Printing from APEX onto pre printed forms - not PDF

Hi
What is the best solution within APEX for printing. I am looking to print out data within an interactive report record onto a piece of pre printed stationary. So fields from the database will need to be positioned on certain positions on the print out
How can this be achieved? I have seen examples generating a PDF but I do not want a PDF to be generated or stored when the page has been printed.

Or Oracle Reports as a cheaper option, if your infrastructure is suitable.
Done that for pre-printed forms before - pixel perfect, just not for APEX. But it's easy to call Oracle Reports from APEX.

  • Can I use Oracle Report Server to print from APEX? How?

    Hello, we have Oracle Application server, Oracle Report server and now we just installed APEX and doing a pilot project. Since we don't have BI Publisher, how can we use our Oracle Report server to print from apex report? Can it be done and if yes where can I get some detail info that I can share with our DBA?
    I have in past asked questions about the printing issues but I have been refered to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html#01 section 5 which talks about another installation.
    Thanks so very much for any info.

    You can use FOP, but the formatting of the xsl (Xml Style Sheets) takes a little work. If you have the Oracle Reports server up and access to the development product, why not go that route?
    You want the filtering and sorting and searching, yes, but then you also want to print them out.. Then you would probably be best looking at replacing the Oracle Reports setup with BI Publisher. You can convert Most your reports over to bi publisher layouts easily.. (I have heard of some reports that do require recreating in Bi Publisher from Oracle Reports..)
    Then you can have your Apex Reports and call Bi Publisher from APEX and everyone wins..
    Is your Oracle Reports stuff used by non-APEX applications, that could be modified to use Bi Publisher?
    Thank you,

    try print from Microsoft Word XP: printer (HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z) lops off top of random lines

    CD didn't work. Download software, didn't work when it came to plugging into usb port, don't even get a BACK button, nothing. Printer not recognized by laptop. Did all the solutions/uninstall/install etc. Printer is working though, prints out the exact same thing each time I press the green button on the printer, but is not connected to laptop. So it's not the printer, it works.
    Now what?

  • I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer.  When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled?  Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

    I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer.  When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled?  Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

    When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

    Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
    Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

  • Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.

    I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
    I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
    The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
    If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
    Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
    At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!

    I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
    I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names.

  • PDF Printing from APEX 4.0

    Hello
    I have a requirement to create PDF reports from websites created using Apex and /or PL/SQL. The reports are a mixture of formatted text, pictures and charts.
    Using BI is not an option due to the cost.
    What do you recommend and where are I find simple instructions to follow (I lhave imited system / DBA skills).
    Thanks for looking. All help very welcome
    Regards, Pete

    There are multiple options..
    If you want a BETTER RESPONSE, please include the following information in your questions here:
    Version of APEX?
    App Server being used?
    Browser being used?
    Why this is important is, there are FREE plugins for APEX 4.x that will produce PDF's. There is also FOP which is included with APEX as a free print engine..
    Thank you,

  • My hp psc 2410xi photosmart will not copy. I can print from the computer. Printer goes thru motions

    Printer goes through the motions of copying documents, but they are totally blank when they leave machine. I have new ink cartridges, and can print from computer?
                       Thanks

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your HP Photosmart 2410xi printer will not copy. I am happy to help!  When you make a copy with the printer, and lift the lid during the process. Do you see a light come on, and the scanner bar move?  In the meantime, I would recommend to do a hard reset, by going to this post, How to perform a Hard Reset, by . It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well. Try the copy again. I would also make sure, that you are using Genuine HP Ink Cartridges, and that none of the Cartridges are empty or low. Hope this information is helpful!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • When I recently upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1, whenever I try to print from the internet, the printing is in greyscale, not in black ink and the color is in half-tones. Please tell me what to reset . Thanks..

    I can't get my printer to print from the internet in full color and black inks. It only comes out in greyscale, or half the amount of color.

    Thanks for your help Matt, but after trying the "Reset Printer setting" and "reset all printer settings" instructions, I am still unable to print in full ink from Firefox. I have to go to Safari and print anything I want from that browser. Any other advice you can send me to? I should have not upgraded my Firefox. I was doing it to apply for jobs as I couldn't get into a few sites. Thanks again!

  • Why are some objects not printing from Illustrator after I print to PDF?

    Hi,
    I've printed a large Illustrator CS6 document to PDF (using Adobe PDF setting in print dialog box), and it looks just fine when I view the PDF. The problem is that some lines do not print when I try to print the PDF on paper. I've tried adjusting settings and printing to the PDF in different ways, but can't figure it out. Everything looks great on the screen, but some lines are missing once printed to paper. Others have tried printing the PDF as well and are also getting missing lines.
    Any suggestions?! Thanks!

    I've tried selecting print all layers, and I'm also tiling the pages to a custom page size. I've left all the other settings at default. Everything looks perfect on screen, but parts of the same object do not print. I tried to attach a screen shot but am getting an error. Basically each page has a border around it, and one side of the border is not printing on certain pages.
