It pains me deeply to even be in a position to ask this question, but there I am.

I can create the CUPS queue on the OS X client. When I print to the queue, it prompts me for ID and password. The print job is sent to the Windows print server. Then it disappears, but not without a trace. Which led me to this article:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/0e72ba1d-8c80-4e76-88a7-8d48335f78d5/windows-server-2012-printing-error?forum=winserverprint

Apparently, the format of print jobs from OS X is incompatible with Microsoft's Version 4 print drivers.

My understanding is that Version 4 drivers address many of the problems associated with running a Windows print server. I am not willing to revert to Version 3 drivers. If necessary, I will implement a separate solution (probably IPPS via Linux CUPS) for OS X. I suspect IPPS to Windows would result in the same Version 4 driver problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yours,
-Rick
