- The latest version of WePrint Server is 3.1 on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for Device Assistants in the System Tools category. The app is developed by EuroSmartz Ltd and its user rating is 4 out of 5.
- We have just installed a wireless network that works great. There should be similar software that will allow the Mac to print to it as well. I know that Linksys has a USB print-server.
- (If you switched from using a Windows computer to a Mac, using Printers & Scanners preferences is similar to using the Printing control panel in Windows.) In most cases, when you add a printer, macOS uses AirPrint to connect to the printer or automatically downloads the.
So, the answer to this is no. But a more round-about answer is sort of (as far as driver delivery and config), depending on your infrastructure.
When working in a PC and MAC mixed invironment, there is an increasing need to print from a Windows connected Printer from a MAC. This article gives the basic steps of setting up the PC, sharing the printer on the network and then connecting to the printer from the MAC.
Ok, base answer. There is no 'print server' in OS X Server any more. Instead, you can add printers to the server and share them using system preferences. But if they are network printers (or AirPrint printers) they are already broadcasting on the network so resharing them will only result in multiple broadcast queues. Likewise, OS X and Server alone can not 'deliver' print drivers to devices.
Now, there are products that can accomplish this. For example, you can look at something as simple as Apple Remote Desktop. Now, the process would still be manual in that you would have to push the drivers to the device and you would have to have credentials for the device. So if these are not devices owned by you that is likely not going to work. If you have a fleet of devices, JAMF is a great solution as all software can be delivered dynamically and transparently to the end user. But, that is really for environments over 50 devices.
But, all that said, if you have a device that is not configured to the printer and you select the printer, is the device able to find the driver in Apple's software repository? For small deployments where you may not control the individual systems, that is likely the easiest way.
Or, you can place the drivers and a configuration script on a file share.

I have a Brother HL-L2320D series printer.
I have these packages installed (on arch):
my cupsd.conf:
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
I don't know if I need this, but on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … er_sharing it told me that I might have to do this
/etc/systemd/system/org.cups.cupsd.socket.d/override.conf
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Socket]
ListenStream=631
We Print Server For Mac Windows 7
so my /etc/systemd/system/org.cups.cupsd.socket.d/override.conf
I have started org.cups.cupsd.service as well
on the cups admin page (http://localhost:631/admin) I have selected the boxes
and
and I dont have a firewall up and running
but when I do have it enabled
Print Server Software
on windows I was able to add a connection to this print server by adding a printer with the name (url) and print fine
on mac I was able to add a connection to this print server my adding a printer with the name (url)
We Print Server For Mac Shortcut
or with
both of them connect but whenever I try to print anything on mac i get
but nothing ever prints
on the cups printers page (http://localhost:631/printers/hll2320d) i get
I can print fine on windows and on linux(the pc hosting the ipp server), but not on mac. What am I doing wrong?
