Printing of To-dos

Hi. I keep a simple list of to-dos in iCal and I want to print them out. They have no due dates. Now, the 'print preview' given in iCal's Print... dialogue box looks perfect. However, when I actually print it out I only get the 'Events & To-Dos" header and then a blank page. Where have I sinned that I should be so punished?
Thanks, PP

My DOS app. requires IPX. Would this still be OK with NDPS?
Thanks Anders.
Eric.

I hava a class that's print out in dos now I want it....

I hava a class that's print out in dos now I want it to print out in a Gui application or applet instead how do I do.
Here is the class file:
import filenet.vw.api.*;
public class QueueSample extends Object
public QueueSample(VWSession vwSession, Logger logger, String queueName)
QueueHelper queueHelper = null;
VWQueue vwQueue = null;
try
logger.logAndDisplay("\n~ Starting QueueSample execution.");
queueHelper = new QueueHelper(vwSession, logger);
if (queueName != null)
vwQueue = vwSession.getQueue(queueName);
else
String[] queueNames = queueHelper.getQueueNames(false);
if (queueNames == null || queueNames.length == 0)
logger.log("No queues found.");
return;
else
// iteratively get queues until first one with available elements is found.
for (int i = 0; i < queueNames.length; i++)
vwQueue = vwSession.getQueue(queueNames);
if (vwQueue != null)
if (vwQueue.fetchCount() > 0)
break;
// clear our reference
vwQueue = null;
if (vwQueue == null)
logger.log("Unable to retrieve a queue!");
return;
else
// display the contents of the queue
queueHelper.displayQueueContents(vwQueue);
catch (Exception ex)

logger.log(ex);
else
ex.printStackTrace();
finally
if (logger != null)
logger.logAndDisplay("~ QueueSample execution complete.\n");

try
// did the user supply enough arguments?
if (args.length < 3 || (args.length > 0 && args[0].compareTo("?") == 0))
System.out.println("Usage: QueueSample username password router_URL [queue_name] [output_file]");
System.exit(1);

I might sound stupid now but as far as I can gather you have a class that prints your exceptons out to dos. You would like to apply this class in an Application /Applet so that YOu can print out to a screen that you have designed. If that is the case just instantiate and intialize that class to the Application / Applet where you would like to display it. What is so difficult?
getYourLabel/textarea.setText("Info that you wanted printed in gui / applet");
//Don't use System.out.println('"...");Also another thing if it is what I suspect then you have to go and study your theory again.

Printing ICal to dos in priority or manual order

Hi, its my first post on these forums and I wonder if anyone can help.
I have just started using ical's to do list facility to keep on top of all the outstanding jobs requiring actioon by the department I work in. On screen, I have arranged them into a manual priority order (most urgent job top of list, etc).
I was hoping I could print this list out and take it into a weekly team briefing session and go through it with my colleagues job by job.
However, when I try to print the list, the to dos are shown in an illogical order and not as they appear on screen.
Although I can arrange my to dos on screen by title, due date, alphabetically, manually, etc, they do not print in this order (i.e. the order I am viewing them in).
I have checked the obvious preferences and there seems to be no options for doing this. Am I missing something or is it just not possible?
Any advice woule be grealtly appreciated. I am using 10.4.7.

I had the same problem and I got my To Dos to appear when I clicked on the To Dos by Priority column header and checked/unchecked the Hide Items outside Calendar View option. (Doesn't seem to make any difference whether it is checked or unchecked ... it displays all of the items ... at least until restart iCal ... then it is a bit unpredictable.)
I also have intermittent problems when I create or change a new Event. Sometimes the change does not appear until I move off the page that I am displaying and come back (e.g. move forward a week in week view and then back.)

Printing from a DOS application to Adobe PDF Printer

I have been asked to provide reports from a legacy DOS application to PDF and of course decided to use my Adobe PDF Printer that came with the copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard I purchased. I am running Windows XP.
I am able to overcome the obvious problem of mapping LPT1 to the Adobe PDF Printer, however, all the DOS print jobs just sit there in the queue and do nothing. I have tried forcing a form feed within print processor but Adobe keeps overwriting the processor used with standard RAW.
What do I have to do create PDF's from DOS based print jobs?
I apologise if this question has been asked before and I have not managed to find it on searching through.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

This is not going to work. The printing architecture just doesn't do
what you want it to do.
The PDF printer works because a Windows program uses GDI (a
programming interface) to describe what it wants to print in graphical
terms. This gets converted to PDF. What you are hooking into in the
DOS world is just that part of the printer that carries the already
formed printer file to the printer hardware.
There may be hope if your DOS application is capable of printing to a
PostScript printer. If so, you can capture the stream and use
Distiller to convert it directly.

Printing from a Dos Program which uses LPT1 running a Virtual XP under Windows 7 Professional.

The Virtual XP uses the printer assigned to Windows 7 Professional by using Microsoft Terminal Services so you see a TS... pointing the the printer
in Windows 7.
It works fine in the Virtual XP system.
When you open the DOS application to print you must first do a Net Use lpt1:
\\Virtual XP computer name\Shared name you assigned to the printer you want to use /persisent:yes
This works well when you are running in a regular XP machine, but will not work from the Virtual XP machine running under Windows & Professional.
I believe it has to do with the fact that the Virtual XP machine is connecting to the Windows 7 printer that is connected via a Net Use command
for the TSclient prn12 pointing to the Windows 7 HP network printer.
Has anyone encountered this situation and if so is there a way to correct it.
The error message I get in the DOS application says the printer is offline or not connected.

Have you tried to share the printer over the network in the Windows 7 environment - and then do a net use from inside the virtual machine (rather than using the terminal services printer redirection)? Note that for this to work you will need to be using
a direct network connection on the virtual machine - and not shared networking.

How to print crystal report through DOS

Can we print a crystal report from report viewer in text mode for dot matrix printer through command prompt

Hi
I dont think there is a specific method for printing CR in DOS.
Try the following procedure:
first make a .txt file of the report and on the click execute a .bat file which should contain the command for printing to lpt1 the required generated .txt file.Use Shell() to execute the bat file.
I hope this works for you

Print Current iCal To Dos

I would like to print a list of my current to dos. How do I do this?

Please can you help? I know how to print the 'List' view from ICAL to show to dos but it seems very limited.
I really need to see the to dos in the order shown in ICAL, i.e. if I sort them by priority or by calendar this should be how they print, but they seem to show in a random order? Also the priority does not show on the printout which I want to be able to see.
I would prefer to just print my to dos with little or no calendar info. If I choose to show no all day or timed events, none of the to dos with due dates show on the printout. If I just show a couple of days worth of calendar only the to dos with due dates in this period show on the print, when I want to see them all. Also to dos with due dates that are past do not show. All a bit frustrating. I've started duplicating any to dos where I want an alarm as an event and then also having the to do without a due date so it shows when printed.

ICal 2.0.3 (1055) - How to print To Dos List in Correct Order

I've entered To Dos in the following format - "mm/dd text". For example,
08/01 Shopping
10/12 Complete Assignment
11/03 Go to School
and so on. The items in the To Do list appear in the correct "mm/dd" sequential order in iCal.
Problem: When I print my To Do List using "View" the order of the items in the list are not in the same order they appear in the To Do List in iCal, e.g.,
08/01 is printed first
07/19 is printed second
07/15 is printed third
08/03 is printed next
and so on. I've tried sorting the To Do List in ICal by date, manually and the other options but the order of the items are still printed out of sequential order.
About the only thing I haven't tried to using "mm-dd" as the format for month and date, instead of "mm/dd". Maybe "mm/dd" results in some kind of hexidecimal sort of the items for printing.
Question: Is there any way to print the To Dos List in the same order they appear in iCal?
Thank you for your help!

It sounds like from your description that you're entering a date as a string in the todo description. Ideally you should be entering the date as the due date. This will help the sort order both in iCal and when printing. When you decide to print the To Do List, make sure View is set to List. Only check To Dos. In the time range, select the range you want to see. Anything without a due date will be printed under the heading To Dos without Due Date.

Printing to USB printer from DOS

I have been told that I can print from a DOS or Windows 2000/XP
workstation to a USB printer attached to a Windows workstation. The
program I am running is Accpac Plus DOS based version which is loaded on
the Novell Server. Accpac has older version HP print drivers, from what I
understand the USB printer somehow emulates the older print driver.
I am currently printing to a Canon BJC265SP printer connected by LPT1 to a
workstation, I would prefer to update to a later printer, but need to keep
the current version of Accpac and Novell.
I have Novell 4.11 SP9
The Novell tech I use does not know if this can be done. All help would be
appreciated.
Thanks

If you're able to put the printer in NDS you can route the jobs through a
queued object then to a NDPS object. This is done by configuring the pc
to print to a queue based printer, then with the same physical printer's
NDPS object add the queue name in the "Service Jobs From NetWare Queues"
field found under Jobs button - Spooling Configuration.
This allows older DOS apps to use the NDPS object.
Hope this helps.

Way to mimic DOS capture to file in Windows XP using NetWare print queue?

We have a Netware 5.1 network, and are trying to migrate our
workstations from Windows 98 to Windows XP Pro, but we are still using
a heavily customized and very necessary MS-DOS application. For many
things, including reports and other procedures, we typically use the
CAPTURE command to direct a printer port to a file (filename.txt). Wethen run a series or procedures and reports, and all output
accumulates in the filename.txt file until we close the file (end theCAPTURE).
Unfortunately, the CAPTURE command is not available in Windows XP. Sofar, we have not found a way to duplicate this print-to-file method in
Windows XP. We can setup a Generic printer in Windows XP that will
print to a file, but every time we print from the DOS window, Windowsprompts the user for a filename...so we must continually create new
files, instead of opening the print file and appending information
until we close the file.
There have to be other folks out there with this problem. Does anyoneknow how to direct an LPT port in a DOS window in Windows XP that
prints to a file until it is intentionally closed?
*** Is there a way to setup a NetWare print queue that prints to a
filename that can be changed on the fly? If we could do that, then itwould be possible to direct LPT1 to the print queue with "net use",
and the NetWare queue would handle the capture to file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

Print ical to filofax?

Does anyone know of a way in which I can print out my ical calendars, preferably "week to a view" on Filofax size paper i.e. 7cm wide by 10cm tall?

How can I sent a .prn file to my networked printer in windows 7

OS Windows 7, HP Photosmart 7510 wirelessly connected. The .prn is an old file created with s/w no longer applicable to WIn 7. Right clicking on the .prn file does not list the "Print" option.
I've read articles on using the Run and DOS cmd to use "copy /b" command, but can't make it work, using \\computername\printername. "Print" command doesn't work because I guess it's a network printer? (PRN not setup)
COPY /B C:\Users\Keith\Documents\My Docs\Reference\BackYardLandscaping\NWyard.prn \\KEITH-HP\HP Photosmart 7510 series (Network
Tells me syntax is incorrect? Tried substitution printer IP address for computername? didn't work.
There should be an easier way to send a file to a printer then using DOS commands? Tried dragging and dropping, didn't work.

>> ... I didn't realize the .prn file created were dependent on the type of printer ...
Most (but not all) of the output originally intended for HP LaserJet (or clone) printers can be printed on newer LaserJet models, which (apart from the cheap 'host-based' models) usually support the PCL5, PCL6 and PostScript Page Description Languages.
But inkjet devices use a larger set ofPDLs (and, in most cases, not the same as those supported by LaserJet printers), so there is much more potential for incompatibility.
Some PCL Viewer applications (e.g. SwiftView, PCL Works) should be able to display the contents of your .prn file(s), and may be able to convert them to raster images which can then be printed on a different printer model.

hi . I had the simalar problems of my HP b209a-m printer not being seen on my wireless network> I could not add the printer and could not get the printer to join my network, I found this post at HP discussion and it worked!
Each printer has different options/settings but it seems like the general idea should work ok if you can reset printer back to factory settings and find Printer IP Adress.
This is for HP printers
1. On the printer navigate to the Wireless or Network menu.
2. Select Restore Defaults.
3. On your computer look for a wireless network named 'hpsetup' and connect to it.
4. Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to see its IP address. (on my b209a-m Printer the IP info was found by pressing the Wireless Icon)
5. Type the IP address into the address bar of a web browser to see the printer's internal settings.
6. Click on the Network tab and look for the Wireless Setup Wizard and run it.
7. The Passphrase is the password you use on your wireless connection.
8. Now change the network name on your computer back to your wireless network.
The printer will now be connected to your network. With your the computer backyour wireless network network, you can re-add the printer from System Preferences.
Hope this works--- it did for me.
