Dear Friends,
I am working in a higher ED IT shop that is primarily Windows based. In an attempt to implement a pay-for print system we need to have SMB based printing working on our Macs. Under Tiger we have been able to use this syntax to create a queue:
smb://domain/username:password@server/share
Thus creates the problem, the queue is “bound” to that user. When a new user logs in using the Active Directory plug-in jobs are still sent from the user who created the queue instead of the user who really sent the job. This makes it impossible to accurately implement pay-for-print.
How might this be corrected? Is there a better way to create this queue or is there a simple script we could implement that would add the printer after log-in? None of us have much experience with UNIX scripting so a sample would be exceptionally helpful!
Thanks in advance!
Peace, Love, & Understanding,
