SYMPTOMS

When you print a document from an Apple Macintosh client computer, the print job does not print.

Additionally, you may experience both of the following symptoms:
  • The print server appears to receive the print job. However, the print job is deleted.
  • An error message that is similar to the following is logged to the application event log every time that you print a document from a Macintosh client computer: Type: Error
