All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Nesting didn't work either.

Ooooh. I may have it. Add to Library, select folder. Things are showing up in the library. Once it's done processing the nearly 6000 tracks I'll be able to see if I've lost playlists, ratings and comments.

er, that's what I meant for you to do, but I didn't explain it well or clearly. sorry, aurelia, but I'm glad you figured it out.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I need some Mac (sort of) help.

New job has both PCs and Macs (running Tiger), both platforms printing off one of two Windows print servers (the Macs have DAVE 6.2 installed to help with this) . One of those print servers is going away soon and we need to migrate everyone on it to the new server. How the frak do I find what server a Mac is printing from? (The queues are duplicated on each server, so the queue name doesn't help any.).

In Windows you just have to open up Printers and Faxes and each printer tells you in the name what server its connected to. I've checked every frickin' place I can think of on the Macs we have and can't find any indicator and my Google-fu is apparently too weak. I'd really rather not have to remove and remap all the printers on our 30-something Macs "Just in case" they're on the wrong server.

Any thoughts?

It didn't do quite what I was trying to do. It copied all the files to the hard drive. It's fine for now. If I start running into memory issues I'll have to try again.

le nubian, did you get a Joost invite? If not I can set you up with one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think you can edit the /etc/cups/printers.conf file, although I've never had to edit that file directly on a Mac. At the very least, you can look at that file and see what server the printers are pointed at.

ND, I didn't get one! I would love it if you could hook a buffista up.

You should now have one headed your way.

All is well that ends in pizza.

(the Macs have DAVE 6.2 installed to help with this)

Why are they using Dave? Macs running OSX can recognize and print directly to Windows printers on a network.

Maybe the mystery comes from the Dave connection?

I'll check my Tiger Mac when I get home.
