er, that's what I meant for you to do
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.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ND, you are cool people! thanks. I can't figure out this software, but I'll try again this weekend when I have more patience.

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 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.
I'll give it a look tomorrow. Thanks.

Not a clue. This job is my first time using a Mac since highschool, much less supporting them.
Honestly, the local Mac "expert" is probably closer to "competent", but he knows more than anyone else on the IT staff. And since we've only got about 50 Macs out of 1500 computers, my focus has been more on getting up to speed on how the company does things on the PC side with only the occaisional side trip into Mac territory. This issue just ended up being a major speedbump for me in the printer migration project.
I will ask about the Dave thing, though, when I get a chance.

Coding and Sleeping
I think the command smbstatus will show you printer connections to Windows machines as well. I don't have a Mac, but Windows connectivity and printing should all be the same as my Kubuntu machine.
