I have a printer attached to this iMac and my wife has been printing to it from her iMac G5 over the Airport network.
After upgrading both machines to Leopard she can no longer print.
When printing in Tiger, the networked printer appeared in her dropdown window and all she had to do was tell it to go. That window now says "No printer Selected". Clicking on Add Printer brings up another window and lo and behold the network printer is listed right there identified as a Bonjour connection, but the windows at the bottom say "No Selection".
Click on the printer name and the little whirligig spins for a while and then up comes correct data for the printer: printer maker and model, at my computer's name, and print using the correct driver. Fine, click on "ADD".
Up pops an error pane that says "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer" and "client-error-not-authorized".
It appears that authorization is needed. From where? On my machine or her machine? How do I bring up the authorization window?
A possible related problem is this: I have an AppleScript that I got from MacWorld mag; this script stops printing. The entire script is this:
do shell script "cancel -a -"
display dialog "No more printing jobs." buttons ["OK"] default button 1
When I invoke this script an error pane comes up that says "Password for John on localhost?" and "cancel purge-jobs failed: Unauthorized".
Again with the unauthorized and no hint as to how to gain authorization.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
