Auto-close print queue windows after my job finishes?

Whenever I print something, a window for the printer opens up showing me the current print queue. That's great. What's not-so-great is me having to keep on closing those windows after they open.
Is there a way for those windows to close themselves after my print job finishes?
Thanks.

Thanks! (I haven't actually tested it yet, but I did bring the printer up in the dock and set the "Auto-Quit" function, so it at least seems plausible that it will work.)
Perhaps a new low in Apple UI design: an option -only- accessible via a Dock Menu?

Just wondering if I'm looking for something that doesn't exist - can firefox automatically close the "print-preview" window after printing?

I'm using the addon in my firefox toolbar to print preview website data then append to a pdf file. Sometimes I am distracted, then can't remember if I've gone through the process and printed/appended the page to the file. It would be helpful if there was a way that the print preview window would close after printing thereby confirming that the process has completed. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm running different versions of firefox on different computers. I'm aware of the upgrade procedures. Same issue in later versions as well.
The add-on is called "Print Preview Button 0.5" by sindre-wimberger which I obtained through the "Search Mozilla Support"
However, that's not really relevant - to bring this back to basics the same situation occurs if you do <File> <Print Preview> then print the document. The print preview screen remains until manually closed. Perhaps there is a setting in "about:config"? Does anyone know if this is so? There is an entry "print.whileinprintpreview" but not sure what setting does here. Suspect if set to "False" then you probably wouldn't be able to print from "Print Preview" screen.
Thanks.

Print Queue "Stopped" after restarting...

I'm having problems with a Print Queue that keeps reverting to "stopped". I'll restart it using either Printer set-up utility or Server Admin but when a job goes through it just stops again.
The printer is set up to print using IPP and is set to enforce quotas (not that that should stop the print queue anyway).
Please HELP as i've got 80 students wanting to print!
Here's the Print Error Log...

I've had problems with the print queues in 10.4.x not taking print jobs after the server is restarted. Do a port scan on the server to see if port 515 is open. If it isn't then try restarting the print service on the server. Port scan the server again and see if port 515 is open. If it is open now try printing. I also had problems with ipp printing so have reverted all my clients to LPR. Some client machines I have switched to direct ip printing to the printer. The print queues in 10.4.x haven't been very reliable. I hope this helps.

HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX feature of the printer with Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
All replies welcomed! Aaron in Calif.

Hi Aaron,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

Using separate_frame=true and trying to close the applet window after...

We are using separate_frame=true and trying to close the applet window (the one with the large gray box) after using the following post-form trigger:
if :system.last_form = 0 then
     message('Please wait while Forms closes - '||:system.last_form);
     web.show_document('/forms/html/close.htm','_self');
end if;
This works fine for the first form we open, but if that same form using Open_Form to open a child form we have a problem. When the child form is closed the user is returned to the parent calling form (which is expected), but then when the parent form is closed the separate applet window fails to close. Any suggestions?

I guess you mis-interpreted the value of :SYSTEM.LAST_FORM. From the online-help:
SYSTEM.LAST_FORM represents the form document ID of the previous form in a multi-form application, where multiple forms have been invoked using OPEN_FORM.So LAST_FORM shows always the ID of the last activated form, and this will never be 0 if you issued one OPEN_FORM in your application.

Print Queue closing after initiating a print

Hello,
I have a LaserJet 3030 connected via a network to OS X. When I initiate a print, the icon of the 3030 comes into my dock and the item does print. The issue is that the icon stays open and does not close automatically, exactly how it would work on a PC. I want the "Print Queue" to close automatically. Does anyone know how to change this?
Thanks.

He's talking about the printer's icon in the dock, and I've found this setting to be less than entirely reliable; at least when dealing with HPs.

HP 8620 all-in-one: scanner becomes unavailable in print queue window when computer sleeps

I just bought a new printer/scanner/fax - HP 8620 all-in-one. I have Mac OSX 10.9.3 and the most up to date drivers/software from the HP website (april 2014). I have connected the printer via ethernet cable to our wireless router. I have installed as per intructions.
When my computer goes to sleep, or the printer goes to sleep, I will return to the computer to find that the "scanner" is not available (ie greyed out when I go to "open scanner" in the print queue or system preferences, or try to use "HP scan". I tried a few things, like uninstall/reinstalling, and have worked out that if I reboot my computer the scanner option seems to "whiten" again (ie become available).
Is there a way to prevent this happening???? I don't have time to be rebooting every time I need to use the scanner!

You can't use the scan button on the printer. You have to start the scan from OS X.

HP Laserjet Print Queue Stuck after completed

Hello, I am working with on a client of mine's brand new iMac, and everything is working good except when she prints to her HP Laserjet P2035, the job completes just fine, but sits in the queue for about 20-30 seconds before completing itself. At this point, she cannot print anything else until the queue says its completed. I have updated the HP driver to the newest one, as well as all other system updates. This is very frustrating for her, so I need to find a resolution quickly. Thanks!

Okidata printer timeout prints extra page after each job

After updating to Yosemite, I get the following problem. When printing to my Okidata C331dn, everything seems fine, but about 25-30 seconds later, I get an extra page printed with the following:
ERROR: timeout
OFFENDING COMMAND: timeout
STACK:
This happens every time I print. I am using the Mavericks drivers via USB (Oki has not updated their drivers, yet).
Any ideas on how to stop this? I am wasting a lot of paper!

Hi,
I have had the same problem with an Oki MC560 color NETWORK printer, after upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite.
Now it seem solved after changing the printer network setting "IEEE802.1X" from "NO" to "YES"
(I don't know why !).
Now, after each printing, the printer remain "active" for some minutes, with "Data" led blinking as it should print something else,
and then it goes in standby (without printing the extra page with timeout error).
I hope this help you

Auto-close "Downloads List" window?

Is there a way for the "Download List" window to automatically close when a download is complete? I have it set so that items are automatically cleared from the window when the download is complete, but would like the window to close as well rather than just sitting there empty. (Disabling it altogether might be OK too, I find with a fast connection most of the things I download might only take a second or two, so there's no need to really monitor their progress).

I don't think you can turn this window off.
One alternate use for the window aside from monitoring downloads is that if you click on the magnifying glass icon next to the item's name, you can have it revealed in the Finder. Handy if you don't want to bother clicking to find the item, Safari/the Finder will take you right to it!
(of course to use this feature you would have to change preferences so that the window wasn't cleared automatically.)

Auto close a popup windows in Abap

Dear gurus ,
i use the FM 'POPUP_TO_INFORM' so to display a message .
My scenario is that i want the popup to be closed after 3 seconds automatically without user interaction .
I searched in sdn many times before i post this question .
Please help if there is a solution .

Hi Dimitris,
I just tried this way and got the output.
What this function POPUP_TO_INFORM is doing is just calling a screen 201 as a subscreen.
So instead of calling this FM, we will call our own subscreen 201, with four input/output fields, say text1, text2, text3, text4 (display only) and ok code, GUI status and title bar. (GUI status is not necessary since there wont be user interaction)
(You could also just copy popup_to_inform to a zfunction and make the following changes. I have called a custom screen. )
data : text1 type char10,
          text2 type char10,
          titl type char20.
data : ok_code type sy-ucomm.
   TEXT1 = 'Text1'.
   TEXT2 = 'Text2'.
   titl = 'Inform'.
CALL SCREEN 201 STARTING AT 1 3
                   ENDING   AT 80 8.
module STATUS_0201 output.
* SET PF-STATUS 'PFS'.
SET TITLEBAR 'TITLE' WITH TITL.
   CALL FUNCTION 'SAPGUI_SET_FUNCTIONCODE'
     EXPORTING
       functioncode           = '=ENT'
     EXCEPTIONS
       function_not_supported = 1
       OTHERS                 = 2.
endmodule.                 " STATUS_0201 OUTPUT
module USER_COMMAND_0201 input.
case ok_code .
* when 'BACK'.
*    leave to screen 0.
    when 'ENT'.
        wait up to 3 SECONDS.
     leave to screen 0.
endcase.
endmodule.

Periodic Background Jobs after another Job finishes

Hi
I have to schedule a job 'B' to run after job 'A' finishes.
When i schedule job 'B' to run after job A , it runs only once , while i need the job B to run periodically after job A finishes.
1) I cannt make job B as step 2 of job A , because job A is not scheduled by me and i cannt change that.
Can anyone tell me how to i trigger the job B periodicaly after job A finishes .
Any solution or hint would be appreciated.
Looking forward to some helpful replies from the gurus of SAP.

Dear Team,
Job ES_RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH ran only once where as SEC:INDX_UPDATE_FOR_STRUCT_AUTHS ran daily.
CAUSE:
“The start condition "Start after job" is internally mapped by means of "Start after event SAP_END_OF_JOB with the parameter <Jobname><Jobcount> of the predecessor". The pair <Jobname><Jobcount> is the unique key for a job.
If a job is executed periodically, the SAP_END_OF_JOB event is always triggered with different parameters.
The successor in turn waits for SAP_END_OF_JOB with just one particular parameter (this is the parameter with <Jobname><Jobcount> from the first predecessor). When the successor is rescheduled, the key fields from the next predecessor must therefore always be known in advance, something which is not always technically possible.”
SOLUTION:
This task can be completed with the new ABAP program Program BTC_EVENT_RAISE.
The program is delivered by Support Package for Basis Releases 640 and 700, and is included in the standard system in all subsequent releases.
The program is used to trigger a batch event. Existing programs do not therefore have to be changed. The BTC_EVENT_RAISE program has several parameters in the selection screen, including the event (and parameters) that is to be triggered.
PROCESS:
 Go To SM64
 Click on Create
 Create two events.
Our Case:
We created Z_ES_CP_AUTH and Z_SEC_AUTHS
 Go to SE38
 Give the event name as BTC_EVENT_RAISE
 Select Variants and click on Display
 Give the variant name as the one you created.
Our Case:
Z_ES_CP_AUTH
 Click on Create
 Give in the details for variants
 Click on attributes and give the details for attributes
 Go to the job which needs to be run first
• Select the job in released status
• Job->Change
• Step
• Add BTC_EVENT_RAISE as the last step of the job with the parameter as the variant created
Our Case:
Step: BTC_EVENT_RAISE, Parameter: Z_ES_CP_AUTH
 Go to the job which needs to be run next
• Select the job in released status
• Job->Change
• Start Condition -> After Event.
• Give the BTC_EVENT_RAISE parameter of the first job as the event of the second job.
Our Case:
After Event: Z_ES_CP_AUTH
 Save the changes.
 The jobs will start running one after the other with the given frequency.
Thanks

Print Job visibility on shared print queues

Hello all,
Quick scenario, where print server has a print queue shared with several clients. Each user is sending jobs using this shared queue. Is it possible that users only see their print jobs when opening the print queue, instead of all jobs, from other users,
being sent to that print queue.
I am aware that you can mask the job title and job owner, from the driver prespective. Nevertheless I am wondering if there is something from a service or policy prespective that can be applied globally to all printer, independely of the print driver in
use.
Thanks

Yes. The client will not matter. The driver version or Type will not matter.
The documentation is extremely limited. Most of the 2012 What's new in..... was overwritten with the What's new in 2012R2.
But what the heck. I always go the extra mile for people wishing to deploy print servers. There has been a patch release where you can add the true document name in the print event logged. There are ways to determine the queue view
true document name but code would need to be written and compiled.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134163.aspx
When printing to a Windows Server 2012 print queue, only users with administrator permissions on the print queue (full system administrator or delegated print administrator, see
Assign Delegated Print Administrator and Printer Permission Settings in Windows Server 2012) will see readable document names when viewing the print queue. Users can still view the
queue from their client computer and will see their own document name in full, but for other user’s print jobs they will see
Print Document for the document name.
Additionally, in most cases in the event log on the server, the document name will also appear as
Print Document. However, in some job failure cases, the document name will be listed in the failure event.

How to close browser window after flushing a file to the browser?

I have this simple JSP, which flushes a String to the browser as a file (message.txt). The JSP gets opened in a new window when the user clicks a link.
The problem is that after the JSP has run, the browser window won't close automatically. I've tried adding a small javascript to achieve this, but i doesn't seem to even get run.
How can I close the browser window after the JSP has run?
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     // Flush to browser
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {
          return;
     } catch (Exception e) {
          return;
%>
<script type="text/javascript">
     window.close();
</script>After the JSP has run, an empty html page with the following source can be seen:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Try run this and you'll see that it runs fine with no exceptions:
<%
     String someText = "bla bla bla";
     response.setContentType("text/plain");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.txt");
     try {
          ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os.write(someText.getBytes());
          os.flush();
          os.close();
     } catch (Exception e) {
          out.println("ERROR: " + e);
%>It looks like that after I've closed the outputStream I can't do any more processing in the JSP. Even if I remove the setContentType and setHeader methods it still behaves this way.
I'm starting to think that there's no way around this...??
