A fix for error 1282 when adding a printer
Authored by: gkk on Mar 30, '04 07:51:58PM

Instead of monkeying around with the dozen or so UNIX commands, we created a script and packaged it, so even your end-users can just double-click on the package and fix this printer problem.

Caveat... we created this for use here at U of Michigan, so we can't guarantee that it will work in your environment. Please be sure to read the README in the .pkg file, and the LICENSE disclaimer. Thanks to Apple and everybody here to tipped us to this fix!

Authored by: pesiho on Apr 27, '04 08:53:45AM

I have this problem : error1282 when trying to add a printer. I did the steps described in the thread (like create a new folder /var/spool/cups, with a tmp folder in it) but i still have that same error.

Anybody can help me ??

I too am still getting the 1282 error message and I tried everything, except getting the files from another computer which just isn't an option for me right now. I tried the first thing on this string [sudo rm cups] and it told me cups is a directory and didn't seem to remove it.

A fix for error 1282 when adding a printer

I too was still getting issues after the posted fix in 10.2.8. The Apple and MacOSXHints work flow is correct only I had to add one step near the end. Apparently the printer SW is expecting a tmp folder inside the cups folder. So perform the steps as outlined earlier. Then go into the cups directory and:

sudo mkdir tmp

and it started to work. Hope this helps someone...

I read more carefully one of the entries above, and they did state to go into cups and make a tmp directory. Something the official Apple document neglected to mention. So follow those steps and things should be good.
