App To Printing On Windows Server Mac

With the Windows system now set up to share using LPD, configure your Mac to connect to it by following these instructions: Open the Print & Scan system preferences and add a new printer.

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.

  1. Printers are configured on a brand new Windows Server 2012 R2 print server. Printers are installed on the Mac from their shared instance from the print server, drivers used are from the latest HP and Ricoh driver packages on Apple's support site. (HP Laserjet 9050, Ricoh Aficio C430dn) When users log into the Mac and print to these printers, it.
  2. If the printer you want isn’t available, you can add one. See Add a printer on Mac. If you see an icon next to the printer you want to use, there may be an issue you need to resolve—see Check a printer’s status from Mac. Presets: A preset is a group of print settings. In most cases you can use the default settings, but you can also choose.


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.
