6 Enabling HTTPS printing This chapter explains how you can enable secure printing via the internet with https. This requires a few commands in a terminal session. Be sure you are logged in as administrator. You need to do this only once. Step 5.1 Open “Terminal” (located in Applications>Utitilites->Terminal) and type:
cd /usr/libexec/cups/backend↵
Step 5.2 Specify https printing. Type:
sudo ln -s ipp https↵
Step 5.3 The system requests your password. Type the password you used when you installed your Mac (same as the one you use for installing updates):
PASSWORD
Step 5.4 Restart the CUPS Printing-service by typing:
sudo killall cupsd↵
↵
sudo cupsd↵
Step 5.5 Quit the terminal

7 Avoiding that a printer unexpectedly pauses You may experience that a printer unexpectedly pauses (status: “stopped”). The steps described below prevent this undesired behaviour. Detecting a printer that is paused:
Step 5.1 Start by checking the printer settings: Open a terminal window and type:
sudo cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
Step 5.2 Should the system request your password then type it:
PASSWORD
↵
↵
The system now lists all printer settings (see image)
Step 5.3 Find the printer’s name:
Look for the part that holds the settings of the just configured printer. In the example this part starts with: “
” and ends with: “”. In this example the printer name is “www_ricohmyprint_nl”. In the

remainder of this description we refer to this name as PRINTERNAME. Step 5.4 Update the setting:
sudo lpadmin -p PRINTERNAME -o printer-errorpolicy=abort-job
↵
In our example we would type: sudo lpadmin -p www_ricohmyprint_nl -o printer-errorpolicy=abort-job
↵
Step 5.5 You may want to verify that the changes are accepted. Type again:
sudo cat /etc/cups/printers.conf↵
And verify that the part “ErrorPolicy stopprinter” is changed into: “ErrorPolicy abort-job”
The printer will not fall anymore in the pause state.
