Applying a different PPD to a specific printer

Anyone else run into this? I am trying to apply a specific PPD to a single printer agent that will use the internal renderer (a printer that isn't working with the default) via resolution 3 in TID 7013074 (https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7013074) making the assumption that process still works for version 1.1. The driver is applied successfully using that method, but it's only good for one print job. The next print job won't go through unless I go through the process again and reapply that PPD. I noticed that after applying the driver, but before sending a print job, that printer's entry in the iprintmobiledb.xml file contains a driverid line with the PPD I just applied. After a print job goes through, that line disappears.
We're running version 1.1 of the appliance. I've seen the same thing with two printers, a Ricoh Aficio MP2852 and a Ricoh Aficio AP610.

nope with 1.1 you use a different method. i'm sure it is in the 1.1 docs

  • I want to set default printer settings to be used only for a specific type of application, certain documents. All other print jobs should use a different default setting for the printer.

    I am printing a specific document from a web based application. This document need to be printed in landscape. So I would like to set the default settings for this specific printer to landscape. But for all other printers it should be portrait. But this does not seem to work. The browser picks the settings from the standard/default printer and uses this for all print jobs.

  • OIDH - User specific print control

    Hi Experts,
    In OIDH, we used to maintain user specific print control for the combination of Planning Plant & Planner Group.
    There following same entry was maintained in 2 different ECC instances(Testing & Quality)
    User - No entry(blank)
    Planning Plant - *
    Planner group - *
    Shop paper - No entry(blank)
    Output device - LOCL
    New Spool Request - enabled
    Print Immediately - enabled
    Delete after output - enabled
    In Testing environment, For a released work order, when i select Order-> Print -> Order, a pop up appears showing the entries of Shop papers.
    In Quality environment, For a released work order, when i select Order-> Print -> Order, a pop up appears mentioning "No user-specific shop papers are defined".
    Could you Pls let me know what could be the reason for the same User specific setting, Testing & Quality instances are behaving in a different way.
    I hope the Quality system displays the right output message for the above Config setting.
    Regards,
    Karthik Bhaskaran

    Please make changes in the following fields
    User - No entry(blank)  Instead of blank  " * "
    Shop paper - No entry(blank) Instead of blank  " * "
    Create the transport and move it to Quality and test it.
    Hope this helps.

  • OleAutomation Printing to Specific Printer Tray

      Is there a way to programmatically print pdf files with Adobe Acrobat or Reader ( via OleAutomation interface ) selecting ( programmatically too ) a specific printer tray ? Thanks.

    Use a printer that is set to use the desired paper tray by default. 
    If you are looking for dynamic switching of paper trays, one of the 3rd-party Crystal Report Managers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides functionality that allows you to control the splitting of Crystal report printouts across different paper trays.

  • Print crystal report to a specific printer tray

    Greetings -
    I need to print out a report to a specific printer tray, can you please let me know how I set it up?
    Thanks,
    Lava

    Hi Lava,
    According to what I can understand you would like to print the Crystal Report to a specific printer.
    In order to print the crystal report to a particular tray of a printer you need to set the printer from the Crystal Reports application.
    This can be done from u201CFileu201Dmenu->Print. Select the printer if it is already added else you can add anew printer.
    I hope this helps you.
    Regards,
    Prashant.

  • Scheduling a report to print to a specific printer tray

    I'm trying to schedule a report to print to a specific tray on a specific printer.
    The SDK permits me to specify the printer, using ReportPrinterOptions, but it just seems to always print to the default tray for each printer and there are no ways, that I've found, to specify a particular paper tray to print from.
    Normally this isn't an issue, but we have a client that has a special report that prints to special paper that's always available in the secondary tray of the printer.
    Have I missed something obvious here?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    You didn't specify the version of Crystal Reports you're using, the version of Visual Studio you're using, or which .NET SDK you're using. Assuming you're CR XI R2 (v11.5) with VS2003/VS2005 and the CR.NET SDK (reportdocument object) then you're looking for the CustomPaperSource property off of the PrintOptions class.
    You can search the forums for additional posts, but I found this one - [Setting PaperSource|Re: Setting PaperSource;. There may be others.
    You can also find information in the [CR XI R2 Developer Library|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]. Search on CustomPaperSource.
    There is a tutorial available under the [PrintOptions.CustomPaperSource Property|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/CrystalReports_dotNET_SDK/crsdk_net_doc/doc/crsdk_net_doc/html/crlrfCrystalDecisionsCrystalReportsEnginePrintOptionsCustomPaperSourceTopic.htm] search result.
    This should get you back on track.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher

  • How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

    Greetings,
    I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer.  The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc.   The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
    With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
    OpenPrinter(printername)
    StartDocPrinter(...)
    -----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
    EndDocPrinter(...)
    ClosePrinter()
    I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
    Is this possible with the Adobe SDK? 
    I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline.  This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
    Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.  
    Thanks a lot,
    Wayne

  • Printing to specific printer and displaying report

    Hi,
    In Forms 10g via AS10g, I need to generate a report and print the output to a specific printer. How do I do this given that the AS Linus box cannot be mapped to various printers. The printer is also not necessarily the Client machine's default printer.
    I suspect that the answer lies in using web.show_document with a html or javascript included in the url extension that directs the report to a printer. I have not been able to find out how, yet.
    I would appreciate your answers
    Thanks
    Gnana

    Hi Frank,
    thank you for coming to my aid. Could you please post some code example of the html and also what do you mean by the report link and again some code will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks mate

  • How to printing oracle report by specific printer name  on solaris?

    When running reports

    report with destype=printer desname=printername, the report fails with REP-50159 Executed successfully but there were some errors when distribute the output
    if set default printer by add PRINTER=printername export PRINTER; in uiprint.txt
    it can print to printer.
    i found document id 394554.1 in metalink but it can't fix problem.
    https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:342229662272785964::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,394554.1,1,1,1,helvetica
    To fix the problem, execute the following steps:
    1. Take a backup of opmn.xml
    2. Edit opmn.xml and include the path information of the new printer:
    For In-process report server add the path information within <OC4J_BI_Forms>
    Eg:
    <process-type id="OC4J_BI_Forms" module-id="OC4J">
    <environment>
    <variable id="DISPLAY" value="localhost:0"/>
    <variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
    value="D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib32:D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib"/>
    <variable id="PATH" value="//printserver;D:/Oracle/product/FRHome_1/bin;................./>
    </environment>
    Here //printserver is the network drive where is printer is installed.
    For standalone report server add the path information within <reportservername>
    Eg:
    <ias-component id="standalonerepsvr01" status="enabled" id-matching="false">
    <process-type id="ReportsServer" module-id="ReportsServices">
    <process-set id="standalonerepsvr01" restart-on-death="true" numprocs="1">
    <environment>
    <variable id="DISPLAY" value="localhost:0"/>
    <variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
    value="D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib32:D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib"/>
    <variable id="PATH" value="//printserver;D:/Oracle/product/FRHome_1/bin;........../>
    </environment>
    3. Reload opmn : opmnctl reload
    4. Restart opmn: opmnctl stopall , opmnctl startall
    5. Run the report with destype=printer and desname=newprintername
    my config (solaris)
    oracle application server release 2 (10.1.2.0.2)
    i used axis printserver name is SZ_R02.

  • Printout a pdf file in a specific printer.

    Hi experts,
    I am facing the following problem: I have a PDF file that i want to print without using a user interface to do it. I created a database table where I store the name of the PDF file that I need to print, the type is BDS_FILENA. Now at a certain hour I want to send the PDF file to be printed in a specific printer installed in the network. The idea is to create the code that sends out the files only by giving the file name.
    I already have the PDF file uploaded in the system (is not a local file I want to print).
    I know that using the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS I am able to config whether the IMMEDIATELY, NO_DIALOG, DEVICE (printer name), etc.
    My question is, by calling this FM it will send the spool defined in the DATA_SET parameter to the printer??? how can I add the document to the spool (I am assuming that the DATA_SET is the spool where the documents are ready to be printed... Am I right?) By calling this FM, automatically will start the print due to I have defined the IMMEDIATELY parameter as 'X' right or do I have to call another FM to start the printing?
    I have check these forums: [Thread 1|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=23697&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a], [Thread 2|Re: Query: Single Spool request to print multiple smart forms] but I am not too sure about if it is what I need.
    Can you please guide me a little bit about it?
    In advance, thanks a lot for your comments or observations.
    Cheers,
    Mauricio.-

    Hi again,
    Ok, I have read about the RSPO_*_SPOOLREQUEST FM, but in non of them I figure out what is the FM that I need to call to send the spool to the printer...
    RSPO_OPEN_... will return the spool number. that spool number I will need to pass as SPOOL_REQUEST_ID parameter in the RSPO_OUTPUT_SPOOL_REQUEST right?
    I understood that I will have to convert the PDF into a spool, i don't know yet how to do it... but it is something that seems to be easy, but the printer side I cannot understand. Using those calls I am able to convert the PDF from hte XSTRING type to a spool. but after the conversion, how do I send to document to the printer?? I don't need to download it to a local computer, i just need to printout the PDF or the data inside the PDF with all the layout (Title, headers, footers, etc.)
    In advance, thanks again.

  • How to ID specific printer drivers installed with system?

    Good evening.
    How can I find out what specific printer drivers are installed with my current OS 10.4.11 software?
    It has been updated by the "software update" route since original install by Apple at factory.
    I would like to use my old but bulletproof Epson Color Stylus 600 printer. The Apple support site says that support should be there.
    Thanks for your time.

    Just add the printer. If you did not install printer drivers you can do so from the Optional Installer on the Tiger DVD.
