Upload PDF directly to printer via Citrix from off-site computers

Is it possible to upload PDF documents directly to the newer HP printers, especially the business printers and copiers (MFDs)? We have HIPAA-containing data that home-based users must print at work, and therefore cannot be sent via the cloud.
Our current printer vendor supports uploading PDFs directly, which our users are using. The workflow involves printing via PDFCreator, then opening the web interface print tab of the device they are printing to and uploading, via a browse button, the PDF document. The connection is handled through our Citrix remote access servers, everything is encrypted, and all data stays out of the cloud.
Because HP's ePrint is in the cloud, we cannot submit HIPAA-containing data via that route.
If no current HP products have that capability, can it be added? I would think a firmware update to have an upload option would be very doable. It appears that the ability to print PDFs is already present via ePrint--this would only be another way to submit a print job.
Our current printer vendor's device functionality includes being able to upload and print other print-ready formats, including .PCL and .PS files, but we aren't using that capability currently. It would be nice to be able to upload .DOC/.DOCX formats directly.

Hey SPS64,
Thank you for participating in the HP Consumer Support Forums! The steps you desire are not going to be found on Consumer grade printers, but may be able to be found on some of the Enterprise level printers from HP. I would advise posting this question on the Enterprise printing boards where there are many experts who would be willing to assist with your question.

Can i upload photos directly to ATV via USB port

Hello,
Can I upload photos directly onto ATV via the USB port on the back of the ATV. In other words is it possible to bypass the computer and iTunes? I've been trying but can't figure it out.
Thanks

The short answer is no. All ATV content has to come from either an iTunes library or directly from the iTunes store on the ATV. The USB port on the ATV is essentially useless to the end user. About the only thing it's good for is to connect a USB fan if your equipment cabinet is too hot.

I am trying to connect to an HP 4550N printer via ethernet from an iMac with OSX 10.6 but cannot print.

Connecting to Time Capsule from off Site (Windows 7)

Hi All!
First off, thanks for reading my post, it means a lot to me to get such great help from the community.
I have a Time Capsule (2TB) setup in my home with my most of my Windows 7 user profile redirected to it. It was just purchased over the weekend from the Apple store after my 7 year old Apple router finally died, so it should be the latest and greatest. I have setup DynamicDNS and can connect to my time capsule using the dynamic host name from inside my house (capsule.notmyrealdns.net). So, to reiterate in case I'm not being totally clear, if I map a network drive in Windows from my home desktop to \\capsule.notmyrealdns.net\hammonjj, I can connect to that share without any problems. For reference, hammonjj is the username I created in the Time Capsule management utility and TC created a share called hammonjj, which is what I am connecting to.
However, from off site I can not map this drive. When I try to map it, I get a network error, which I have listed below (I am checking the box to connect using different credentials, btw). I have tried to ping my DNS host name and it both responds and kicks back the correct IP for my home connection. I have also double checked both my usename and password and have since gone under port mapping and added both Personal File Sharing and Windows File Sharing to the list of exceptions and checked the box for enabling access over WAN in the Airport Utility; I chose a random public port, but kept the default private ports.
The error:
Windows cannot access \\capsule.notmyrealdns.net\hammonjj
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise.......blah blah blah.
Thanks again for the help! I'm sure this is just a silly oversight on my part, but I can't seem to figure it out on my own. I bow before the Apple Community!
James

It is not an oversight on your part.. you cannot connect via SMB over the internet.. practically every ISP .. certainly any responsible ISP blocks the port otherwise just about every windows system on the internet would be fully exposed as people share folders without passwords.
Use vpn .. that is the only secure way from windows.

How to configure Mail to send from off-site

I am trying to configure Mail on a laptop that will send and receive email both went it is connected to the servers ISP (on site) and when the laptop is connected to a non-site ISP. In other words when I am in the office I am connected to the ISP that is hosting my mail server. When I am out of the office and using an ISP that is not hosting the mail server. I have configured Mail such that I can send and receive email when I am onsite. When I am offsite I can receive email but not send it. In order to fix the problem I have tried configuring the SMTP to require password authentication using a couple of different server ports (i.e. 25, 110 & 587) but have been unable to send from off site. At this point I am at a loss as what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If the off-site ISP doesn’t let you send no matter what port you use, there is little, if anything, you can do about it. Many ISPs, however, only block port 25 for all traffic outside their own network. Something that usually works in those cases is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but the outgoing server in question must listen to that port for this change to work.
If the off-site ISP allows sending on port 587, but the outgoing server you want to use doesn’t listen to that port, you may solve the problem by using an independent authenticated SMTP server that allows sending from any mail account no matter where you are.
A Gmail account, for example, would allow you to do this. Instructions for setting up a Gmail account are provided here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
After setting up the Gmail account in Mail and checking that it works, you can use Gmail's SMTP server to send from your other mail accounts as well:
1. Log into your Gmail account on the web.
2. Go to Settings > Accounts.
3. Enable the addresses you want to be able to send from, and let Gmail validate them by verifying that you do indeed own them.
4. For each mail account you want to send from using Gmail’s SMTP server, in Mail go to Preferences > Accounts, and choose Gmail’s SMTP server from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu.

Adobe Files .pdf is not printing in Citrix Session

We open a .pdf files and tried to print in my citrix session but nothing happens. Not showing the file is printing and no printed pdf in my printer.
Adobe Reader - version 9.4.1

Strange! I also have the Reader 9.4.1 Setup and able to print in the citrix session. Do you mean Citrix session as accessing the published app from URL ?
Please check that you have access to the printer. And the printer is working fine with the other products.

PDF Header not printing via Concurrent Manager.

XML Publisher 5.6.3
Oracle Financials 12.0.6
RTF Template created by Word 2003
When submitting a XML Publisher report request via concurrent manager and choosing a pasta driver printer to print too.
The report prints with no header details.
If you view the PDF report from the concurrent manager by clicking the view output button. The PDF document does have a header and if you print this PDF report via internet explorer the header does print out.
i.e. No header printer via oracle financials concurrent manager
But header printed out via internet explorer
so PDF is getting printed by Linux through CC Manager and no header details appear in the print out.
Any ideas?

All of the complex report logic is handled in your Oracle Report (rdf) file.
If your Oracle report is working OK, then this report should be generating XML.
After running your report, go to the View Requests window. Highlight your request, and click the Diagnostics button. Then click the 'View XML' button. If you see XML data, then you should be OK.
When I faced a similar issue, it was because the '1 step' process didnt work for the particular report I was using. The '1 step' process doesn't work for every report. Which report are you using?
If the report is submitted via a form (not the concurrent manager request form), then you probably need to use 2 steps to produce the desired output.
For more information, see the following thread:

No printing via Bonjour from Windows

Windows PCs can't print via my Tiger server using Bonjour. The printers shared by the server are visible in the Bonjour add new printer wizard. When printing the jobs are sent from the Windows PCs without error messages. But nothing gets printed.
The same queues work fine from Macs.
Looked for the print server logs, but the only logs for the queues are for Appletalk, and they are empty. The server is set not to share any of the print queues via Appletalk.
Tried printing via SMB, but no luck there either.
Printing from Windows directly to the printers using Bonjour works.
Tested turning of the server firewall, but this did not help.
Any ideas waht could be wrong?

Since you can print directly to them from Windows via Bonjour I am wondering how you are sharing the printer from the server. My guess is that it is via 'Print & Fax' of System Preferences. If the printers support LPR, then I would suggest you configure the server printers this way. Go to Server Admin > Print > Settings and enable LPR and 'Show name in Bonjour'. This will give you more control over the printers.
If you have shared the printers this way and since SMB also fails, then I would ensure you haven't enabled print quotas for the queue. This can make jobs vanish.
Even if you are using 'Print & Fax' to share the printer, you still should be able to see the cups error log. In the Server Admin, select Print, then select Logs and then for the Show menu select error log. This is the same log for both methods of shared printers and this should give some clues as to why the Windows spool files are not printing.

Print PDF Directly to Printer - Margins cut off

Hello,
I am using an application called PeopleSoft, and we generate out report files in PDF format.
If I direct the output file directly to the printer then the right and bottom margins are cutting off the document text.
Whereas, if I direct the printer out put to a network drive, then open the PDF in an PDF reader of Acrobate, then print the file it works fine.
Can anyone explain to me why this is so, and if there is a way to change the margins, when sending the output to the printer. To ensure the entire document is printed.
Thanks in advance,
Matt.

Yes, same PDF file.
I run a batch process that generates the report output file, I can choose to direct the output directly to a network printer, or save it to a network drive.
If I choose to direct the output run to the printer then the right margins and bottom margin is cutting off the text of the actual report file.
However, if I direct the output to be saved to the network drive, then open it using Adobe Reader, then print it, the entire report document fits easily within the margins and no text is being cut-off.
I lack the technical knowledge to explain how/why this is happening.

Strange artifact in Illustrator PDF, only when printing via Adobe PDF printer

Hello,
I've run into a strange issue with an artifact in a PDF generated by Illustrator using the Adobe PDF printer. When I "Save As" a PDF, this artifact does not show. Using the same job options, printing via Adobe PDF creates this artifact. The object is behind the content and it's a semi-transparent box that was manipulated using Free Distort. It's behind everything so shouldn't even show up, but the outline is showing up for some reason. In the past I've had similar issues with artifacts and I changed my Adobe Compatibility to the latest version, and it fixed the issue, but that didn't work this time. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks,

I had to zoom in to see the faint lines you are talking about and they are there. As a test, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer.

Solution to print via hardwire from iPAD to HP 470 printer?

Solution to print via wire or wireless to my HP 470 printer?

Robert-
If your HP 470 has the WiFi option, an iPad App like Print n Share may work for you.
If it does not have the WiFi option, you can connect it to a computer and share it as AirPrint over WiFi using a program like Printopia for the Macintosh. For a free solution for either Mac or PC, search the web for AirPrint Activator.

Uploading PDFs to my iPad via iCloud

I don´t know, and I wonder, if it´s possible to upload from my Mac directly to my iPad via iCloud a document like a PDF without using iTunes.
Regards.

This is Apple BS 100%. They used to be a friendly company that made products that were designed to help their customers. Now its run by banksters who dont a S??T about the customer or the products and this has gotten worse since jobs passed away.
I paid for my mobileme/icloud - Ipad - iphone - MBA - MBP etc etc et effing cetera. Why do I have to pay any more for goodreader or iwork. Its not about the 2.99 or whatever it is its the point.
Its a sad state of affairs and I Hope that someone comes up with something to start erroding Mac market share sometime soon.

Photoshop: Printing: via Mac from printer on Windows 7

Hi all,
First off - if you know a better place I should be posting this question, please inform.
I'm trying to print from Photoshop onto a printer connected via a windows computer. I've tried everything and am nearly at the point of paying somebody 40 bucks to just set it up for me. This is a pain since I have to interrupt the person working at the windows computer just to send an order to print.
Printer: Epson Stylus Pro 9600 Ultrachrome Ink
Connected to: Windows 7 Computer
Shared to: iMac 10.8.3
Set windows to workgroup
Made sure workgroup same name in Mac
Set all shared settings in Windows to everyone and allowed everyone to make all changes
Set printer sharing settings to everyone and allow to print/manage.
Tried connecting printer from Mac finder: Go > Connect to Server > smb://[IP address] AND smb://[user@computer]/users
Tried connecting printer from Print & Scan section of System Preferences: + > Windows > workgroup > jim-pc (computer name). It asks me for a name and password at this point. No name and password combination works. Tried "guest" "guest" and that seemed to work until I tried printing. Instead of completing the print job it states something like "Waiting for Authorization". I tried authorizing as "guest" "guest" but the print disappears from the queue.
Tried connecting from Print & Scan: + > Advanced > Type: LPD/LPR Host of Printer, Device: Another Device, URL: "Ipd://[IP Address]. Left name as IP address. Tried Generic PostScript Printer - didn't work. Tried Epson S9600 drive (updated it)- didn't work. Tried Generic PCL Printer and it actually printed a test page! It left the printer running like it was thinking, though. When I went to print from Photoshop it no longer worked and I couldn't print a test page. I tried the same thing with changing the name to no avail.
I'm completely at a loss. I've gone over all of the options I've found on other forums. I spent 6+ hours (yep) trying to figure this out on the weekend. If anyone has any ideas, helpful links and/or step-by-step guides I would be grateful. If you need more information or you're part of a site like crossloops and want that $40... I think I'm at that point now!
Thanks for reading,
Riley

You will need a print server software on your Windows machine. There is no way to print directly via a Windows share from Mac.

Placed PDFs don't print correct size from InDesign CS2

I am using CS2 stuff on Mac OS (leopard) with Epson RX680 printer. It's a large document with several placed files. Two are PFD files (color) that print too large. Looks fine on the screen but the printed document looks like it's trying to tile. (Page is divided into four sections with large section of file printed into each.) These placed files print fine from Acrobat and PhotoShop. Also, the document has several placed PDFs that print great. Help. Am on deadline.

Thanks a bunch. Long story short, I printed from Acrobat in high res,

What a crime. It may look good on screen and even off your desktop printer, but you've now rasterized everything and captured the printer dots from your printer, which should reproduce quite nicely on an imagesetter.
The answer to this kind of problem is never to rasterize the PDF, but to find out what's wrong with the print driver or printer, but if you're going to take a shortcut, the least you should do is open the PDF in Photoshop at 600 ppi or (preferably) higher and save as a psd or tiff. Scanning is a waste of time and will only degrade things more. If the PDF is choking the printer, odds are pretty good a bitmap image with enough resolution to preserve some semblance of the vector data is going to do it too, by the way.
