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:

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.

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.

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?

Sales order texts - only printed correctly on repeat print out

Hi all,
We have an issue, where on the first printout through VF31 of a sundry billing document, the material sales text maintained in French is not printed, even though the language in the customer's master data is French, the material sales text in the sales document is maintained in French and in VOTXN the access sequences are maintained for all languages.
I first checked this post Sales order text determination which unfortunately didn't resolve the issue (although a very interesting discussion).
The strange part is, when we do a repeat print out through VF31 selecting procession mode 2 (Repeat Processing) the document is printed WITH the material sales texts correctly. For me even stranger is that the repeat printout uses the same output type as the initial printout. I am now officially lost. Would any of you have any idea, where the issue lies here?
I would try to change some setup in VOTXN, but knowing that the repeat print out does print the texts correctly, let's me think there might be a different issue.
Any idea are very welcome.
Thank you in advance!
Alexis
Edit: when we copy the text and make it "Dutch", for some reason it's printed out correctly on the first printout. Although I cannot find any restriction, where Dutch is specified specifically, nor do I see where French is excepted specifically.

Guys --
Thanks for the help!
Suda -- will try out your suggestion. Gordon - in answer to your question, we actually go from Sales Order to A/R Invoice (Draft) to A/R Invoice.
We use the A/R Invoice (Draft) as our packing slip and skip Delivery module altogether.
I realize this is a bit unconventional but seems to work best for our business practice.
Thanks!
Mike

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?

Printing Crystal report using Generic Text output - formating lost

Hi. I have an accounting system using Crystal to generate it's business forms, in particular invoicing as reports. Recently we have installed new printing system that needs generic text to capture and create the business forms (invoices) into a graphic and text. When Crystal sends data to Generic Text Printer, you can view it ok as a preview but it moves text around , bunches it up and formatting is never the same for two documents. I need resolution as the printing software needs fixed text in a specific location within the data file. Is there a way in Crystal to format fields so they dont move the data and bunch it up. The business forms written in Crystal have sub reports that are supressed if no data is to be printed, but finding text is moving and hard to capture a fixed location in text file. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,
Thank you for your responses.
Yes, I'm using a bundled version that came with VS 2005.
I'd love to download this update, but I cannot get there! I don't have an login and password for this site, and I don't know how to get them.
This is all I'd found about this issue in this thread:
http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=844
"I opened an incident with Business Objects. They said there is not a way to do what we want to do with the Crystal Reports for .NET assemblies. They are going to implement a way to create a postscript file and include it in Service Pack 3 of Crystal XI Release 2. They would not say how the postscript will be created (ie, ExportToDisk or any other method), only that they would include it in CRXI Release 2 SP3 which they intend to release sometime this coming winter. "
"Just an update...this has been fixed in Crystal XI Release 2 Service Pack 3.
I just finished testing, and it now allows you to print to a file without prompting the user. We are now able to create a postscript file."
Thanks,
Peter

Not printing text-only graphics on Canon. Not printer problem-print ok on Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Not printing text only on Canon--grahics print ok. Not printer problem. Prints ok on a Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.
System Preferences > Print&Fax > ...
... shows a list of all set-up printers.
If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.

How to: Print table on first page, use second page (back) for text only

Hi, I am looking for a clear document on how to use pagination and the Odd and Even pages.
We need to print a table over several pages, but only on Odd pages.
On the back of each page we need to print "Terms and Conditions". Is that possible? Can it be done without scripting
We are on ADOBE version 8.1
In the file properties, double sided is switched on, and version set to 8.1 and higher.
I created two Master pages, a FrontPage with ContentArea1and a BackPage with ContentArea2.
FrontPage is used for uneven pages, BackPage is used for the even pages. The masterpages are printed correctly (alternating properly).
Two pages were created for the content area's:
ITEMS: contains item data (table with header and footer). Place is "On Odd Page". After "Goto page BackPage". And if the table needs to be paginated it goes to BackPage with overflow leader "Conditions".
CONDITIONS: contains a textfield (Terms and Conditions). Place is "On Even Page". After "Goto page FrontPage". No overflow.
What should happen is that on the front pages the item table is printed. If there are too many lines it should overflow to page number 3 then 5 etc. All the even pages should display the text.
What actually happens is that the item table also gets printed in the content area for the Condition text...
Also the "Conditions" are not printed on the last back page. But only once before it...
Cheers,
Edwin.

Fixed it... After a lot of creating, deleting, playing around with pagination and the inevitable cursing...
I have created 5 pages:
1. FirstPage
     - Odd/Even: Odd (Front) Pages
     - Placement: First page (In page set)
2. FrontPage (For Odd pages)
     - Odd/Even: Odd/Front Pages
     - Placement: Rest of Pages
3. BackPage (For Even pages)
     - Odd/Even: Even (Back) Pages
     - Placement: Rest of Pages
4. LastPage
     - Odd/Even: No Odd/Even Restrictions
     - Placement: Last page (In page set)
5. DummyPage
     - Odd/Even: Blank pages
The 'Terms and conditions' are located on the BackPage and LastPage (as a text).
The table that is printed is (of course) located on a normal page (flowed subform).
Pagination tab: Placement = Following previous, and After = "Continue filling parent". No overflow... Basically, it's all default.
The table lines will now start on the first page and if there are more lines than can be printed on this page, it will continue in the next content area. That will be on the FrontPage.
The trick is that each master page must have a content area (mandatory). Except for Blank pages, but these cannot be used... Blank pages would only be used once, after the first page.
What I discovered is that you can drag a content area away from the Master page and attach it to a different master page.
Logically, if there is no content area on a page, then data cannot be printed there. So, I created a Dummypage. On this page I dumped the content areas from the LastPage and the BackPage. As a result, content cannot be printed anymore on the back of pages. Only the standard text (a text field) is printed there. When the data from the table is overflowing, it will automatically overflow from the FirstPage to the next content area. Which is located on the FrontPages only.
The DummyPage is NOT used anywhere.
The result is that the records can only be printed on the content areas that exist on the First and Front pages. The back pages are now skipped.
Duplex printing is now working correctly, and the text is printed on the back of all the pages.
Cheers,
Edwin.

Unable to print added text only in Acrobat Pro XI

User is trying to print added text that's been added to an existing PDF page. In Acrobat X she chose "Form fields only" under Comments & Forms from the Print menu. In XI it produces a blank page. The added text only shows up if she chooses Document or Document and Markups, but then she gets the entire document. She only wants the added text to print.

Thanks to all who commented here. I found that adding text using Tools>Content Editing>Add Text will not allow the user to print solely the added text. As everyone responded here, that's as designed. However, using Comment>Annotations>Add Text does allow the user to print solely the added text as she was used to doing in Acrobat X. I thought it was the same tool under two different headings, but obviously they interact differently in the print menu. Choosing Form fields only from the Print Menu's Comments & Forms panel will produce solely the text added under the Comment panel's Add Text tool without printing the rest of the document page. And the user doesn't have to turn the document into a form to do so.

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..
Thank you,

Only Text get printed when printing the RTF file.

hi,
i am able to print the rtf document, but it only print the text in it, table structure and any other formatting is missed while printing directly through java, any clue why this is happening.
thanks in advance.

Hello Jim_Guo,
What are the specific error codes that are being thrown with each instance? I was able to deploy a read only system definition with Veristand 2013 but I still need to test on VS 2010 as well. I however received and error when I tried to modify the system definition which is expected. Do you receive any errors when you change them from read only?

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.
Thank you

Since updating to 10.6.8 my Canon LBP3100B printer is only printing lines and no text??

Hi there
I hope someone is able to help me. I recently did a Software update to 10.6.8 and my Canon printer LBP3100B is now only printing lines & pictures (no text)
I had a look on Canon's website and their newest driver is for 10.7 but i'm only on 10.6.8??
Not sure what to do or if anyone else has had this problem.
Why can't companies make their products more compatible with Macs? Sigh...

I have exactly the same problem since last weeks's 10.6.8 update, but with a Canon ip4500 printer.
Unfortunately, the v3.31 CAPT driver mentioned above is not for 10.6.8 or my printer, but thanks for trying Pahu.
The CAPT v3.31 driver does work on 10.6.8 but the driver is for certain laser models of Canon printers and All In Ones, such as the LBP3100B that the OP has. I never said it was for the inkjets so I'm not sure how you thought that I did.
deibu wrote:
There doesn't seem to be any sign yet of Canon updating their 10.6.8 drivers, and the latest Apple update today didn't help either, although it apparently included a bug fix for other printer problems.
The 10.6.7 and subsequent 10.6.8 updates did not introduce the 'no text printing' issue that the Canon laser devices experienced. If the iP4500 is not printing text then it may have simply run out of black ink. And note that this model has two black tanks. The PGI-5Bk which is for printing text and the CLI-8Bk which is used for photos. So run a nozzle test to see if all the colours are printing correctly.
If both black tanks are working fine then try removing the printer from Print & Fax and adding it again. This can often help when printers stop working. Also, restarting the printer itself can often help resolve non printing issues.
