Problems wireless Printing w/my new MBP. Need some help

[BaronvdB]

hi guys,

I have my HP photo smart printer plugged into my time capsule. I never had any issues printing with my last laptop (MBA) but i just got a new 13" MBP and can't print. MBP sees the printer on my time capsule via Bonjour, but when I try to add it to my printers i get a dialog box that says:

"type the name and password of a user in teh "_Ipadmin" group to allow AddPrinter to make changes."

I have no idea what the "_Ipadmin" group is and i've tried all my normal user names & passwords but it tells me they are all wrong.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Same problem

I have the same problem with a new 15"MBP 2.66GHZ connected via Ethernet! I would appreciate a hint... Is there something wrong with CUPS? Network?

I suspect that the reason could be the migration form my old MBP to the new one via the migration assistent. I have migrated document & programs...

Can anyone please help??

Thanks, Markus

it is an issue related to migration assistant

type this into terminal and replace shortname with your shortname obviously

sudo dseditgroup -o edit -n . -u shortname -p -a shortname -t user _lpadmin

type in your admin password and then return and you should be able to add the printer

*edit: in your post i see you put Ipadmin.. make sure when typing in the terminal command you spell it correctly, as it is a lower case L in lpadmin

I have experience with my HP printers a driver update nightmare always there is a Mac OSX update.
Check HP support website in case you haven't done that yet, or run an apple software update.

Wow! It worked here with Mac OS X 10.5.8 after such issue with the Xerox Docuprint N2125 Network Laser Printer - PostScript level 3

THANKS A MILLION. YOU MADE MY DAY!!!
