Q: OSX Lion, Windows Network Printer
I upgraded to OSX Lion, the process was easy and works well.
The printers I setup with Snow Leopard on the windows network do not function anymore.
When I print the printer goes to pause immediately. Release the job, it goes to pause again.
Oddly before one could browse the network and add printers. That functionality is also gone now.
Some of the printers require authentication the previous OS would allow you to enter your windows network password.
There are other folks also complaining of the same issue. It may have to do with the SMBX that is part of the new OS.
Mac OS X (10.7)
