Direct printing, disable queuing of print jobs

I have some label printers that are connected to touch screen macs that we use for checking people in, setup like a kiosk. I would like to have it print directly to the printer without them being queued up on the mac. When the labels run out or jam, dozens of jobs get stuck in the queue, and you can't tell it by looking at the computer (dock is hidden). My preference is that when that happens, the computer would instead of adding to the backed up queue, it would hang on the print job and would not allow any more activity on the computer until the printer was attended to. So what I am asking is: Is there a way like in the "old days" of mac, is to directly print to a printer without it going to the queue first?

Short answer - no.

I need to attach a printer command (PCL) to all jobs from a print queue

We're running NW5.1 SP1a, and I want to send a PCL command to the
printer before all print jobs come from a certain queue. The purpose of
this is so that the DOS-based program that prints to LPT3 will print
from tray 2 of our networked laser printer. I have the PCL command I
need, and if I put it at the beginning of a doucment and then print it
from the DOS program, it will come from the correct tray.
BTW, this program is run from machines running DOS 6.22, Windows 98,
and XP. Some of the DOS boxes do a network boot from floppy, so doing
something with printer drivers on each machine is not an option. Since
they all capture the same print queues, all it would take is to be able
to send the PCL command to the printer with every job. Surely this is
possible?
Thanks!

Thank you for your help. I finally figured out what the problem was.
None of the printer definitions were visible to me when creating print
job configurations. I finally figured out what you do to import them.
Now I can attach them to my print job configuration. Yay!
I must have had some problem with the search queries I was using,
because I never could find out how to create print device definitions.
I have a couple of books here, but all they say is useless stuff like
"Print device definitions are created using the Administrator Console."
Thanks to the page of the documentation you linked to (and searching
from that section of the documentation and then following the
resulting links), I found out exactly what to do with the Administrator
Console to create/define print configurations. Now I can create a
complete print job. Yee-haw!
BTW, I have no problem RTFM-ing as long as I have the right FM to R.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!
James
P.S--For what it's worth, although initially a bit counterintuitive for
someone whose primary background is Microsoft-based, the more I delve
into Netware, the better I like it. It makes the MS methodology seem
like a bunch of ugly hacks held together with the software equivalents
of bailing wire and duct tape.

Printer doesn't finish printing when multiple jobs in queue

I have a Laserjet 2200D that connected to a computer running 10.4.11 over USB and prints just fine when I only have one print job in queue. The issue comes up when I have multiple print jobs going to this printer, the printer will actually stop the current job it's printing and start the next job, but not finish the previous print job. If I start to line up print jobs in queue, it will only print some of the pages and then proceed to print the next job, but the previous job is already out of the queue and gone. What could possibly be wrong?

No, it shouldn't. But it also wasn't necessary to install any drivers. That's why you should reinstall the Canon drivers from the Leopard dvd.
The reason I installed the drivers is I first was trying to print wirelessly like I did with my old ibook G4 without any problems. When I couldn't get the shared printer to show up, I then read the documentation from apple tells you to make sure both computers are running the same drivers. So I installed the newest drivers which are for leopard from canon's site, but still no luck. The driver from Canon has the same version number as the one listed in the leopard documentation, so it shouldn't matter.

One print queue for each job?

We have customer jobs that last for a year or so. We have a networked HP printer. Is it possible to set up multiple print queues for this same printer, so that we can keep track of which print jobs should be charged to each customer? I can set up a new print queue connected to the printer (although with "Kind" as "Generic PostScript Printer" instead of the printer model) and then I can print to it from the server; and it shows up in the printer list on the client stations (although with a diamond next to it), but when I select it in the Print dialog on the client station I get a spinning beachball and have to force quit e.g. Word. Is this an impossibility, or is there a way to do it?

At AUC, Dov Issacs posted:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Beginning with Windows Vista (and also true for Windows 7), the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance must have its Advanced=>Spool Print Documents ... setting to Start printing immediately instead of either of the other settings. The other settings will yield the behaviour that you describe.
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=23380
The "Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver" would be the "Adobe Printer".
Perhaps a tweak to your installed Adobe Printer to reflect Dov's guidance will resolve the issue.
Be well...

Print jobs won't automatically drop from the print queue after printing

I just bought an Envy 7640. When printing multiple documents, the first print job hangs in the queue after it prints, which prevents subsequent jobs from printing. The first job continues to show a status of Printing after it prints the job. I have to manually go into the queue and cancel the finished job before the next job in the queue will print. Having to clear the queue manually each time a print job finishes is not an acceptable fix to the problem. How can I get the printer to automatically delete the print job after it prints like it's supposed to do?

Thank you for your reply. The steps that you sent are for print jobs that you cannot delete from the queue. I also found those instructions earlier, however, it doesn't apply to the problem I'm having with my printer. I don't have a problem deleting print jobs from the queue. As my previous post stated, when I print multiple documents, the first document prints but it stays in the queue with a status of Printing. Because it stays in the queue with the Printing status, it prevents the second and subsequent documents from printing. My problem is that I have to go to the queue after every single job prints and delete it from the queue to allow the next document to print. It's ridiculous to have to delete every job from the queue after it prints. The printer should automatically delete the job after it prints it, and then print the next job in the queue. How can I make the printer delete a job automatically after it prints it?? Can you please give me a resolution to this problem? Thank you.

How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi. How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share? I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up. I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
Thanks,
KMQ7

This would really be the "Holy Grail" right now. I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application. In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment. For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link

I have the same printer, P1005, and hae been using it with Tiger (PPC), Leopard (PPC and intel), snow Leopard and Lion. What I do know is that it DOES HAVE print bugs in Tiger and, perhaps, Leopard, I had to ALWAYS manually delete print jobs after EVERY print as system did not clean memory. I reported this to Apple, but it seems to be a printer driver issue, unsolved by HP. It was solved in subsequent systems. So, my suggestion is to upgrade to Snow Leopard at least, as you have a core 2 duo 2006 MB, or directly to Lion as most recent, and best fit with printer drivers. You must put at least 2 GB of memory for SL and Lion, best is 4 GB (your model may support 3 GB only if the first core 2 duo series).
Until then, clean printing system by clicking minus button in sys prefs/print.
download last HP printer driver for Tiger,check with their site
install driver or reinstall, even if installed
put printer back again
If it continues to behave as described, then you must delete every print job after completion or upgrade to at least SL. Many say SL is best for that generation, me included. But you must not share this opinion, of course.

How to keep file name in print queue when printing crystal report

We are using VB .Net 2003 + Crystal Report 2008 SP2 up to Fix Pack 2.6
When the VB program spools crystal report files to print queue, the print queue only shows "Crystal Report" for each document. How to keep the original file name? In the past when we were using Crystal Report 11, the original file name can be shown in the print queue.
Please help because it's so important for operation to see which report is failed in printing when reports are printed in batch.
Thanks

Hello,
Set the PrintOption.JobTitle value for the print job. Here's C# code on how to:
               System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions newOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
               pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
               rasPROpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
               rasPROpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
                    pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
            // this sets the name of the print job
            rasPROpts.JobTitle = "MYPrintJob";
               rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(rasPROpts);
               MessageBox.Show("Printing report.", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information );
Thank you

Alien communique, print queue lagging, printer refuses to e-print, can't find with laptop

I purchased the HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One Printer - Black (CN216A#B1H) to replace my top-feed printer whose ink was disappearing from retail stores. It is connected to my Mac Mini (OS: leopard 10.5) via USB, and to my home wifi network. I have a pc (OS: XP) laptop that also connects to the internet via wifi network. Here are my problems:
1. The printer refuses to e-print. I have it set up with hpeprint, and it'll connect to hpeprint occasionally, usually after rebooting. I can print using the apps on the printer, but I can't email ANYTHING to it. I've even spent an hour on the phone with HP's help center, and he's sent stuff to the printer that never printed. It doesn't matter how it's sent--attachment or in the email--or what it is, it just sits in the queue until it fails. I paid more for this feature----why won't it work??
2. I can't find the printer with the laptop. Now this may be my ineptitude with windows, but even my husband (whose laptop it is) can't figure it out. I can access the printer's url in a browser (http://192.168....you know), but I can't get the Add A Printer wizard to recognize the printer. It wants to go in through shared computers, looking for a printer on my Mini--which, by the way, for some strange reason my router won't let computers on my network access my hard-wired mini. Anyways, that's a headache for another day.
3. Last night I tried to print a copy of a legal form, and the job sat in the computer's print queue for about an hour before the printer finally started warming up to print. Then it only printed the first half of the first page, spat it out, and gave me (after about half an hour more) a half dozen pages that look like some kind of alien communique. I've actually had it do this to me a couple times in the last day, just randomly printing these pages until I cancel print. Whatthe?
Setup seemed to be remarkably easy. I just plugged the thing in and followed the prompts. But now I'm starting to have buyer's remorse. What in the world is wrong with this printer?? If you can help me clear up one or two of these things, I'd greatly appreciate it, since it means less time I'll be on the phone with Customer Service.

By the way, here's what it printed:

Printing with IPP (SSL) and job user names

Hi,
Environment: Windows 2008 R2 Servers, WIN 7 and WIN 8.1 clients, all 64 Bit
I setup a printing environment including a FollowYou solution. To realize data encryption from end2end, we decide to use IPP over SSL for Printing. Everything works fin, IIS is installed, all certificates are in place and the necessary clients are enabled/
installed.
Because of the FollowYou solution, i need the origin user who sent the Job from his client via the print server to the printer. Thats where my problem is. I tried three ways to print from the client: SMB, IPP and IPP over SSL. Just if i use SMB, the username
is transferred correctly with the Job and can be seen in the job list in the stopped printer queue. Neither with IPP nor with IPP over SSL the jobname is coming with the job (i see nt authority/IUSR instead).
Is there something i can do to see the username within the job using IPP?
Thanks and regards,

Cannot print directly to the Adobe PDF printer

Hi. I cannot print directly to the Adobe PDF printer since receiving my new computer. I use Acrobat 9 (updated to the latest patch today) on a 64-bit Win 7 computer. A colleague has the same set up and she can print to the Adobe PDF printer without any issues. Fyi, I have tried printing from Word, my email program, & webpages with the same result, which is that the document goes into the printing queue and then the process just stops. This wasn't an issue on my previous computer running the same Acrobat version but under Win XP.
I have updated to the latest patch, and I have tried a repair installation of Acrobat with no affect. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Please check that when you print to PDF, the Save as dialog might goes in background. Watch for blinking icon in the taskbar at the bottom. Click the icon and give output PDF name.
If this is the case then this is known problem at MS end. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2567869
This problem comes when printing from 32bit apps on 64bit OS.

Help! One error printing and now all print jobs status = STOPPED.

I work in a big corporation with 99.99% PCs. I've been printing to networked printers here under Leopard without problem for a long time now. I recently submitted a print job to a HP printer and all it printed was:
Error: invalidfont
OFFENDING COMMAND: definefont
STACK:
-dictionary-
/HSRYIE+ArialNarrow-Italic
However, since that moment I have been unable to print anything irrespective of what printer I choose (HP, Xerox etc). Every time I start a job it immediately shows with a status of STOPPED in the printer window. Other people continue printing to these printers just fine, snickering at my Mac along the way .
Any ideas??

Hoping to inspire some tech-head to respond here...
Restarting doesn't fix this. Repairing permissions doesn't fix this. Removing and reinstalling the printer doesn't fix this.
