Remote printing problem – fix

If you are getting this error message “Unable to get printer status (forbidden)” you may be able to fix this easily.

  1. Open Printer Setup Utility, located in Applications/Utilities.Unable to get printer status (forbidden)
  2. Go to the “Printer Setup Utility” menu at the top of the screen and select “Reset Printing System”
  3. Go to the “Printer Setup Utility” menu at the top of the screen and select “Reset Printing System”

This solution comes from a MacFixIt tutorial “Resolving common printer problems” which deserves a bookmark, in my opinion.
