Can't add xws printer to MacOS Monteray

[aks163]

I found a solution - it needs to add printer as smb for use domain credentials. It is neccessary to use Advanced method of adding printer ofr that (found it on other website):

1. Go to System Preferences > Printers and Scanners > + (plus sign)

2. Right or Control-click on the space next to the Search bar and choose Customize Toolbar.

3. Drag the Advanced icon to the space above it then click Done.

4. Next, click the Toolbar’s new Advanced icon then set Type as Windows Printer via Spoolss.

5. Populate the URL field like so: smb://hostname/queue. The hostname is the Windows print server’s IP address or FQDN, and queue is the queue’s share name.

6. Populate the Name field with the queue’s share name.

7. Choose the appropriate model-specific driver with the Use drop-down bar. Alternatively, choose the Generic PostScript option to keep things simple for printers that don’t support advanced finishing options like stapling.

So i installed driver for 7020 (Xerox Print Driver 4.17.1 on MacOS Catalina), and choose it when adding printer via SMB. After i printed test document, system asked me to enter credentials. Document printed, XWS received statistics.

I tried to use universal PCL driver on MacOS - but symbols was printed much better if i choose Xerox c7020 driver.

Thank you for answers and help with this problem!

Hi,

With LPR printing, there is no login or credential entry.  The workstation should use the identity of the logged on user of the Mac as the submitter in the LPR protocol.  For example, let's say I'm logged in as "tsmith" (local user account).  That's what should come across in the LPR protocol.  That same user must exist in the XWS user database either.  Either the "User Name" or "Alternate Access Card User" field.

I'm not certain what is going on with the "local user (ip address of mac)" issue.  I have not seen that previously.

Hello! Thanks for answer!

I add XWS shared network printer as LPD printer on Macos using address (domain name) and queue (name of shared printer), driver - universal PCL. Printer is ok, document goes to print, but where i need to enter credetials?

In C:\ProgramData\Xerox\XMP\CompatibleJobTickets\Jobs\Processing\ i see a new folder of new job, but in the file JobSpec.xml owner is look like "local user (ip address of mac)". So there are not that user in XWS-system and i cant authorize it to print. I need to enter domain name user, who will be used as owner. How can i do it?

The recommonded method to print using a Mac is to set define a printer (on the Mac) that points to the XWS shared network queue on a print server.  Use the LPR protocol, providing the IP Address of Print Server and the Shared Name as the LPQ name.
