Q: OSX Server 10.7 work group manager duplicating printers is OSX 10.7 MBP 15"

Hello Everyone,

 

I run the mac environment for a K-12 school. We use open directory and work group manager to manage the environment. Its always worked great up until we got our new Macbook Pros, and now our managed printers are duplicating everytime a network user logs in.

 

Its crazy. 3 logins has resulted in 9 printers being pushed to the machine. Any ideas?

 

OSX Server build 11g63 managing Client OSX Build 11g63b.

 

Regards,

Carl

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 10.7.5 across all systems

    I think I resolved the issue by deleting the offending printers off the xserve and re-adding them 1 at a time.

     

    Then i opened up OD/WGM and added the printers to the managed printers list 1 at a time. I'd add one, login to the client machine 3 times to make sure it stopped replicating, and move on to the next printer.
