Mapping to printer

My network requires I use Z: for other things. Currently Z: is mapping by default to my HP printer. I'm assuming the printer has a share established for the mapping to occur, but how do I change the drive to something other than Z: ? What is the share name , if any?
I tried disconnecting and re-mapping to P: based on the IP address of the printer, but no dice.

Hi CCRedNeck and welcome to the HP Forum,
In order for the printer to work on all drives, it technically should be installed on the network. You would need to have your IT person do this.
If your printer is a commercial printer you can contact the HP Support Center for business.
I hope this information helps.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Printing from JBOSS (on a windows server as system account) on a mapped (shared) printer (installed as administrator)

Hi,
I have JBOSS running on a Windows Server. Our applications on JBOSS use network printers which are installed on the server for printing purposes. This works fine so far, except for one case for which I ask you for support:
If I map a printer, which is (only) conneted via USB with a PC and shared in the network, the printer is available on the server with JBOSS and can be mapped, BUT JBOSS is not able to see this particular printer and print on it, while the other installed
network printers are available and functional via JBOSS.
My researchs have led to the conclusion, that JBOSS doesn't see this printer, as JBOSS is running unter the SYSTEM account, while the printer was installed with an administrator account. Strangely network printers don't cause this issue.
If I start JBOSS with an administrator account, it can see and use the shared printer. But unfortunately this is not an option, as it causes other issues with our applications.
So the question is: Is there a way to make the printer visible for the SYSTEM account? Or any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Amir

simple solution is to install your printers locally rather than connecting to a network resource, locally installed printers have the advantage of being
visible to every user on your system including system accounts. To install a printer locally rather than connecting to a network printer start the "Add Printer Wizard" and select "Local printer attached to this computer"

How can I see the connect option when mapping a printer microsoft iis 7

We use iis 7 web printing. Firefox is our browser of choice. However, when we go to our webpage to map a printer, and click on a printer, there is no connect option to install the printer. This is only in firefox. Internet explorer works fine once you click the compatibility option.

Looked through all of material, none have the answer. Firefox browses to the directory fine, x.x.x.x/printers. but you cannot install the printer because the "connect" option is not there.

ABAP Mapping Pretty Print

Hi Everybody,
I have an issue with linefeed in ABAP Mapping.The ouput document generated by ABAP Mapping is as follow:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?<Header Node><T_H><SEND_ID value="XYZ"/>
<REC_ID value="PQR"/>
<DATE value="2007"/>
</T_H>
<O_H><L_NO value="252517"/>
<W_NO value="298"/>
<U_NO value="298"/>
</O_H>
</Header Node>
If we can see the above payload, i have the <Header Node> coming in the same line as that of the utf-8 and also the subnode <T_H> starting in the same line and its first field <SEND_ID > in the same line.The same is repeating for the second subnode <O_H>. I want to do a pretty print for this payload.I have used the method <b>set_pretty_print( )</b> in the ABAP Mapping, but there is no effect of this on the output.
To make it clear let me give the required output Xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?
<Header Node>
<T_H>
<SEND_ID value="XYZ"/>
<REC_ID value="PQR"/>
<DATE value="2007"/>
</T_H>
<O_H>
<L_NO value="252517"/>
<W_NO value="298"/>
<U_NO value="298"/>
</O_H>
</Header Node>
Can anybody help me out on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Zabiula

Insert a new line character as per the ABAP rules in the generated XML. It is normally "/n" for microsoft based languages. Not sure what it is in ABAP. May be an ABAPer must be able to help you.

Mapping default printer based on AD attribute

Hi all !
Sorry for my english, i'll try to be clear... :)
I need to run a VBscript on TSE 2008 R2 servers to set computer's

The default printer name is written in the computer's description attribute in Active Directory.

I think there's a most simple way to do this, but for the moment, I Don't know how to do.
Any help would be grateful.

Hello.
We need to do this because each computer in the office as a network printer (or nearly each computer). I can't do a Group Policy for each computer in my domain. We cannot work with users accounts, only computers .
My problem is that if the user1 is connected on Comp1, he must have the printer near computer 1 as default printer.
If user1 is connected on computer 2, at the other side of the office, he must have the printer near computer 2. So I cannot imagine a group policy to do this :).
We had the idea to use the descprition attribute in Active Directory to indicate the default printer to map.
We must now make a script to get clientname on the TSE session, look for the computer account in Active Directory, read its description's attibute and map the default printer.
For example, my computer is COMP01. I use a TSE environment on SRVTSE01.
The script need to determine which computer (COMP01) is connected to the SRVTSE01 server (clientname var), search Active Directory computer account of COMP01, read the account's description attribute (for example PRINT01) and set \\SRV-PRINT\PRINT01 as the
default printer on COMP01.
Hope it's better with this example...

Script to map default printer based on user input

Hello everyone,
Complete scripting noob here but I managed to cludge together a vb script (from various sources) that will remove all current printers and then add printers based on group membership. It can also add a default printer and if they have a local printer
make that default. All that works just fine, my problem is that we have very large floors with many printer clusters. Group membership for printers is by floor and I do not have the option to further define this (Also GPO is not an option as getting
our network group to deploy anything takes years so we need to go this route).
What I would need is something graphical (like an HTA) that when run it prompts the user to input which floor they are on, then it asks them which of the print clusters (on the floor they specified) is closest to them. It would then install all the
printers on the floor and make the default printer one from the print cluster they indicated (unless they have a local printer). I hope this make sense.
I think I have most of the pieces laid out but I don't know how to get the user prompts/GUI and then perform the correct mappings. Thank you in advanced!

I agree with Bill. Using the correct method will be best. You network people will be more than happy to tell you what is set up and how to use it. You just need to ask your manager to get you in contact with them for a little parley.
If you are really insisting on a script then look in the repository. There are dozens of scripts that you can use and modify.
You should try to see this as a challenge to bring modern technology to your company. Approaching this kind of thing as a global IT challenge will usually get the attention of IT and they will usually take it seriously. You will likely learn
many things about the IT resources your company has.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear but I'm not asking anyone to write the script for me, as I said I have most of the parts working. My issue is getting the user input and getting the script to take the action I need it to (I can map the printers based on
AD group membership I really just need to prompt the user to select which one they want as default). My thoughts were to wrap a GUI around it but it's not needed.
I agree that GPO is the way to go but in State Government it takes an act of Congress to get anything done in the mean time I'm trying to get things done with the means available to me.

How to allow non domain users to map to print drivers?

Greetings,
We have a Windows Server 2008 (non R2) 32 bit server that acts as print server. It's also on a domain. Users who are on the domain can easily add the print driver simply by going to device and printers and clicking Add Printer and selecting Network since
I list it in the AD.
The problem arise with well over 100 realtors that walk in and out and need to print. These users are not on the domain. They need to have the print drivers on their computers. I'm hoping we can at least get them to map to the drivers as opposed to unending
local installs.
The management does not want to hear about security, and wants the simplest possible way for their realtors to get up and printing from their computers when they arrive to the office.
Any advice is welcomed.
Thank you!

In the end they got a domain user account that they share to add printers...
Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Non-printing of maps and other website document printing.

Since an update of Firefox (I don't know which one) I am unable to print maps and other online website documents. The maps comes up onscreen with no difficulty but when I choose "print map" the "print preview" and the actual print is blank. In the past the system printed everything with no difficulty. If I access the Internet with Explorer I can print with no problems.

Try the '''''reset''''' described here:

Oracle Maps RC 1 - print problem

Hi,
I have 2 problems with printing a map with Oracle Maps RC 1:
1. I have several basemaps (each transparent) and several FOI themes. my application provides switching on/off all of the basemaps and FOI themes. the result of printing my map is pretty odd: background is black and only last added basemap is on the map (even if it was switched off) + FOI themes (but only borders of their polygons - without inside transparent colour) - so the printed result is completely diffrent from map on screen.
2. after starting printing my hidden "printmap" DIV appears with map to print and when I click on "map" DIV it closes back. I am using ADF Faces verbatime div for both DIVs
thanks,
Branislav

Hi Liujian,
the problem persists in MV 10.1.3.1 production and also in simple HTML page (I guess the problem is somewhere in transparency of PNGs - just guess)
please see the flash demo of the problem: http://www.freewebalbum.com/demo/MVprint/MVprint.html

Can I restore the prior File print command functionality for Google maps?

Printing Google Maps, recently the file command on Firefox only prints the map and not the directions also. The map and directions both used to print. I am aware that there is the print link near the map, this prints a much larger map and causes trouble with our ISA server. This link requires full access to the Google.com site. We have restricted access to the maps.google.com for employee productivy reasons. My question is can I restore the prior printing functionality? The printing works fine with I.E.

It's either that or finding other software for your scanning needs. For example, Image Capture comes with OS X, VueScan 9.2.09, ExactScan Pro 2.24.
Alternatively, partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on another volume.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive. Use the Snow Leopard installer DVD to install Snow Leopard on your new volume.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

How to print out just a section of a map or illustration

Mapmakers, how can I target just a section of a larger map to print out or save separately? I'd like to put just a smaller section of a 28" x 28" map as a sample on the web. I know there is a tool for this but I can't find it.

when you do the export, in the window where you select a destination, at the bottom you'll see an option for "Use Artboards" select the radio button for that, and then you'll have the option to enter the artboard number you want exported.

Unable to print Google maps

Hi,
Until a few days ago, I could print out a Google map with the print command in Safari (2.0.4.), move the map to zoom in on a particular intersection and print that page as well. It all worked fine. Computer Is Power Mac G4, HP 4000 laser printer.
Today, I no longer can print a google map using the print command in Safari (2.0.4) or "print" in preview. Text directions print out, but no map is printed just a blank page.
Note: I am able to print a map using the print command on the Google page, but the map consists of 3 small boxes (overview, start, and end). I can't print out a zoomed-in area.
I emptied the cache, cleared history, and I have not reset Safari.
Any suggestions as to why and what to do would be appreciated. Thanks
Richard
Mac OS X (10.4.7) Power Mac G4

Google wrote and said they changed their output format for printing. So, not a Safari issue.

Unable to print to any session mapped printers

Hello,
I've got a new, Azure VM set up and I'm trying to get it to print to any of the printers that have been mapped through my RDP session. However, whenever I try to print a test page -- regardless of which printer I choose -- the print job always fails,
and there's no detailed information provided by the error to identify the issue.
I'm trying to print to a network printer that prints fine on the host I use to connect to my VM. It does appear to map the printer fine and it even appears online as I can view the printer's properties. I just cannot print to it or any of the
other mapped printers.
What are some common solutions to this problem? If I can't print from my Azure VM it is largely useless to my business. Please help!

Check the Canon and OKI printer websites for Mountain Lion driver support. Hopefully you can download the drivers from there.

Map printer via 'net use' batch file

Hello,
I have a shared printer on a server in the domain AAA
From another domain BBB, I map the printer with a simple batch script
net use \\SERVER\printer /USER:AAA\login password
it works fine under Windows XP but not with Windows 7
Moreover, I also change this option in gpedit.msc
Local Computer Policy> Computer Configuration> Windows Settings> Security Settings>
Local Policies> Security Options> "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level" >> Change to: “Send LM & NTLM, use NTLMv2 session security is negotiated”
other precision the command line for mapping is correct and execute successfully but print documents never leave while on a job in windows 7 the same domain AAA it works.
Does anyone have any idea why it does not work with windows 7
Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried adding the printer to Windows 7 from Devices and Printers control panel?
http://groups.haas.berkeley.edu/HCS/howdoi/Printing/add_network_printer_vista_win7.pdf
Or you can use GPP to add a new printer:

IE 10 Google Maps Printing Issue

Just upgraded to IE11 and that fixed it. I'll have to get with my CIO and advise him that we'll probably have to update the servers to that so it can work wit Google Maps (which is what all of our drivers use). Thanks!

Good morning. We're having an issue with IE 10 "squishing" or compacting Google Maps when printing them out. Using Chrome it works fine. Already unchecked "Shrink to Fit" and ensured that Compatibility View was turned Off for google.com and maps.google.com. Having a hard time finding anything else online about this issue past those two suggestions. Screenshots attached. 1st one is IE Print Preview and 2nd one is Chrome Print Preview
