Apple Mac OS X Server (Administrator’s Guide) - Manual (Page 321)

Print Service 321
You’ll probably need to change the queue name if users who print to your queues have
restrictions on printer names they can use. For example, some LPR clients do not support
names that contain spaces, and some Windows clients restrict names to 12 characters.
Queue names shared via LPR or SMB should not contain characters other than A – Z, a – z,
0 – 9, and “_” (underscore).
AppleTalk queue names cannot be longer than 32 bytes (which may be fewer than 32 typed
characters). Note that the queue name is encoded according to the language used on the
server and may not be readable on client computers using another language.
5 Select the protocols used for printing by your client computers.
If you select “Windows printing (SMB),” make sure Windows services are running.
See “Starting Windows Services” on page 240.
6 If you want to add the queue to a shared Open Directory domain, choose a shared domain
from the pop-up menu, then enter the user name and password for the administrator of the
server on which the domain resides.
This allows users of Mac OS X computers configured to access the domain to print to the
queue by choosing it from the Directory Services printer list in Print Center (rather than
having to manually enter the LPR print host and queue name).
Note: After sharing a print queue in an Open Directory domain, do not try to add the queue
from the Directory Services list to your server.
7 Choose the default job priority for new print jobs in this queue.
8 Select Hold to postpone printing all new jobs that arrive in the queue. Specify a time of day
to print the jobs, or choose to postpone printing indefinitely.
9 Select “Enforce print quotas” if you want to enforce the user print quotas for the printer.
Adding Print Queues to Shared Open Directory Domains
If you add a print queue to a shared Open Directory domain, users of Mac OS X computers
that are configured to access the domain can print to the queue by choosing it from the
Directory Services printer list in Print Center (rather than having to manually enter the LPR
print host and screen name).
To add a print queue to a shared Open Directory domain:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Print and choose Show Print Monitor.
3 Select the queue you want to add and click Edit.
4 Choose a shared domain from the “Share LPR Queue in Domain” pop-up menu. Enter the
user name and password for the administrator of the server on which the domain resides.
