Firefox printing incorrectly to printer with Generic /Text Only driver

I have a printer that uses the Generic / Text Only driver, and everytime I try and print to it with Firefox, a carrage return is added after every space. For example this text:
<pre><nowiki><
875 000 096 099
>
</nowiki></pre>
Gets printed like this:
<pre><nowiki><
875
000
096
099
></nowiki></pre>
The text gets printed correctly if I use IE9 or notepad. Any suggestions?

  • Top margin when printing with Generic text driver

    I created a report in Character Mode and tryed to print it using the Generic Text windows printer driver, but the Reports is adding a non-specified top margin. I already removed all the margins of this report in the Layout Editor but the problem continues. What can I do to solve this problem ?

    Is it shifting only down, or to the right as well?
    What are the bleed an slug settings, and are you including slug and bleed in the print?
    Is the dialog set to print in upper left corner, and if so does it change when you print centered?

  • How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

    Hi All,
    In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
    The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
    to the Windows 2003 x32 server,  it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
    Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
    POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
    When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
    This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

  • X86 Generic/Text Only Printer Driver

    Ive got a HP Thin Client that I need to setup a Epson TM88 Receipt printer on.
    The issue is the software will only recognise this printer if its setup with the Generic/Text Only Windows Printer Driver which HP decided not to include in the standard image for the device.
    Its running Windows 7 Embedded 32Bit.
    Now ive looked online and seen heaps of people saying just install on a 32bit pc and then share it to get the driver.  trouble is every other pc and server is 64bit and I cant do that.
    even my home pc's are 64 bit so no option there.
    Does anyone know if there is a download available anywhere online for the .inf file to make this work?
    Alternatively can anyone specify the location and file name for the driver file so I can at least know where to look if I can find someone who has Win7 x86 installed?

    In Internet Explorer go to
    http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx  The Update Catalog will not work in any other browser.
    Type Generic/Text Only in the Search box in the upper right and click on Search.
    Results should be:
    http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=Generic%2FText%20Only
    The second listing with only Windows 8,Windows 8.1 Drivers is the x86 driver.  Although it states Windows 8 the version is 6.1.7600.16385 and dated  6/21/2006.

  • Is printing to generic text printer and hand-coding the report possible?

    We have created Oracle Reports that are formatted to print to Zebra printers. We code the report in Report Layout and the text printed is for generic text printers, what our Zebra printers requires. Can this be done with APEX reports?
    Example:
    ^xa
    ^ilr:val_set.grf2^fs
    ^fo88,132^a0,90,80^fb464,1,0,C,0^fd&<ACCESSION>^fs
    ^by2,3.0,32^fs
    ^ft64,402^BCb,32,n,n^fd&<FARMFIELD>^fs
    ^ft600,402^BCb,32,n,n^sn&<LOCLOW>,1,y^fs
    ^fo304,232^a0r,20,20^fd&<LOCTYPE>^fs
    ^fo334,232^a0,50,45^sn&<LOCLOW>,1,y^fs
    (skipping some code here for brevity)
    ^pq&<LOC_ROWS>^fs
    ^xz
    Asking whether APEX can print to generic text printers and can we code the report output
    ourselves.
    Thanks for any help.

    Here is a simple example of printing via pl/sql to a text file...
    create or replace procedure utl_file_io is
    l_fil utl_file.file_type;
    l_buf varchar2(200);
    begin
    l_fil := utl_file.fopen('TMP', 'amar_test.t', 'W');
    utl_file.put_line(l_fil, 'This is a sample text file.');
    utl_file.put_line(l_fil, 'Generated from Oracle utl_file package.');
    utl_file.put_line(l_fil, 'Below is the content of am1010 table.');
    for rec in (select col1, col2 from am1000) loop
    utl_file.put_line(l_fil, rpad(rec.col1, 15, ' ') || rec.col2);
    end loop;
    utl_file.put_line(l_fil, 'End of File');
    utl_file.fclose(l_fil);
    exception
    when no_data_found then
    utl_file.fclose(l_fil);
    end;
    This routine will generate a text file to the default directory on your server, you would need to build an Oracle directory and change the code to include the path to your file there. Getting it to the printer could be a simple shell script that copies the file out your your printer if it is on the network and can be seen..

  • Generic / Text Only printer crashes FM10

    In Windows 7 64-bit SP-1, selecting the Generic / Text Only printer with a document open or selecting it and then opening a document crashes FrameMaker 10 with the following error:

    OK  
    Suggestions? I don't have a copy of 32-bit Windows to test on.

    How about if you configure an old daisywheel printer? (and you might have to get the driver from MS, they've dropped a lot of legacy stuff from the install media and images) If it works, you could probably render to PDF, then get Acrobat to cough up the plain text.
    Using primitive printer GDIs used to work in Frame, and was entertaining to observe, because Frame would constrain itself to the currently "installed" type wheel/ball font-wise, and the spacing limitations of the printer.
    I never played with it enough to see what would happen if you attempted something impossible for the printer, like rotated text in a table.

  • Firefox won't print with my new HP P1102W printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer

    firefox 3.6.12 won't print with my new HP P1102W laser printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer . I spoke with HP tech support. We reinstalled all drivers. They adamantly say it is a Firefox issue and you should have some modifications for it.
    When I try to print from the internet using Firefox, a dialog box pops up which says "preparing to print." However, it hangs and I have to manually shut it down. Doing this terminates the Firefox session, and it will not restore upon restart. This printer will print files on my hard drive, and if I use IE8, which I do not want.
    Thanks

    It must be a Firefox problem, since it works perfectly in Chrome.

    Please identify your notebook/pc /printer.
    Look at the base/rear/side of the notebook/pc/printer at the barcoded sticker.
    Post item number 2 as seen on the following example of an HP notebook's barcoded sticker. The barcode on your HP product may be slightly different in appearance, but will still have the important information needed for us to help you.  
    ###Do not post the serial number of your product as it is personal information.###
    If your printer is a laser printer then simply go to print preferences and select grayscale printing

  • Format lost when printing to Generic Text Printer after recent upgrade

    We recently upgraded Crystal and now the texty file output from a generic text printer has losst its formatting.
    The text appears like this:
      S
      u
      m
      m
      a
      r
      y
    There si an OD character after each letter.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    Hi Mike,
    That is odd.... What happens if you check on the No Default Printer, save the report and then check it off, or the other way depending on what your original setting is?
    If you create a new report do you see the same results?
    Also, XI is no longer patchable but you can upgrade to XI R2 for free. Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
    Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
    To enable the full XI R2 features locate the Keycode link and get a new one for XI R2.

  • Printing - With Dynamic Text Fields

    Hello,
    i wonder if anyone can help me........i know there are a lot
    of posts already on how to print out dynamic text but all of them
    seem to be using scrolling text fields.
    However my problem isn't even as complex as this but i still
    can't work it out.
    At the moment i have a form of text boxes which the user
    inputs text.............from here there is a print
    button.........in order to compile all of the answers together i
    have created a movie clip.........with the layout of the printed
    page on it, and placed this on the main timeline. Inside this movie
    clip to be printed i have dynamic text fields...which link to the
    text fields which the users inputted data in, therefore both sets
    of text fields contain the same data, when you change one the other
    should change.
    I have set up a very simple printJob command to print out the
    movie clip named print_mc and it prints the page even the outline
    of the text boxes but it doesn't print out the content which
    appears on the screen. my code is attached below.......please if
    anyone could help i would be very grateful :)
    print_btn.onRelease = function() {
    _global.aOneVar =oneAPone.text;
    _global.aTwoVar =oneAPtwo.text;
    print_mc.gotoAndStop("2");
    var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
    var result:Boolean = myPrintJob.start();
    if (result) {
    myPrintJob.addPage("print_mc", null, {printAsBitmap:false},
    2);
    myPrintJob.send();
    delete myPrintJob;
    } else {
    thanks

    I'm with ya. Presumably, then there's a font symbol in your
    Library,
    right? And its Linkage identifier is "arial_font"?
    > If I keep the xml/css but comment out embedFonts, then
    > the content works but is not anti-aliased.
    That's because your CSS calls for Franklin Gothic Book,
    which hasn't
    been imported into your Library as a font symbol (at least,
    you haven't said
    it has).
    > I need both of these to work at the same time.
    Give Franklin Gothic Book a Linkage identifier, and use that
    name in
    your CSS.

  • My pixma printer skips lines/text only in black

    My pixma printer skips lines/text.  Color prints fine.  Anything printed with PGBK (5) does not.  I have cleaned the printer head by removing the carriage that holds the cartridges and using a Q-tip.   That did not work.   It seems that many people have this problem, but nobody can solve it.  Note, the problem is in the printer, not the computer, as the test sheet does not print the PGBK correctly (skips some of it).   I almost suspect that the printer prints fine when the cartridge is going in one direction, but when it comes back, it doesn't print at all as the pattern is very regular.  Like this:
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Has anyone solved this?

  • Problems print with Canon i850/ which driver?

    Ever since I installed Leopard, I have had printing problems with the color on my Canon i850 printer. Usually this has to do with magenta. If cleaned the printer, etc., and didn't have this problem in Tiger. Sometimes magenta will print in some colors, like purple, but sometimes it will print red, or will print red as green. I looked under System Preferences and there are two printers, an i850 and an i850 Gutenprint...which one should I be using? I am using the i850. Why is it that if I have red in a document, one place it may print and another it won't and the same red is selected? Also, where is the printer driver stored? Anyone also have any ideas on a great printer with Leopard? I do mostly black and white, but do color for pictures, not a huge amount, Xmas letters, etc. Just want a reliable, economical printer that the ink isn't outrageous, or is color laser the best? Any ideas or help will be appreciated! Thanks.

    The printing of red as green doesn't sound right. Green is made from cyan and yellow. Red is made from magenta and yellow. So to get green instead of red doesn't sound like a cartridge/print head is faulty, which is sometimes the case for these types of problems. It sounds like you either have a driver problem or a colour management issue.
    The i850 driver you are using is the Canon supplied version. Since this is giving you trouble, then I would try the Gutenprint version. If that still causes colour issues, then the colour management is most likely at fault. Did you upgrade from Tiger or do a fresh install?
    As for the driver location, have a look at ./Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters for the Canon driver. Will need to check the Gutenprint location (I'm at home on Tiger). Maybe someone else can chip in...
    Re the new printer, I can vouch for the Canon iP5300. It has a large black tank for text printing and separate C M Y K tanks for photos.
    Colour laser gives better text printing, but the photos aren't as good. Also, the purchase price is often more, although the toner cartridges have higher yields than ink. Have a look at this link

  • Can I print with black cartridge only if colour cartidges are empty on HP C1600 seeries printer?

    Can I print using the black cartridge only whilst the colour cartridges are empty? I have a HP Photosmart C1600 series printer and Vista installed on my PC. I have set the Printer preferences to  "Grayscale and use Black Cartridge only" but the printer itself is telling me it wont print unless i replace my empty yellow cartridge. I bought a brand new Black cartridge so i could print using black ink only as i dont need to use colour.

    Hi,
    Many printers from all vendors will not print with just one empty ink cartidge, it doesn't matter which one. Some printers allow users to print but at slower than snail speed. Whichever way, we have to have ink carridges to be able to print (even scan).

  • Printing with black ink only

    I have a HP photosmart c6280.  I only want to print in black only but my colored ink keeps expiring and needs to be replace too frequently.  I have tried grayscale but it still drains my color ink.  what can be done about this?????

    Greetings!
     Go to your 'Control Panel' and look up your specific printer under your Hardware and Sound. Under your printer 'preferences' choose black ink only. No guarantee, but that'll usually do it. Just ensure you 'mutually' verify under advanced options just prior to actually printing anything that you are choosing the 'black ink only' method. Some printers inevitably still print with color because the print head can overheat with friction as the head module is still commanded to assist the black ink cartridge to spit out a small amount of ink no matter what. It's a software and hardware paradox but some inkjets work off this principle that you still need to have the ink -ever so slightly- but still coming out of the print head head to complete the dark black. (I know, it sounds weird, but that's out of my realm for being able to explain the manufacturers...) Hope that helps... Cheers!
