AIX and Printers

Dear All, I have a question on Printers in SAP. Currently we are running R/3 and we are using Infoprint as our Output Management System (OMS) for several years now. I am not sure why InfoPrint was selected as the choice for OMS in R/3. We are evaluating to see if we can eliminate InfoPrint and just use the AIX Print/Spool Management when we upgrade to ECC. We have some bar code Printing from SAP. Does AIX provide all the capabilities for Printing from SAP ECC (Netweaver). Please let me know. Any reference to supporting document is appreciated. Thanks
Regards
Gabriel Bertrand

I don't know about bar code printing but we use AIX spooler for our printers and they are configured via AIX SMIT... we have never had any issues beside finding drivers for odd brands of printers...
Regards
Juan

  • Administrator cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hello, dear Colleagues.
    User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2. 
    If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below). 
    But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
    The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features"  with powershell
    scripts.
    $erroractionpreference = "continue"
    $colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
    ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
    If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
    Write-host $objPrinter.Name
    Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
    $objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
    $objPrinter.Put()
    It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
    Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
    At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
    + $objPrinter.Put()
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException

    Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
    Thank you.

    Hello, Alan
    Morris.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
    I've noticed interesting thing - if to
    check "Enable advanced printing features"
    manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
    feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
    and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
    Thanks.

  • Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

    I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
    same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
    Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
    The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
    7 machine or the print server XP machine.
    I would appreciate any help. Thank you

    Hi,
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    1.   
    Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
    How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
    permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
    2.   
    On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
    following items are turned ON:
    Network Discovery
    File and printer sharing
    And this one is OFF:
    Password protected sharing
    3.   
    Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.
    In addition,
    I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

  • Device and printers long time to open iprint printers

    Hi all,
    We have some laptops (windows732bit iprint client 5.92/5.94) that go offsite each night and have found that when opening devices and printers, or word etc that check the printers and can take a long time to respond/show the printers. No doubt this is because of the ipp printers installed from iprint, the less amount of network printers the quicker it opens etc.
    Is there a way to shorten/eliminate the timeout for checking of network printers at all?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    try the latest client there is a fix a "slow issue" not sure if it's the same issue that you have but worth a try:
    Fixes introduced in the 5.96 iPrint Client
    Print Spooler Crash with WinXP/Win7 and 5.94 iPrint Client. (See TID 7014728)
    iPrint client 5.94 slow updating windows printer properties page (Bug 865327)
    On these computers, what printer model is installed and what driver + version are they using?

  • Network printers take long time to show in control panel - devices and printers

    G'day,
    an annoying effect both on Win 8.1 and Win Server 2012 R2: after installing/connecting a network printer for a user, it takes about 10 minutes (sic!) till printer is shown in devices and printers...
    Printer is shown and can be used immediately after connect in word/notepad, but properties of printers can only be managed via devices and printers. Work around for setting standard printer: open notepad, click
    print and right-click printer.
    But we have to choose a special printer profile, which cannot be done else than devices and printers.
    Sometimes even previously installed printers do not show for minutes after logon...
    Restarting spooler: no effect
    Changing drivers: no effect
    Printers are Konica C554 series and 4700P series with Konica PCL drivers.
    Print server for network printers in Win Server 2012 R2 (VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2)
    No other network issues.
    Thanks and regards.

    Open the printer folder the spooler team built. It's hidden but available and will list just the printers not the devices.
    If the print shows up immediately, the spooler has the information.  You will be running the shell command to invoke the old UI.

    Enumerating into the Devices and printers UI is then the issue.

  • Windows 8.1 Devices and Printers Issues

    We have deployed a brand new Active Directory domain for a customer. ALL the servers without exception are Windows 2012 R2 and all clients are Windows 8.1 32bit VDI clients.
    The issue that we have is around network printers. 
    We are deploying 4 printers  from a Windows 2012 R2 Server via the print management/Deploy Printer and assigning that to a GPO. The printers are deployed to the Computers which should mean that the users get all 4 printers which they then should be
    allowed to set their default and personal settings for that printer.
    Our printers are deployed like this:
    1. Created security group
    2. Assigned VDI computers to the security group
    3. Created GPO to reflect security group
    4. Modify GPO to do security filtering based on computer group membership
    5. Deployed 4 x printers through Print Management to the GPO on a per machine basis
    However, on the users Devices and Printers screen we are not seeing the 4 printers. For some users they see duplicates of all 4 printers so e.g they can have upwards of 8 or more. Other users have no printers
    displayed whatsoever. The next time they log off or restart they then have a different amount of printers displayed.
    If they try and set the default then it will set and the next time they check the default may have moved to another printer even without logging off or back on.
    Now, where this gets strange is within an application such as MS Word 2013 or Notepad if they use the file and print menu the printers will be listed, even if the user has no printers displayed in Devices and Printers. If the users selects a printer then
    they can then print OK.
    If we check HKCU\Printers||Connections then the CORRECT 4 printers are showing as to what is being deployed via the GPO so I know that the Windows 8.1 terminals are receiving the correct printers from the GPO.
    To try and correct this over the course of the week we have deployed the printers via Group Policy Preferences to the user and then the PC to no avail. Currently we are using the Print management\Deployed Printers to deploy all 4 printers to the computer
    via the Computer GPO.
    I believe that this issue is related to the display somehow in Devices and Printers rather than a GPO or print server issue as we can see via the registry the clients are receiving the 4 correct mentioned printers as shown in the registry. 
    FYI: We only have around 30 users and all users are getting this problem. All users are receiving the same GPO's and have the same few apps installed, Office 2013, Adobe Reader etc.
    What we want is for the computers to receive all 4 printers. All users should be able to use all 4 printers but the user should be able to select their particular default, depending where they are located or what they are printing that particular day. Their
    particular default should persist after reboot. (We have 2 x Copiers and 2 x HP Laserjets) All users have redirected documents and desktop but the rest of the profile is on the VDI and persists after their reboot. The profile is not roaming as the user is
    assigned a particular VDI.
    After a week of scratching our heads with this we are open to suggestions and any would be appreciated. We have tried following the issues on this thread to no avail either as they still return.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g Devices and Printers Page Is Slow to Open

    Hello, I have HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, model N911g, installed as a wireless printer.  I have Windows 7 64-bit.  My Devices and Printers page takes over two minutes to open.  While I am waiting, if I go to Print Spooler Services and click Restart, the page opens right away.  Once the page is open, in the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus device, I ran Troubleshooter and it took about 1/2 hour to finish, and it reported and supposedly fixed a problem in the Print Spooler service.  The assigned Port looks like a recovered port.  However, if I restart the PC and try to open Devices and Printers again, the delay is still present.  I had trouble installing the HP program including the Scan to PC functionality, because response time was so slow.  Now it's installed and working, but the HP program is quite slow to open.  The spinning circle spins and then stops, almost like it has given up opening the program. Then several minutes later the program opens or the requested action begins. 

    Check the document I linked below. Step 6 might be the solution you are looking for but it will not hurt to start from the top.

  • How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

    How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

    CutePDFWriter is a third-party application, which Adobe doesn't provide support for. But, I did find the following on their website:
    "Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).
    You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15."
    Here's a link to their website:
    CutePDF :: Product :: CutePDF Writer
    So, it looks like it creates a PostScript file for you, but then you need additional software to convert the PostScript file to PDF.
    Best,

  • B209a not showing up in Win 7 Devices and Printers

    After troubleshooting some wireless connectivity issues - basically by uninstalling everything and reinstalling and reconfiguring, everything seems to be working - printing and scanning over wireless, solution center runs fine, etc. 
    During the setup I named the printer and it displays as the default printer in any print dialog from any application, and is visible to other computers on the network and functional.  
    But it just doesn't show up under the Devices and Printers control panel!  I added the printer here with no problem, but now I have two of them showing up in print dialogs.  Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? I'm not too concerned since everything is functioning correctly, but I like to have things in order. Thanks! 
    Edited to add: after some further investigation, the 'original" printer, along with the one I added under Devices and Printers, is showing up under the Network control panel in the networked printers section - but as  UPnP device! This I don't understand at all. Unless it's the card reader portion of the printer that it's seeing?

  • F4280 wireless printing windows 7 64-bit, not showing printer in "devices and printers"

    Hi,
    I am a little confused. Today I installed windows 7 64-bit on my acer 9423wsmi notebook. I installed my hp f4280 via a usb cable. It prints and scans. Now I try to install my wireless kit (came with the printer) which worked fine an vista 32-bit sp1. I looked up every driver etc. on hp.com and found the install guide for windows 7. Everything went as described and printing works even without the pc adapter. You might say what is the problem. Well I noticed the wireless (copy) isn't listed under "devices and printers". I found this a bit strange. I tried to install a printer via the windows wizard. But using the network option gives me the shared copy. And using a the usb02 virtual port to which the printer is connect yields the same result: a fully working printer but nowhere to be found in "devices and printers". I searched the internet for a solution but my search results get cluttered with support for the installation. 
    My questions:
    Is this normal on this system with these settings?
    Is there a way to let the printer appear in "devices and printers"? 
    Kind Regards 
    Carnelain

    Hi Flash,
    I still haven't fixed the problem. I assume you found this installation guide. If I follow this I still can't see the printer in "device and printers". But when I open a document (notepad, word) I can see the printer listed in the printer dialog. So I am able to print. Printer properties are a bit hard to reach but it works. I am still hoping some wizz kid from hp to come up with a solution . Keep me posted if you know something more.

  • Update to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working. Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working,  Same with scanner

    Help....
    Updated to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working.
    Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working.
    Same with F2100 scanner
    Am I glad I kept Windows desktop as without it I would be scre**ed now
    What is going on with this latest update as its like a return to Windows with things crashing or hanging up every few minutes????
    On a MacBook Air that has not been updated everything still works so what has 10.6.8 done and why won't the restore to 10.6.7 work?
    Steve

    None of those things you mentioned were what I suggested.
    I'm guessing the "ctrl click in printer preferences" means you Reset the Printing System?
    If so, that is what I would have suggested if deleting it by selecting the ( - ) button and then adding it with the ( + ) button.
    But, if HP has a fix, it likely needs to update its drivers.

  • I can't access shared drives and printers

    My home has been wired with ethernet cables, so there are ethernet jacks in every room. There is one central place where they all the ethernet cables meet to connect to a hub and a cable modem. At this central place I have a D-Link 802.11g router connected to the hub. At the other end of my home I have a Airport Extreme base station connected to an ethernet jack. I have WEP password on the base station.
    My problem is that when there is a password on the base station I can't access shared drives and printers. I can only acces them if I am connected with a wire or I connect to the secured (password) D-Link Wifi router that is connected directly to the hub.
    What do I need to do to be able to access the shared drives and printers and keep my base station secured?
    Thank you.

    Whether or not you can access devices on your cabled network via the Airport Base Station is not dependent on whether or not wireless security is configured on that base station. Instead, it requires disabling the router built into the Base Station. See the article ABS as a wireless access point
