Mac OS 10.7 Lion
In the new Mac OS 10.7 Lion some network protocols are not longer supported or were
changed, additional some changes regarding rights management for printer drivers and
there plugins.
2. Impact
1.) SMB
Apple has changed from Samba to their own SMBX.
SMBX supported SMB 1.0 , SMB 2.0 and assume Unicode
SMB Scan from Konica Minolta MFP‘s does not longer work.
2.) FTP
The GUI for the FTP server was removed, so for using Scan to FTP you have to
activate FTP Server via Terminal first.
EFI printer drivers for Mac OS 10.6 cannot be installed on Lion and are not
working. This is due to incompatibilities with the core printing system of 10.7.
1.) SMB
Please use Scan to FTP
2.) FTP
activate FTP Server via Terminal
open terminal
enter
dseditgroup -o create -n /Local/Default -u LADMIN com.apple.access_ftp

enter passwort
enter
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LauchDaemons/ftp.plist

No workaround necessary

functions. Please refer to the documentation included with the driver.
