Prinergy/Preps Printing Problem

[InvisSoul]

Using Preps v5.3.3 and Prinergy 4.1.2 and I', on an Intel Mac OS 10.6.7. Up until a last week I was able to use preps just fine but when I'm printing into Prinergy I get this error and the other I-Mac has the same OS as mine has no problems. Not sure what the problem is. I've reinstalled Workshop, Preps, deleted my preferences and still it won't work and nothing to our knowledge has changed on the network.

Here is the error:

"Could not find a particular network file share.[1007004]

If Workshop is running on a Macintosh, there may be an AppleTalk configuration problem on the server to which you are trying to connect. On an NT server, use regedit.exe to check that the AppleTalk zone is properly set. (Check the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/AppleTalk/Parameters/DesiredZone.)"

It looks as though you are not properly logged in to all needed servers. Also you would be better off connecting via SMP than afp (or Apple Talk)

[InvisSoul]

Even when I connect via SMB when I go to import my Preps files it automatically connects to the AFP server and I'm not sure why it does when I've got the shared server connected via SMB.

Any idea on what I can check?

[uwemayer]

When you log on sounds like keychain access is automatically logging in on. Either remove any logging on done by keychain or unmount those volumes manually (meaning any afp logons to the same volume), and re-logon via SMB .

[InvisSoul]

I tried deleting all my keychain access to those servers and linking the servers via SMB and saving my keychain access with those but when I got to browse files on Prinergy server or import my imposition it mounts the Prinergy drive via AFP automatically.

It kind of sounds like your server has Services For Macintosh enabled, or file shares in Prinergy Connect is enabled with AFP and not SMB, you might need to contact Kodak if you do not have a systems administrator for your servers to some how figure out your configuration dilemma, for without knowing how network is configured it is hard to say. Also if you are able to connect to SMB, make sure to relocate the folder selection, inside of Preps Preferences. Also you might want to check this area inside of preps to make sure you are targeting the correct folders. Everything in Preps needs to target the AraxiPreps Volume.

Mount the shares via computer name instead of the IP address.

I think still the problem will exist, as the LAN Ip would be same..

Forgot to mention that we have an iMAC running the same OS version and running Workshop as well and it can print Preps into Prinergy with no problems.

It does make a difference and solves a lot of these types of problems I was having. It doesn't cost anything to try it.
