2 minutes wait before printing starts

Printing using applets.
Theres always a 2 minutes delay ( irrespective of the length of the job ) before the callback methods starts getting invoked.
I removed the printDialog( ) line , even then the delay exists.
Is it because of the secutiry manager ?
Any way to skip the delay ?
Thanks
Akif

What printer are you using? Possibly is it a printer that uses PCL? (print control language--like HP) If so, then it is a "FEATURE" in Java that is there by design and not a bug. (This is what I was told by Sun engineers, and yes, I know their technical explanation, but it still does not help.).

Photosmart 7510 takes 3 to 4 minutes before print starts windoows 7

When I click print the printer does not respond for several minutes. it then starts and prints normally. D link router wireless setup. Windows 7 home edition.

Hi,
Changing wired network name is not easy. I put up 2 options here:
(a) Using ePrint to send anything you want to print to the printer (ie send an email to it) or
(b) Use wireless for desktop to get same SSID, adjust the antenna on wireless card (of the PC) may help or try this:

Print blank pages befor content starts

Hi,
While printing html through content editor web part. It prints blank pages before content starts.
I have images in my html document.
When I set the width of img to 400 px it works fine..
but if I say width:100% it prints so many blank pages extra before content starts.
Anybody has any idea?
Please share
Thanks

Hi,
In HTML 4.01, the width could be defined in pixels or in % of the containing element. In HTML5, the value must be in pixels. Please check whether the image in a html5 page.
Here are some jQuery Plugins about printing page for your reference:

I the issue still exists, I suggest you provide your code and html page for further research.Thanks,

Printer rips through the whole document before it starts to print

Thank you everyone for the answers to my previous post. Another Postscript problem which we are now trying to solve,
is the following printer behaviour: getting our postscript datastream, printer first goes through the whole document,
ripping every page (or so it seems) and only then it starts printing the first page and further. Our datastreams are usually
large, tens thousandth of pages, so it takes very long before a printer starts to print. What could cause such a behaviour?
Something at the end of the file, which interpreter needs to take into account? Some special settings at prologue?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Yuliana

What you describe is not normal behaviour for PostScript implementations and is not something that is a feature of the PostScript language. The interpreter does not attempt to process the entire job prior to passing any of the rendered pages off to be imaged.
You give no idea as to what type or brand of PostScript printer is exhibiting this behaviour, but the behaviour is likely type and/or model and/or vendor-specific. Contact the technical support group for your printer or RIP vendor for specific answers to this question.

Hp LaserJet P3015 printer "waiting for printer to become available" message

Hello All,
I have searched through many message boards about this issue (some steaming back to as far as 2009) and I have yet to find a solution that has worked for me.
Background of situation:
In my office we have a dozen iMacs and Networked hp LaserJet P3015 printers. Most work perfectly fine with out issue. We are currently running 10.8.4 OS. There are a few issues that seem to be unique to users or types of iMacs. 1) Three brand new iMacs (the skinny ones that come without the CD drives) where showing a message prompting for the "printer operator group". I have that setting turned off but reguardless I added the user accounts to the "printer operator group" as well as the "printer admin group". After I did that the users started to recieve the message "waiting for printer to become avaible". When this message appears it never printers (I left it for a 20 minute period to no avail). I have tried a whole host of fixes with short term success but the issue keeps reoccuring. Here is a list of fixes I have tried:
What I have tried
1) I plugged the iMac directly into the printer via USB cable to install the drivers locally
2) I added the user to the printer operator group and the printer admin group
3) I checked all settings on both the printer and computer
4) I have removed and re-added the printer several ways (from the network and directly via UBS cable)
5) I checked the Ethernet connection to the printer (all are fine) (also eliminated the need for it by directly plugging her in via USB cable)
6) I have "power" shut down the printer
7) I restarted the printer settings on the network to eliminate any lingering issues
8) Made sure the software is up to date (which according to some message boards is what the problem is)
9) I have replaced both the actual Computer and Printer (with another brand new iMac), while additionally creating a new user account to eliminate hardware and faulty user settings as the culprit, as well as plugged the printer directly into the computer and removed it from the network.
10) I prayed to the IT gods
Other Notes:
I did see a solution from a message board that said to delete all "hp_" files in system/library/extensions and then directly plug the printer into the computer to install the drivers that way (which he said worked) but the guys also said that if he ran software update then the issue would re-occur. This seems to be counter productive as I like to keep all software up to date
What I have noticed:
- The issue seems to affect the newer iMacs in my office more then the older machines despite everyone running the same OS version
Thank you all so much in adavanced for your time reading my post. The issue has been extremely frustrating for both me and the end users and I appreaciate any help that anyone can provide (even if its just pointing me in the direction of another message board)
- Chris

You have not mentioned it but based on some of the things that you have said, I would assume that the Mac's are bound to a domain. So, for one of these Mac's, if you logged on locally and then created a print queue to the network printer, do you get the same message?

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.
adninjastrator wrote:
Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

MSI P4N SLI, Long wait before BIOS post? (nForce 4 SLI Intel)

Does anyone else have a P4N SLI? Or maybe you might just know anyway...
Everytime I boot the PC, before the BIOS POST even starts theres a long wait (insanely long, compared to other PCs and mobos I've had and used) around 45 sec to a minute, where nothing is shown on the monitor and the DVD and CD drives are constantly read (even though theres nothing inside em). Then the BIOS post comes and the rest of the whole process is fast as I could wish for....
Is that normal with the P4N SLI or maybe even with nForce motherboards?
If not, any ideas what it could be? (I tried stripping my pc down to barebones, minimal RAM, no extra cards, 1 hdd and 1 cd drive (and even without the cd drive) yet still it takes the same amount of time...)
Please help...
Thanks in advance.
my specs are as follows:
Intel P4 w/HT 3.0 Ghz LGA775 Land, 1 MB L2 Cache (530J)
Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS
3 GB DDR2 @ 533 Mhz
3 HDDs (1 WD Caviar 7200 RPM SATA I, 1 Maxtor 7200 RPM SATA I/II, 1 WD Caviar SE 7200 RPM SATA I/II)
GIGABYTE 3DAurora Case (this case has 3 x 120mm fans)
GIGABYTE 3D Cooler Pro Fan
2 SONY Optical Drives (1 DVD/CD-RW, 1 DVD+/-RW)
MSI P4N SLI mobo
2 x XFX 7900 GTs
Thermaltake Toughpower 600W PSU

Quote
Do you mean
1GB, 512MB, 1GB, 512MB?
Sorry, ya thats what i meant, 2 GB was a mistake. Its 1 GB, 512, 1, 512.
Quote
As stated before. Remove the 512meg sticks. To run properly, all sticks should be the same. Reason is due to timings and voltages. Also try to up the voltages to the cpu.
I removed the 512 sticks before, like I said, and I'm just running with the 2 x 1GB sticks, it hasnt had any positive effect on the long wait before POST. The voltage for the RAM is 1.8v right now as according to the BIOS, is that the correct value?
Did I mention that during this long wait my monitor is in sleep mode, then 1 short beep is heard, the lights on my keyboard reset as is usual on any PC and the BIOS does its POST (if i pause after the keyboard lights, its usually auto-detecting my HDDs, and optical drives). It's strange because during that long wait nothing is happening other than my cd drive and dvd drive intermittently flashing and my HDD light is constantly on....
The strange thing is this same setup was working perfectly fine on my old Intel D915GEV motherboard... and it also runs perfectly fine on this mobo too, once you get past the 1 minute+ waiting time...

HP Laserjet 3055 printer "waiting for printer to be available" after HP Printer Software Update 3.0

I have an HP Laserjet 3055 All-in-One Printer. It has been printing just fine from my iMac running OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks) until after the HP Printer Software Update, Version 3.0, that I installed on 1 Oct 2014. Although the 3055 is shown as connected/idle to my iMac via USB, after clicking "PRINT" for a document, the print queue status soon changes from "printing" to "waiting for printer to become available", and the printer never becomes available. I have tried rebooting everything (printer, computer, text software), checking USB cable connections and changing USB ports, deleting and re-adding the 3055 printer (numerous times!) even after resetting the print system, but could there be something inherently wrong with the latest HP driver (version 19.9 for HP Laserjet 3052)? Or is it possible something else is going on? In other words, I have exhausted all the solutions I've found in these and other forums to no avail.
I have tested this printer by connecting it to my MacBook Pro (also running OX 10.9.5) but without having installed the HP Printer Software Update, Version 3.0. (Hadn't gotten around to this update...) The printer works fine, even though the driver has the same version number--19.9 for HP Laserjet 3052. So could the version 19.9 driver in the latest HP Printer Software Update be corrupted? Is there any way to reinstall that driver? Or copy the 19.9 driver from my MacBook Pro and install it on the iMac? HP only refers to the Apple Software Update process for Mavericks compatible drivers for this printer. Can I manually uninstall the HP driver for the Laserjet 3055 from my iMac and then have the iMac download the driver again in the process of re-setting up the 3055? Any suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks for your suggestions. After creating a bootable back-up, I tried the first suggestion--downloading and re-installing the HP printer driver update kit for which you kindly provided the link--but to no avail. Before downloading the driver update kit, I "reset the printing system", clearing all the installed printers, queues, etc. After re-installing the HP printer drivers, I went to System Preferences>Printers & Scanners to once again add the HP LaserJet 3055 only to discover it was already listed as installed! This I find baffling, to say then least. I tried printing and again got the "waiting for printer to be available" message. I subsequently tried deleting and re-adding the printer, going through the printing system reset again, but still no-go.
I also tried another approach to adding the printer which perhaps will shed some light on the problem. After clicking on the "+" button to add the printer, I select the "HP LaserJet 3055" which shows up as available via USB. Then, instead of using the "HP LaserJet 3052" driver that automatically appears in the "Use" [choose a driver] field, I chose "Auto Select" to see what happens. As the computer processes this request, the status message changes from "Gathering printer information..." to "Waiting for printer to become available..." And, of course, it never becomes available. This strikes me as odd, that the printer set-up system "sees" the printer accurately enough to list it as available to add but can't find it with the "Auto Select" approach to getting the appropriate driver. Of course, when I simply go with the "Use HP LaserJet 3052" driver option that, naturally enough, is the one automatically suggested by the printer set-up system, the printer is "successfully" added. I say "successfully" in quotes because it never becomes "available" to print something.
Before I try your second suggestion--downloading and re-installing the 10.9.5 combo update--I wonder if it's possible that the printing system reset process is "broken". It's as though the reset fails to clear the printer queue, making it appear that there is a pending printing job that the system is waiting to be finished. Also, as noted above, I reset the printing system prior to re-installing the HP printer driver update kit and then, after installation, the HP LaserJet 3055 magically had already been added. This makes me wonder if the printer wasn't properly "cleared" from whatever makes up the printer System Preference process during the reset.
Any other thoughts?

Waiting for printer to become available - OSX 10.8.4

Hi, I foolishly allowed the HP printer updates on my imac running Mountain Lion, 10.8.4. I learned not to do that on Snow Leopard but suffered a lapse resulting in 'waiting for printer to become available' and when it is reset, it only prints every other page.
In Snow Leopard I could get rid of it by going into system - library and deleting HP; the status quo was restored. I cannot seem to do that in Mountain Lion and its really a pain!
I've tried deleting and reloading the printer to no avail. It's an HP 2550.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I don't think I did anything other than plugged the printer into the USB and more or less let it do its own thing, i.e. I selected it off the list and used the driver that was built into Snow Leopard - to be honest I didnt really think about it as it all just happily worked in the Apple fashion.
All was fine for some time until a standard Apple update included HP printer updates, which I installed but then found the issue that the printer would print one job but no more until powered down and back on, when again one job could be done and so on. I found it referred to here and elseweher and it seemed a common problem that was cured by going into Library/extensions and deleting all HP files. I then avoided updating the printers and if ever it did slip through, I could readily get rid of problem.
This is one of the discussions I looked up back then https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2649214?start=0&tstart=0 but there do seem to be plenty of others.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion three or four months ago and didnt need to do anything with printers as it just happily continued to work until a couple of weeks back when I inadvertently let the HP update slip through and found the printer 'waiting to become available' after each print job. I then attempted the method I had used for Snow Leopard but found the system is different.
I have got into the printers folder and deleted the HP files as well as resetting the printers in printer preferences but every time I plug the printer back in it seems to find the updated driver from somewhere! That then appears in the printers folder.
I'm afraid I don't know about the protocol etc., although I'm willing to give anything a try.
Thanks again

"Waiting for printer to become available" message

Each time I try to print to my Laserjet 1300, I see a message in the print queue stating, "Waiting for printer to become available." It never processes. I delete the job, try again but the same result. Result is same for short plain text, PDF or .jpg files. However, I can print a test page directly from the Laserjet 1300 printer. Have rebooted computer and restarted printer with no effect. Am able to successfully print to my backup HP Deskjet F4180. Am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.6. All software updates have been made. Thoughts?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If you are using Snow Leopard and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall <<<< Scrubber Option
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Finally, reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

"Waiting for printer to become available" LaserJet 3390 OSX 10.8.5

I have had my LaserJet 3390 for years and it has worked great. I have a MacBook Air running OSX 10.8.5. According the the documentation I've seen, I can't download a specific driver, but there is a set of HP drivers that gets installed and updated through the Mac's Software Update. Occasionally, I see an HP printer driver update. After I installed the last one (I think it started soon after, but not just after) I started getting the "Waiting for printer to become available" message that never seems to clear. I can't print a thing. Very frustrating!
I've tried:
1) Repair disk permissions, delete the printer, reinstall the printer. No dice.
2) I've looked in Software Update to either reinstall the HP printer drivers or to install a previous version. No dice--can't find it anywhere.
Any advice?

I am really sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Printer forcing a preview page before printing

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 (my computer is Windows 7 home premium) and it worked great until a couple weeks ago, perhaps as result of my computer upgrading itself to IE 9, but I don't know.
Suddenly it started forcing open a Preview Page, making me wait (sometimes very long times) for the preview window to open, and then I had to click once again to actually start the printer. It is very annoying to have to wait endlessly for the window to open up, and then it's another click to actually start. It is wasting a lot of time and making the whole process much more cumbersome and tedious.
How can I go back to my printer starting immediately without all these in-between steps?

Hi there sorry to learn that you are facing this problem.
Are you still facing this issue? If you are I will do my best to help you.
Have you upgraded the firmware of your printer lately; you can get the latest firmware in the main support page for your printer
This is the main support page for your printer, GO HERE Go to software and drivers download and select your operating system. You should also upgrade the firmware of the printer.
If you are not experiencing this issue any longer, May you let me know, your time and courtesy, will be deeply appreciated.

IDVD ejects dvd disc one minute early, before burning is completed. Why? What can I do to fix this?

iDVD ejects the dvd disc one minute early, before burning is completed. Why? What can I do to fix this? I have checked project via mapping and there are no problems with it. I have previewed the entire project and it runs fine.

Good morning,
There could be a few reasons why the burn doesn't finish. iDVD needs a lot of hard disk space to create the DVD -- 10-15 Gigs is starting to get low and under 5 G is virtually impossible. Reduce the load on your Mac by quitting other applications while you're trying to burn. Also, you may wish to break down your workflow into two steps (I do this routinely):
1) After you're satisfied in iDVD -- use the Save As Disc Image command rather than going directly to burn. This creates a virtual DVD which you can mount and play on your Mac.
2) Second step creates the physical DVD from the disc image. I use Roxio Toast to copy the disc image, but Apple's Disk Utility also works to burn the disc image. Use good quality discs -- Verbatim is often recommended; I've been happy with Sony DVD-R as well.
Here are more ideas: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11269202#11269202

LiveCycle Newbie: Validate Before Printing Form

I have a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro that I have brought into LiveCycle to add print and emails buttons to. However, I need a specific functionality added to the standard "Print" button. It is a legal form that has required fields and the client needs to fill in all the required fields on the form BEFORE printing and signing it. We have had problems in the past with clients not filling in all the required fields before sending it back to them. So, I need to somehow make the print button check to make sure all the required fields are filled in and send a warning message and/or prevent printing if all the required fields are not filled in. Is there a way to do this?
I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 and I am VERY new to this program so the simpler the solution the better.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi
I would add another fake print button over the top of the existing one but just add a standard button not a print button.
then to the click scripting event in the script editor add something like the below
if ((TextField1.rawValue == null) or (TextField2.rawValue == null) & (CheckBox1.rawValue == "1")) then
xfa.host.messageBox("You must enter the required data to be able to print this form")
else
PrintButton1.execEvent("click")
endif
as you are relatively new to this. Incase the above it giberish to you I will try to explain what the above is doing.
the above is an if statement using formcalc (which is the default on button objects)
as this code is inserted in to the click event (you can see what event you are looking from the dropdown at the top left of the script editor window.... make sure click is selected, and formcalc is set in the drop down to the right of the script editor window.
each bracketed command e.g. (TextField1.rawValue == null) is address a single field in your form. You will need to make sure you adjust these names and the path to these names so it may end up looking like (Form1.subform.TextField1.rawValue == null).
A quick tip to ensure you have the right path is with the cursor in the script window move your mouse over the field you wish to address, hold Ctrl button and click the field. This will load the field path in to the script editor and all you have to add is the .rawValue portion of the command.
You require '==' because means 'is equals to' in formcalc
the null term means 'if the field is empty'
if you have checkboxes that require to be ticked you must address them and look for a value of 1 (as in the example) as as default when a checkbox is selected it has a value of 1.
you can use or commands or & commands between expressions.
please note all the comments together require brackets round them hence the double brackets at the start and end of the expression.
once you have added all the required expressions to the top line
the second line is saying if the statement returns a true value e.g. in our example a true value would be returned if TextField1 or TextField2 empty AND the checkBox1 is not ticked
then this will pop up a message box saying you have not entered the required fields to print this form
then the else statement says to click the print button for the user.... which will print the form as the print button does now.
I know it may seem complicated but it honestly is not that difficult.
Feel free to come back to me if you need any further help.
Regards
Graham

Get value before print anything

Hello guys,
I would like to know, how to get a value from database BEFORE the form starts any printing. I mean, where do I have to put my code?
Or what part of a form, is executed first (before printing) so I can put my code right there,
Thanks,

you need write print program,you get the data from tables to internal tables.
then you pass internal table data to Smartform FM.
Use Example code :
Program : SF_EXAMPLE_01
Smartform : SF_EXAMPLE_01
Reward Points if it is useful
Thanks
