Greyed out Pause / Resume Printer icons

[OldMacTech]

Hi All,

I have two lab at my school with student and teacher accounts (about 800) configured via MCX in Workgroup Manager.

They all have the same problem as mentionned in title: they cannot resume / pause printing in the print queue windows (icons are greyed out).

Can someone help me out with this one. I had the first lab set-up in 2008 and the second on in 2009. But complete reinstall of both labs and servers in summer 2009.

I still have a lot to learn on Mac... I really am stuck here...

Thank you in advance

Mike

What version of server software are you running and what is the general version of OS X that is running on the client Macs?

 

[OldMacTech]

IMac are running OSX 10.5.6 as installed last summer
Servers Original install was 10.5.6 upgrated to 10.5.8 since

do the client machines see the printer, have the printer driver installed on each client and see it in the CUPS (http://127.0.0.1:631/)?
