If I add the printer locally, by adding a new TCP/IP port at the IP address of the printer, and use the same driver that I put on the server, it works perfectly even with Dept ID/PIN enabled. nothing is greyed out) but it still does not verify the Dept ID/PIN. When I log into the workstation as a domain admin, all the driver options become available again (i.e. I noticed that many of the options in the driver were greyed out on the workstation, so I thought it might have been an account permissions thing. However, it does not appear to have helped in this situation.
Apparently this is required for the Dept ID stuff to work. As it turns out, although not everything Silverlight works. That page has a link to the actual download page for the Firefox plugin. Although just version 1 at this point, its at least something to dig into.

If Department ID/PIN is enabled, I am forced to enter a dept ID at the workstation and then it fails to verify the ID/PIN and the job is cancelled.Ī Google search led me to install the Canon Driver Information Assist Service on the server. After a very, very long time, the Linux Silverlight implementation is available to the public for release. I can happily print from the server, even with Department ID/PIN enabled, but I can only print from the workstation as long as I have Department ID/PIN disabled in the drivers settings on the server. I have managed to get the printer deployed using Group Policy and it appears on my workstation. I have added the Print Server role to the new server, downloaded the driver and added the printer. The printer is a Canon imageRUNNER Advance C2520. One of the last things that I need to do is move the Head Office copier/printer across the the new server. I am well along the path and getting near to be able to completely decommission the old server. According to the official description of the technology, Moonlight is nothing more than the open source implementation of Silverlight, tailored for UNIX systems. I am migrating from an SBS 2003 server to Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host with multiple Server 2012 R2 VMs. picture The equivalent of Microsoft’s Silverlight but for Linux operating systems is available for download as of May 13, 2008, under the label Moonlight.
