[Macinsloan] How to setup printers

[John Harthorne]

Alona,

I don't think the printer issues are related to the sloannt1 server.

At the moment, it is not possible for mac users to connect to the  
sloannt1 server because it is configured to require encrypted SMB  
traffic. Encryption is not part of the standard protocol, so Apple  
doesn't support it (but Microsoft does). I have already asked the STS  
folks to change the configuration so that we can connect. They are  
thinking it over and determining whether policy permits the change.  
I'll let everyone know when they make a decision. Eventually, it will  
be the same username/password as for the other server.

I have been able to print on all the printers despite that problem.  
Are you having difficulties with one printer, or all of them?
I had accidentally sent out the wrong instructions for the Tang Lab  
printers (I think). They should be setup as LPD printers (not IP  
printers as my email suggested). If that was the only tricky printer,  
try setting it up again. If all printers are giving you trouble, let  
me know. It may be something unique to you, or it might mean that all  
of my instructions were wrong! egad.

Anyway, let me know how it goes.
