Network Printers on Mac's

[alexpuk2002]

Hi,

 

We have been having some issues with our network printers that are connected to our Mac's.

 

We have added the printers on our Mountain Lion server by using the IP address and selecting the HP Jet Direct option. (The printer is an HP Colour 3505n)

 

We then use workgroup manager to assign the printer to students and staff.

 

This was working well for students but the iMac that the teacher uses wouldn't print at all. I tried under various logins but that still didnt solve the problem. Now we seem to be having issues where other iMac's in the class are having problems printing.

 

I was wondering how do others set up printers on their Mac's and if there is another way that would work better

Have you added the specific print driver to the Mac server, or just a generic one?
