[Casper] MacBook Air (MBA)- Printing Issues

[Cyrus Vahhaji]

Steve, Nathaniel,

Thanx for your input. Not sure if I shared this...re-imaged using the image
created on a MBP and printing worked fine on the newly re-build MBA. As it
stands though I¹m not comfortable using my MBP image on MBA so created a
separate image on MBA using installers that came with it.

I also contacted JAMF Support regarding this issue and Sam came up with a
great idea. Create the printer on an MBA that printing works on and add it
to JSS and then add the printer using JSS. This worked just fine on the MBA
which I couldn¹t print from. A good temporary work around since I¹ll be
reimaging my MBA with the new image.

Thanx again,
Cyrsu

If memory serves me, you cannot use anything but the MBA retail disk to do
the install.  There are some differences in the MBA and other devices.  So,
you have to have a separate image for your MBA and MBP.

I have MBAs here, and I use the MBA drop in disk to do the installs.
