Using lpadmin command on Yosemite OS

I had Applescript with LPADMIN command that worked with Apple OS, but stopped working on Yosemite (10.10).  Did not get any error, the printer always was in paused state.


 From macenterprise on Google Groups:

I'm seeing some strange cases at the university where certain users are unable to print authenticated via smb when on Yosemite.

I had just about weaned our users off of unauthenticated lpd when printing to our Windows print server in favor of smb with their credentials stored pr. printer in the keychain.

There doesn't seem to be a pattern to who it affects but there are indications that it's sandbox related (cryptic log messages and the like)

Putting the "Sandboxing relaxed" directive in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf seems to fix it for some.

Has anyone else seen problems when printing to smb printers on Yosemite?

We added "-o auth-info-required=negotiate" to our lpadmin command in the
install script we package up for students to use. This seems to have fixed
the Yosemite printing issues we've seen.

Poster in Stackoverflow suggested a fix was to add  -E  to enable at the very end, this did NOT work for me.

do shell script "/usr/sbin/lpadmin  -L '3rd-floor-library'   -o printer-is-shared=false -o Duplex=DuplexTumble -o Option1=True -p  '3rd-floor-library' -v smb://server1.cua.edu/LAW_HP9050 -P   " & quoted form of (POSIX path of myFile) as text & "  -E"

Previously I did not need the -E switch.   Adding printer via Printers and Scanners UI works fine under Yosemite, just adding it via lpadmin broke under Yosemite.

From Apple:
-E            Enables the destination and accepts jobs;
