With NFS I have zero experience, and Windows users would need a special client application for that (requires a Windows Enterprise edition), if even available. The main problems with AFP, an Apple product, would be that even Apple is abandoning it, and you can’t simply browse for a share in for example Kodi/XBMC. One trick would be using another type of connection, like AFP or NFS. I’m not even going to start about the fact that it can no longer index network shares … but that’s another problm for another day … Mac OS X SMB Fix solution: SMBUp So much for the “user experience” I’ve come used to with Apple products. The Apple instructions are simple, but simply do not work, or work only on occasion. The biggest problem I’ve run into, is that it seems impossible to simply share a directory or drive on your Mac with other devices – like for example Windows computers, certain Android devices, etc. Everything I have read says it should work.Well, to be honest I’m not quite sure … for now I’ll blame Apple, either for no longer using Samba 3.0 or for creating a crappy implementation on their own and doing (seemingly) zero effort to fix issues with their implementation. The actual script uses a series of arrays with lpadmin in a for loop. The reason I want to use a script is that there are 20 printers to add on each of 30 new Macs. Notes: Printing failed because PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog() returned -30871. I did find a message in system.log that may or may not be relevant - I was using Notes to test the printer: Notes: Failed to connect (_delegate) outlet from (com_hp_psdriver_19_11_0_PDEView) to (com_hp_psdriver_19_11_0_PDEAccountingController): missing setter or instance variable The printer appears correctly in the UI but shows as paused.

This is a (segment from a) script containing my lpadmin command that doesn't work SUBNET=socket://10.20.30. To Add it through the UI I did the following:įrom Printers and Scanners I selected the IP tab.Īddress: 10.20.30.40, Protocol HP Jetdirect - Socket, Queue left blank, Name: TEST_01, Location 'Top Floor', Use -> Select software -> HP LaserJet P3010 SeriesĪfter doing this, the Printer works as expected. My problem is that when I add a printer using the Printers and Scanners UI printing works, when I add the same printer using lpadmin it doesn't.
