and asks for an .inf file.

If I hook up the printer directly to the WIN7 usb port, it installs fine.

How do I get the Win7 machine to pop up the printer selection dialog after it finds the printer, OR if I install the printer locally on the USB port, how do I redirect the port to the printer share?

How to I block RDC printer mapping?

We have a Windows 2003 Standard SP2 server that we remote into. This server runs reports that pull it’s formating in from the default printer setting. When we remote in, the default printer gets mapped to the client. that thorws the report format off. I want to either stop that, via a reg setting on the client, or server. We have Terminal server running, but I am am not sure as to how to block it from mapping to the remote users printer. To be clear, stopping all remote client printer mapping viz RDC is fine, we dont use that function. We run XP pro SP3 or Windows 7.

Print to local network from remote server via RDP

I am connecting to a Win2003 server machine via RDP.

I need to be able to print to my local (networked) printers.

I am currently using a NET USE shell hack consisting of multiple printer profiles, some shared, some not etc. It works, but is hardly easy to maintain and is far from elegant.

Thank you in advance for your help.

The report generated in one server in RDY status is printer routed to remote printer. But I want the report to be HLD status in the remote printer.

Remote Printing Problem

DLM2007 — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 20:43:54 +0000

I have a site in Wisconsin (we’re in New Jersey) that can connect to our AS/400 via emulation with no problem. When I create outq with the correct IP address all I receive for the 1 page sample is the status hanging at ‘SND’. We have a site in Illinois with the exact same problem. I see no errors, but no print outs either.

We have 2 HP 2430tn printers here configured the same way (different ip addresses of course) and both work perfectly. It was my attempt to memic the logic from the 2 HP 2430tn printer to work at both site, but no luck up to this point. H-E-L-P.

Thank You,

I need to get some help with the QTLPD jobs that are running on our system. We seem to have too many of them and I an not sure how they get started and what stops them. Also, there are some that have been running for months and I think that they should be ended, just not sure what the impact would be.
