Comment on Linux Printer Sharing With Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard by Fausto

Apple solved the problem and published the fix. I had the same problem (actually, a printer connected to a Panther on my network that I wanted to use from a Leopard), then googled “sharing printers leopard troubleshoot”. I found this on the first page of results: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275?viewlocale=en_US
It is for Apple systems older than Leopard holding printers to be used by a Leopard system on a network, but it works for all other systems.

Thanks a lot. I wonder why Apple screwed it and they didn’t publish any document to fix this problem.

Comment on Patched Ventrilo for Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard by Steffen L. Norgren

My patch only fixed a display issue with the program, it wouldn’t help you with the codec problem.

I wouldn’t doubt that the Ventrilo server you’re trying to connect to is using the GSM codec. That codec ONLY works on windows. Tell the administrator of the Ventrilo server to switch to a Speex codec so it is compatible for all users.

Sarah, I’m sorry but Ventrilo sent their lawyers after me for this patch.

The latest version of Ventrilo works and can be downloaded from their site.

Fantastic. Printing now works after months of “why on earth doesn’t this work and when will they fix it?”. Thanks!

I followed your instructions and then reinstalled the printer through System Preferences/Printers (otherwise it wouldn’t work on my iMac). However I tried to configure this printer on my PC running under Ubuntu Linux, using CUPS but it did not work.

I specified:

Internet printing protocol (http)
URI: http://my_imac_local_ip:631
Make: Generic
Model/driver: Generic Postscript Footmatic/Postscript

When I try the test page, nothing comes out (the job is pending) and the state description I get from CUPS is

stopped, accepting jobs, published.

I also tried to put the specific Make (HP LaserPrinter M1005 MFP) but it did not work either.

Any hints would be appreciated!
