Air Print for iOS5

[CHR1S]

So we now have a working solution for air print ...again.

 

Stop Airprint service (if installed)

 

sc.exe delete Airprint

 

At the command line type the following 2 commands:

 

sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "C:\Program Files\AirPrint\airprint.exe -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto

 

sc.exe start Airprint

 

I can now see my shared printers, but, they all have locks on them.

 

I did have a lock on the printer when viewed via my iOS5 device so I activated my Guest Accounts (see below). Then I stopped and restarted the AirPrint under Services (Control Panel/Administrative Tools?Services/Airprint) and Voila!

 

To see how to activate Guest Accounts see Guest Account - Turn On or Off - Windows 7 Forums

 

This is where I cant get this to work with Server 2003. Anyone think of which account you would enable for guest access in a domain environment to allow unauthenticated printing?

Have you shared the printer?

Try creating a new user "print" and authenticating using that ?

[CHR1S]

Yes the printer is shared, lol

Thats the thing, you cant authenticate in iOS5 like you could previously, hence why you need an account that uses no authentication (i.e guest)

I am sure there is a GP setting for this, I am trying to remember where...

[ZeroHour]

Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users I think is the setting.

Then you just add everyone with rights to the queue.

Computer Config->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options

Just restarting the print server, will see if it helps.

 

 

As you can see, printers are there, just locked

[CHR1S]

No luck still show as locked

[CHR1S]

Bump, still stuck with this.

 

Anyone had any luck?
