MacOS printing via SMB/spoolss is currently unavailable to our HP and Kyocera Push and Pull Print queues because of the raised level of authentication security which Microsoft have recommended be used to secure print servers globally.

The only available workaround at present is AirPrint or MobilePrint.

Please log a call with the IT Helpdesk with any queries you may have. We apologise for the inconvenience caused. We will continue to develop a long term resolution to this issue.

On Saturday 18th December, between 08:30-14:30, there will be no access to printing and photocopying services provided by IT, while we carry out a major server upgrade.

On Saturday 11th December, from 08:00, an update to the Kyocera printer drivers will take place. Disruption to the printing service is not expected and no customer action is required.

There may be a slight delay before the push or pull print queue is operational. Mac, Linux/Unix, CUPS, Mobile Print and HP print queue customers are not affected by this change.
