Those who were unsuccessful to make changes, check if you have an admin user with empty password. It’s an unfortunate way of doing it but many users probably wouldn’t mind. I should point out that it should be possible to simply remove the entire printer (definition) and then add it back again on the new URL. I guess they could have done better by at least considering that some users will want to do a few things under the hood conveniently. I do get the impression that there’s an Apple design principle to hide complexity under the hood, period. I have three PCs on my network and made the necessary printer changes in less than 10 minutes! I thought Apple computers were easier to use? Bunk! I’m dumping my Apple and going back to a PC. You should be able to log in with any Admin-type account, e.g., Chris. i tried a few different combos but no luck.

just a quick question while following your instructions, when i click Modify Printer it asks for a username and password for the site says CUPS. At least this is how it appears in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 anyway.

Even a local printer appears to have a URL (usb://blah) attached to it. If it’s a network printer, e.g., laserjet or ipp, there’s got to be a URL to get there.

What if you don’t want to point to a new URL….our new app does not require it as i suppose the driver takes care of it……not really sure….any ideas on deleting the url or pointing it where it will not mess up the printer For example, if it’s still Jet Direct but your friend is just changing its hostname, click the AppSocket/Jet Direct radio button and then click on the “Continue” button at the bottom. By default, it points to the existing setting, e.g., socket:///?bidi (or something similar).Īnyway, the solution is to choose one of the other radio button options below, either under Discovered Network Printers or Other Network Printers. Now I am using Mac OS X 10.6, and my CUPS is version 1.4.7 (it tells you when you use the browser to When I went from Administration to Modify Printer in that drop down box, the page following just gives you a list of radio buttons. Either that or my original post didn’t give enough details and my memory is worse than it’s ever been.īut then again, when I posted the original instructions, I was still using Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I just noticed now that CUPS might have changed. It used to work on my laptop, but I don’t why my friend’s laptop did not show the place he can enter the url.Īnd I can not see how I did that at first time too. Just change the URI …”Ĭool! Thank you for this information! I have been looking for this for a long time! Change the second from “Administration” to “Modify Printer”, and off you go. The top two drop down lists would say “Maintenance” and “Administration”. Administration > Manager Printers and choose the printer you want to change. I tried to enter in the “location” part, it did not work. However, today when I try to help my friend to change the url to new one, I found I forgot where is the exact place I should enter the url (smb://ooxx). I don’t think Mac are so stupid to edit the url. People told me its a only way to do that is to delete the old one and add a new one. I found this solution when I try to renew the url of our school printer. FYI this tip also works in Ubuntu 11.04 but really not needed since you can change the url address easily from the printer properties. I thought everything is supposed to be easier on the MAC. I have been so frustrated with such a simple task to change a printer IP address. I have no idea what “cups” is, but you have to wonder why they don’t let you simply change settings through the Print & Fax interface.
