If the account you're logged into doesn't have them, then the operating system will prompt for an administrator account user name and password upon executing the scripts. Although you can add SSL's shared printers via the "System Prefernces" utility, I think you'll find using the command line scripts faster and easier. First, if you don't know which printer to add, you can view a list of available printers using smbutil: smbutil view smb://guest@ssl-print To add the printer with share name "chp317," type: bash add_lpd_printer.MacOS_X.sh chp317 To add all printers shared by ssl-print, type: bash add_printers.MacOS_X.sh If you wanted to make "chp227e" your default printer, use the lpadmin command: lpadmin -d chp227e //---------------------- // PRINT QUEUE REMOVAL //---------------------- You can remove individual print queues using the lpadmin command: lpadmin -x chp317 To remove all installed ssl-print queues from your MacBook, type: bash remove_print_queues.MacOS_X.sh
