Shared Printer Isn't Working

Shared Printer Isn't Working

Hi. I have a Xserve G5 that I recently purchased to be a iTunes Movie and print Server. The iTunes Server is working fine, but the shared printer is not showing up on my network, besides on the computer itself. I have tried printing directly from the Server, and it works fine. In case this would help, heres my info:

-MacBook 13" Core 2 Duo as main client running Lion

-XServe G5 running 10.4.11 Server as server

-Cannon PIXMA IP4000

I know that is is on my network, as I can SSH into it and screen share.

Any Help Would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 🙂

Xserve, OS X Server, 10.4.11 Server on Xserve G5

It's going to be difficult to help as you've provided no details on how you've set up the Print Service on your server.

Hi. I don't know exactly what you mean, but I think I do, so I'll try to describe it and send some screenshots. Under server admin on OSX Server 10.4, I went under the Print tab:

Then from there, I just chose my printer from the list, which worked fine printing from the computer itself. Then I started the service. If you need anymore information, please reply. Thanks! 🙂
