OS 9 Application Printing

I am running several OS 9 applications under classic in OS X 10.3.9. I need to be able to print from these applications but would like to only use TCP/IP without Appletalk. I have HP printers that I can use IP printing or a Windows Print server.
Can this be accomplished, or do I need to enable Appletalk?
Thanks

With Tiger you wouldn't have a problem. With Panther... well, it'll depend on the printer and which drivers are available. PostScript printers under OS 9/Classic pretty much demanded AppleTalk. Inkjets could usually live without it, (because the vast majority of inkjets weren't PostScript) as could non-PostScript lasers. However, non-PostScipt lasers have other problems with Classic under Panther.
I have HP printers that I can use
IP printing or a Windows Print server.
That sounds laser-printer-like, which is not good. Which HP printer do you want to use? And are you sure you don't want to go to Tiger? It would greatly simplify your Classic printing.
Can this be accomplished, or do I need to enable
Appletalk?
If it's a laser you need to print to, odds are, yes you do.
Thanks

The application Printer Setup Utility quit unexpectedly

Hi All,
I'm using 10.4.11, trying to add a printer. In 'Default Browser', I click on 'More Printers', and I receive the following error, The application Printer Setup Utility quit unexpectedly.
Done all the basics, reset permissions, updated latest software, no help.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
Did you reboot your computer after repairing permissions & installing? If so, trash the com.apple.print.PrintCenter.plist file & restart your computer.
Please post back the results.

Re: Apple address book application PRINT PROBLEM

When printing a hard copy of my address book, I encounter these problems...
1, in any print format I use, whether compact or indexed, whether I choose landscape or portrait, some info for the last contact in a column will "wrap" up to the next column with the 1st line cut off at the top! The card name in the first column prints just fine, but one column over doesn't start with a card name and the info that starts to print there is only half a line, cut off at the top!
2, the "Notes" field won't print. I cannot find any print field option to show the notes I have made. I cannot find any way to add a "notes" field in the card template. I would change a field to a custom name, but then the field itself doesn't accommodate what I need to record there.
3. I have tried to change the font size in the print options, but the font size will not change to a larger type when I print.
Can anyone help with a Fix for these issues? Or can anyone suggest a purchased Apple application that I could export my address file to and print with more options than the standard Apple address book application?

Hi,
have a look at Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
It should do the trick.

64 Bit Applications Print to PDF but 32 Bit Applications do not

Vista Home Premium x64. All updates installed. SP1 is installed.
Acrobat 8.1.2 as a part of CS3.
Printer Port is set to Documents/*.pdf
Printing fails with Spool print docs or Print directly to Printer selected.
All 64 Bit Applications work.
All 32 Bit Applications fail while 'spooling' according to the Print
Spooler. Printing documents cannot be paused or deleted.
The acrotray.exe and the application from which you are printing must be
killed by Task Manager. And a reboot is necessary to clear the print cue.
The Microsoft Hotfix KB930627cannot be applied due to SP1 having released a
newer version of GDI32.dll.
All applications can successfully print to any other printer on the network.
The Message "Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not
activated." This is not the case. Acrobat is activated.
A repair installation has been done.
Hopefully this is enough information for someone to advise me.
I see many instances of users complaing since late last year. Is there a

Synchronizing the color profile between the Nikon D810 & CC Applications & printing.

The colors and color temperature as rendered by the CC applications are much different from my Nikon D810 NEF files viewing. The printed files are also
off. I know I need to synchronize something but not sure what.
How do I synchronize my computer with the CC color profile... if there is such a thing.

Did you go to the Camera Calibration tab in Camera Raw and choose the right color profile? (There was an issue with Camera Raw 8.6 and the D810 displaying odd color banding. Fix is at the link.)

CS applications printing inconsistent color

My problem is that the same file prints differently in Photoshop, Illustrator, InD and Acrobat. I've synchronized the color settings in Bridge. Nevertheless they produce different color when I print. Illustrator & InD are pale, and Acrobat is too dark. Photoshop alone produces true color.
I'm currently testing with an Illustrator vector graphic. When I save it as an Illustrator PDF and print from Acrobat, colors are too dark. When I save a PSD copy of the image and then place it in the Illustrator file, next to the vector version, they both print with matching pale colors. When I print the same PSD from Photoshop, colors are bright and accurate. So the color difference is related to the application (and printer), not the file.
Let me emphasize that all apps use the same synchronized color settings. I've turned the printer's color management off, and color handling is always by the CS app. The "printer profile" menu is set to the correct paper type. Rendering intent, perceptual. Still each program produces different color.
Any ideas? Thanks for your suggestions.
-Neil
PS. This is with a silver iMac, OSX 10.5.3, CS3, and an Epson R1900 with the newest driver.
PPS. Yes, I have calibrated my monitor, but this isn't a screen/print comparison. Photoshop prints colors true to my monitor and to what the color value actually is.

In addition to the above, I've also noticed that printing from Illustrator CS3 results in lower resolution line art, as if the screen res image is printing, rather than Illustrator outputting at the resolution of the printer. The same Illustrator file, opened in Photoshop, will print at whatever resolution it is rastered to on import.
The second problem is that the Epson driver doesn't appear to pay attention to the settings, coating the page with gloss optimizer and using photo black ink even when paper has explicitly been set to plain paper with gloss optimizer turned off.
On my Epson 4000 and 9880, I've used the Colorburst RIP. Does anyone know of a similar software RIP for the R1900?
Also Epson Utility appears to not work at all if the R1900 is either on a shared computer, or plugged into the USB Port of an AiPort base station or Time Capsule? Are there plans to add this functionality? It's a drag to not be able to see the ink level remaining from any computer other than the one the printer is connected to, or not from any computer if the printer is connected to the TimeCapsule basestation.

Apple applications printing -- black fonts are now blue in lion

as of Lion, both my laptop and my desktop macpro exhibit this behavior. All Apple created applications now print black text as blue. Other apps such as adobe reader do not. also things printed from Google Chrome work fine, as long as you don't allow CHrome to use the Apple system printer controller utility.
anybody else have this problem?

Yes, must have accidentally hit Apple+F5 and turned on the Voice Over options. With my speakers turned off, I hadn't noticed the Voice Over function in action.
Thanks, it was driving me insane!

Web Application- Printing in draft mode

From JSP, I need to print a document in draft mode to local machine. I used the below code for doing the same. The report is getting printed to the server machine. I want the report to be printed in client machine (i.e if the printed is attached to client machine, report should get printed else message should be given as no printer attached).
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
DocFlavor myFormat = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
Doc myDoc = new SimpleDoc(is, myFormat, null);
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new Copies(1));
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
PrintService services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
System.out.println("services" + services.getName());
DocPrintJob job = services.createPrintJob();
job.print(myDoc, aset);

JSP code executes on the server, not the client. It is meant for dynamically generating HTML pages based on code it executes on the server side. You are not using the right technology for your goal.

CUPS Error message when printing from some applications

Hi. I've got an issue when printing from some apps, but not others. Up to a few months ago everything was fine, then it started when Word would not print direct to my printer (Epson Stylus Pro 3880), not a big deal as I don't use it a lot and could print it through Safari if needed. Then more worryingly as a designer I found that PDFs stopped printing direct too, again I can print through Safari and Preview. Last night I installed a firmware update and now InDesign (CS4) is refusing to print!! Not great as printing via Safari/Preview doesn't give me the same level of control over my prints. Just checked both Illustrator and Photoshop and they both print okay. I get the same error code each time "error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed" Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks in anticipation. D

cytan,
As Matt pointed, an application printing to CUPS controls only the format of the input. It has no direct control over the chain of filters inside the printing pipeline. Acrobat isn't coded to use pstoraster, it is simpling submitting postscript to the print queue. In an un-molested Apple supplied CUPS setup, that works fine.
What is going on is that the CUPS system configuration got mangled by some third party bits. In the Unix tradition, the configuration is fairly transparent, in the form of plain text files. In particular, in /usr/share/cups/mime you will find out exactly how the filter pipeline is configured via a table of what filter to use to convert data between two mime types. So we can inspect how the filters are setup and how a broken pstoraster is getting into the chain.
I don't have a handy "before mangling" state, but I can clearly see the Apple specified filters to be invoked when the input data is application/postscript (in apple.convs). I can also see a conflicting filter definition referencing the broken pstopdf (in mime.convs) but with a higher precedence, overriding the apple specified filter. This is why, in reference to your points #1 and #2, simply removing pstoraster fails, because the filter configuration is what needs fixing.
On my system, I found the pstoraster filter to be a shell script referencing a MacPorts install of ghostscript. I've since removed MacPorts, but that evidentally left the CUPS configuration in this broken state. Without knowing exactly how the CUPS system was put into the broken state, fixing it can be a bit tricky. Another posting suggested replacing the broken pstoraster with the Apple supplied equivalent of pstocupsraster. That might work, but it would be better to simply remove the conflicting filter specification, which on my system is this bit in /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs:
# pstoraster is part of GPL Ghostscript...
application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 100 pstoraster
Removing that will restore the Apple specified filter chain for postscript input. With the filter specification gone, you are free to remove the pstoraster filter itself.
On wating for Adobe to fix this...
Acrobat provides enough things to scream about without pinning non-Acrobat problems on it as well. Not only is this problem not the fault of Acrobat, but suggesting that Acrobat should reach into a CUPS system broken by some unknown third party and fix it is only going to complicate the situation by having two third party products trying to un-do each other's configuration of a system resource. Do you really trust Adobe to fiddle with system components it doesn't own? No, I didn't think so. Adobe installers and updaters have enough trouble with the stuff they do own.
So, why does this problem only seem to affect Acrobat (your point #3)? I suspect it is simply that Acrobat is in the minority of submitting Postscript to the print queue. Any print job produced via CoreGraphics APIs is going to enter the system via a different path (namely, PDF), but the Postscript method is completely legitimate and any application that submits Postscript will be affected in the same way as Acrobat.
I hope this sheds some useful light on what is really going on with this problem.

I do not know any more. Can anybody help me at this problem?
Its very urgent. Pls help me...

Hi Kenneth,
I faced the exact same problem few days ago, but i was installing on windows. The logic is the same.
This is the information i got from my installation guide.
"During the installation, the default ports 21200 and 21212 are used for communication between
SAPinst, GUI server, and SAPinst GUI. SAPinst uses port 21200 to communicate with the GUI server.
The GUI server uses port 21212 to communicate with SAPinst GUI. You get an error message if one
of these ports is already in use by another service.
In this case, open a command prompt and change to the required directory as follows:
<DVD drive>:\IM_WINDOWS_<platform>.
Enter the following command in a single line:
sapinst.exe SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number_sapinst_gui_to_gui_server>
GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=<free_port_number_gui_server_to_sapinst_gui>"
There are two things to note here.
1) Your Java_Home environment variable is set and not pointing out to bin folder.
2) Make sure that the ports are free and not in use.
For me, i did the first option and retried and went through.
Please try and let us know if it worked for you.
Regards,
Bharat

Application-specific print settings

I use my iMac in my retail business for Point of Sale. I run credit cards through a browser-based processor, and I use Safari for that. I also use the iMac for everything else you need to do running a business, and so I've got three printers hooked up: a receipt printer, a label printer for price tags, and a laser printer.
Right now I have to change the paper size every time I print a credit card receipt from Safari (30-50 times per 8-hour day). It's not an option to set the label printer AND its paper size in the global print defaults (that is, when I set the default printer in System Preferences, it doesn't give me the paper size option, 72mm x 180mm. I only get that option in the application print dialog.)
My other problem is that having the default printer set as the label printer (since it gets used most consistently through the day) is that anytime I want to print anything else, I've got to change printers. And that's not infrequent, because I print 10-20 class schedules per day on the laser printer.
Is there any way to specify a print default that is application-specific? That is, anytime I click "print" in Safari, I get the label printer automatically, but anytime I click "print" in Preview, I get the Laser printer automatically? I'm flummoxed.
I've been looking at writing a script in AppleScript, is that the way to go? I tried making a workflow in Automator this morning, but it was slow and cumbersome, and no different than doing the clicking myself.
Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

Hi Ewa,
You could change owner firstly as below steps:
1. Open the registry editor to the following key - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.
2. Change the permissions on the key itself by right-clicking on the {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97} key, and selecting "permissions".
3. This will open up a permissions dialog box. Click the "Advanced" button.
4. The key is owned by trustedinstaller. This needs to change before we continue, so click the "Change" link.
5. Assuming the account you're using is part of the Administrators group, just type in "Administrators" in the box and click the "OK" button.
6. Click the "Apply" button, then click the "OK" buttons until the permissions dialog window closes.
7. You will need to right-click the registry key again (from step 2) and select "Permissions" again from the list.
8. With "Administrators" highlighted, click to place a check into the "Full Control"/"Allow" box.
9. Click the "Apply" button, then click "OK" again until the permissions dialog window closes.
After done, run dcomcnfg as Administrator, you would see as below, continue the steps in the previous reply we discussed.

How to open print dialog from web dynpro abap application

Hi experts,
I have a web dynpro application with several views and onone of the view there is a button that should open print dialog with printers list and all other options (standard print dialog we see in windows). I did reserach on SDN and came to now that this is a limitation of web dynpro abap. I did find some code also but unfortunately our current version of ABAP(7.0) do not support the code I found. I am not able to find any proper solution for this. Could someone please let me know how I can open a print dialog by clicking on a button in web dynpro abap? Any sample code or any information would be greatky appreciated.
Thanks.

How to set print dialog box to sync with applications

Dear all
I am using different applications, such as photoshop, lightroom, etc. All these applications have their propper print dialog box with enhanced settings.
BUT
after hitting the print button, my computer takes me always to the mac print dialog box, where again I can set different things: I can set paper quality, paper format, the colors...
to me it seems that the settings I have chosen in the application print dialog box are getting erased by this second set of (OS X) print-settings.
WHY DO I NEED TO GO THROUGH TWO PRINT DIALOG BOXES?
Can I omit the OS X print dialog?
Or am I missing something?
many thanks for your help,
Hynek

Thank you for this reply.
I will work around it with presets.
but just to understand this: *which dialog box is the one setting the printer* (when for example using photoshop)? is it the first dialog box, i.e. photoshop print dialog box - or is it the osX print dialog box?
if it is the second, I can skip the photoshop-one... ?
or do I need to experiment with a combination of both?
greetings,
Hynek
p.s. I know, it is a rather late reply. But we became parents 7 months ago, and time at the moment just flies by...

My HP6500 prints in solid Yellow for all applications but Word2000. Why?

Before the printer needed black ink it seemed to work OK. At least I thought it was the black ink that caused the yellow printing. Word2000 prints in black and copying/scan works in black. All other applications print in solid yellow (including notepad) even when in grey scale mode.

Hey gbrig!
Sounds like you may be having a problem with your print settings. You may try posting this in the print problems forum as you'll find more experts on the subject in that section.
