Blueprint Bluetooth Printer Driver

[Landers Piechotka]

AirPrintis a technology built into most popular printer models, including those listed here. With AirPrint technology, it's easy to print full-quality photos and documents from your Apple device. AirPrint features include easy discovery, automatic media selection, and enterprise-class finishing options.

The printers, print servers, and USB-only devices listed here are provided by each manufacturer and updated regularly by Apple. If you don't see your model, check with the manufacturer for more information.

To use AirPrint, you don't need to install an app, additional drivers, or other software. Just connect the AirPrint printer to your Wi-Fi network, then choose it in the print dialog when you print from your Mac or print from your iPhone or iPad, for example.

Similar to AirPrint printers, these USB devices allow you to print or scan without having to install additional drivers. Because they require a USB connection, they support driverless printing or scanning only from Mac computers.

I am using MacOS Sonoma 14.0 at a Macbook Pro M1 and trying to print to our print server using smb. It worked in Ventura, but now the printer jobs will stay "on hold" with the option to authenticate. When i write my credentials it will still stay "on hold" on printing. It seems that this issue also is not been fixed in MacOSX Sonoma 14.1 Beta3. I know it is a workaround with using IPP, but this protocol is block in the firewall at work for security reason. This means that i have to get printing to work by using smb. I hope Apple will fix this problem in MacOS Sonoma 14.1 Beta4 or in a new MacOS Sonoma 14.1.

I installed the update on a mac that has this printer isse and it works now :-)I had to remove the printer and the password for pinter queue stored in Apple Keychain.Then i had to write the smb line for the printer with username@printer-address, choose driver and print a document.Then i had to write my credentials and it worked :-)

Same here using PlanetPress SMB workflow, it shows green, but will goto pause. I could usually remove the password from the keychain and then it would work again, no such luck in 14.0 and today the same with 14.1. Really? Apple supports SMB for file sharing for years. But I can mount the SMB Hot folders and drop the PDF file and it works. Since we have multiple workflows we do add the printers using workgroup and add right from there. If you remove the printer and add again. When you try to print, Print Center says "Printer Not Found" Even though it is green in the print center. HELP!

@Rune_Andresen-Breivang_VGS : Thanks a lot, your note about using a printer URL in the form of smb://username@printer-address pointed me into the right direction - Sonoma seems to have lost its multi-domain support with SMB printing! I can confirm, that Sonoma 14.1 works at our site now, when users authenticate with username instead of domain\username as they used to do pre-Sonoma. Note, that this works without the username@printer-address hack you proposed (i.e. we simply use smb://printer-address/queuename). But we are just lucky that it works for us, since the print server is only aware of one domain. If you have domain trusts in place you might be out of luck.

I encountered a similar problem : unable to print on a HP Laser Jet 3010 (purchased in 2014) from brand new MacBookPro with Sonoma 14.1.2. Printer queue is stopped and refuse to resume. I checked all securities and firewall settings. Finally, I solved this problem when I installed Rosetta. I reboot the MacBookPro and recreate the printer. It prints now. ;)

I have tried with "smb://username@printer-address" and it did not work for me. What worked, adding "?encryption=no" at the and of queue name:"smb://printer-address/queuename?encryption=no"After that, normal authentication "domain\username" worked.

I followed this thread now about 2 months and had the same problem in our company. We've helped us by temporarily joining the MacBooks into the domain (normally we use them as local non-domain clients in our Windows-Server-Environment) - then printing didn't run into the annoying issue prescribed. I'm happy that Apple has finally solved the case with the newest BETA 14.3 (23D5043d) for macOS Sonoma - with this version I'm now ready to print again normally without any changes (encryption / username and all the mentioned things above) ... Let's see when Apple will get this new behaviour into the official update for everybody.

@Rune_Andresen-Breivang_VGS I have problems with Sonoma when I send something from Pronterface to the Anycubic Vyper 3D printer. Does it go into the plate at the beginning when calibrating, are the terminal commands you mentioned also the solution to my problems?

We have recently purchased three new workstations that came with Windows 11 Pro. These are our first Windows 11 machines in our company, as almost everything else is Windows 10. Recently, the users on two of the Windows 11 workstations tried to add a printer from our Print Server, and could not add the printer. Once I logged in, I also attempted to install the printer, but had no luck. I can go through the normal dialog in Settings -> Bluetooth & Devices -> Printers & Scanners -> Add a Printer or Scanner, but once I attempt to print a test page, it won't, and when I hit the "Finish" button, the dialog closes out but does not install the printer; the printer is not listed in the list of installed printers. There is no error that pops up, and I do not see any new errors in Event Viewer.

I have also attempted to add the printer using the old "Devices and Printers" module from the old Control Panel, but I still experience the same issue (dialog acts like it installs the printer, but does not). I have also attempted to install the printer by IP address instead of from the directory, but still experience the same results; the only difference is that when I attempt to install by IP address, I have to manually select the driver (which appears to be available), but it still does not install the printer.

I am currently at a loss, considering that Windows 11 is the most current version of Windows that theoretically should have the most support. Everything that I have found online conncerning print issue with Windows 11 gives me pause to purchase any new Windows 11 computers, as well as allow any current systems to upgrade to Windows 11. While in the eyes of Microsoft, I imagine that my installation profile (100+ workstations across three locations) is somewhat minor; I also feel that my installation profile isn't that uncommon, nor are my issues with adding printers. I'm hoping I can get an answer or solution from Microsoft itself or the community; in fact, I was informed by a community moderator to repost this question here, instead of the Microsoft Community forums. Any help or direction towards a solution would be greatly appreciated.

This worked for me up to the point where my Canon printer ImageClass model was not listed on the updated printer device list. So, I loaded the driver for the Image Class model closest to my model, and it worked. In this case, I downloaded the driver for an LBP611/612 when I actually have an LBP631/632.

When you have made sure the printer is well-plugged, there is paper in the printer tray and your printer has not run out of ink or toner cartridge, Troubleshooting is most likely to solve the general software issues.

All you have to do is open Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. Here, you will find the Printer troubleshooter among the list of Windows troubleshooters. Click on the Run button next to it to activate it. If there are any problems impeding your printing process, the troubleshooter will show you how to fix it.

Right-click the Start Menu button and select Device Manager from the list.

Scroll down and expand the Print Queues menu.

Right-click on Microsoft Print to PDF and select Update driver. This prompt will open another window.

Selecting Search automatically for updated driver software in Windows 11 runs a check through your PC for updates. If it shows the best device driver already installed, you can still give the manual option a try. To do this:

Right-click Microsoft Print to PDF and select Properties from the drop-down menu.

Go to the Details panel.

Select Device instance path from the drop-down list under Property and then copy the Value that appears.

Go to the DriverPack database.

Paste the copied value in the search box, download a suitable driver and then install it.
