Checking print job status

Hi,
In Leopard, when I print to any of my printers, an application with the name of the printer I'm printing to appears. If I want to check on the status of the current print job, I can't figure out a straightforward way to look at the jobs in that printer's queue. The only way I can accomplish this is to select "Show Printer List" from the "Printer" menu, which then opens the System Preferences dialog listing all of my printers, from which I can select the current printer from the list on the left and then click on the "Open Print Queue..." button. But this seems sort of a roundabout way to check my print job, considering that the current printer's "app" is already open. In the printer "app"'s "Jobs" menu, I have only "Delete Job", "Hold Job", "Resume Job" and "Hide Completed Jobs" as options. It would be great if there were a "View Jobs" option as well. I don't recall that checking print jobs was as convoluted in Tiger. Is there some trick here that I'm missing, or did the monitoring of print jobs become a bit more difficult to do in Panther.
Thanks,
Ken

If you want to see the current queued jobs then click on the option to "Hide Completed Jobs" This makes the current jobs easier to see.
If the completed jobs view is on, then the current jobs will be at the end of the list.

Check The Job Status

Hi SAPsimhas,
My requirement is as below.
I will loop through an internal table and create some files with background processing method.(JOB_OPEN,SUBMIT & JOB_CLOSE)
Now once this job is triggered I need to check the status for that job after maximum 10 mins. Its not neccessary that each job will take 10 mins. only,It can be finished in 2 mins also.
Once the job is finished then I will XCOM that file.
So my question is how to code such timer which will check the job status for that job? I have a FM BP_JOB_READ which returns the job status.
Reply is highly appriciated.

Try this way
do.
    call function 'SHOW_JOBSTATE'
      exporting
        jobcount         = p_jobc
        jobname          = p_jobn
      importing
        aborted          = v_aborted
        finished         = v_finished
        ready            = v_ready
        running          = v_running
        scheduled        = v_scheduled
      exceptions
        jobcount_missing = 1
        jobname_missing = 2
        job_notex        = 3
        others           = 4.
    if v_aborted eq 'X'.
      exit.
    endif.
    if v_finished eq 'X'.
      select single * from tbtcp into wa_tbtcp1
                 where jobname eq p_jobn
                   and jobcount eq p_jobc.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        move wa_tbtcp1-listident to p_spono.
      endif.
      exit.
    endif.
    if v_count le 10.
      call function 'ENQUE_SLEEP'
        exporting
          seconds = 60.
      v_count = v_count + 1.
    endif.

URGENT : Error 5 when checking the job status

Hello Forum,
While monitoring the Process Chains in BW 3.1, I got the following message in the <b>Information </b>Pop-up:
<b>Error 5 when checking the job status</b>
Could you please tell me what it means?
Thank you,
its my duty to assign points,
raj

Hi,
Are you able to view the log after refreshing and clicking the tick mark button on this message or is it not letting you go into the log itself.
Can you directly go to Log view thru Tcode RSPCM and see. Once you are inside try to find where exactly the process failed.
Thanks,

Page Count Missing From Print Job Status Window

When I print a multi-page document from TextEdit or AppleWorks, the Print Status window does not show the page count. Instead it always shows "Sheet 1 of 1".
Both TextEdit and AppleWorks show the document as having four pages. A print preview from AppleWorks confirms the document does have four pages. Yet when the document is printed the Print Status window continues to show only "Sheet 1 of 1" with no indication that the document actually has a total of four pages. Nor does it show which pages is currently printing.
I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8. If I recall correctly, previous versions of Mac OS X showed both the total page count and the currently printing page number, which incremented as the job printed. As it is, there is no way to know the progress of a large print job.
Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks.

Could some check their print status window while a job is printing? Does it always show "Sheet 1 of 1" or does it show the page count that increments as the job prints?
Thanks.

Help! One error printing and now all print jobs status = STOPPED.

I work in a big corporation with 99.99% PCs. I've been printing to networked printers here under Leopard without problem for a long time now. I recently submitted a print job to a HP printer and all it printed was:
Error: invalidfont
OFFENDING COMMAND: definefont
STACK:
-dictionary-
/HSRYIE+ArialNarrow-Italic
However, since that moment I have been unable to print anything irrespective of what printer I choose (HP, Xerox etc). Every time I start a job it immediately shows with a status of STOPPED in the printer window. Other people continue printing to these printers just fine, snickering at my Mac along the way .
Any ideas??

Hoping to inspire some tech-head to respond here...
Restarting doesn't fix this. Repairing permissions doesn't fix this. Removing and reinstalling the printer doesn't fix this.
When I create a print job I get the following in the error_log:

Hp 8600 quits in the middle of a print job

I have an HP 8600 that when I send a large print job stops printing in the middle when I print from mail merge. I get no error message on the computer, it just stops printing. When I check the print job status it gives me an "error - sent to printer" message, but there is no error message on the printer. I restart the print job from where it left off and it will print a few more and give me the same error message. So I restart again from where it left off and it will print for a little bit more and stop with another error message. Each time I restart the printer prints less and less of the job. Say I have 100 entries to print, I'll get 50 the first time, then 25, then 15, then 5 then...well you get the idea. Its more than a little frustrating.
I forgot to mention I am working on a 32bit Windows 7 premium system loaded on a Toshiba Satellite
I also forgot to mention that when it stops, the last page it prints is blank.

Hi hp_issed & TXGabe,
I understand that both of your HP Officejet Pro 8600 printers are not able to print correctly and quit in the middle of jobs.
What is the firmware version of the printer? click here to find out how to retrieve it.
Which Windows operating system are you running?
Is the printer connected via USB, ethernet or wireless?
Is the power to the printer connected directly into a wall outlet or a surge protector?
Thank you,

Unable to get job status via BIP web service

Hi,
I'm scheduling a report job using the method scheduleReport of the ScheduleService web service. The method returns the jobId correctly, then I check the job status using getScheduledReportStatus.
Every time the method returns jobstatus = "Scheduled", but the report is finished. I noticed that BIP schedule a child job with different jobId (why?) and If I use it, the getScheduledReportStatus return a null status.
Using the method getScheduledJobInfo I have all the information, but how can I get the child jodId ?
Best regards,
Alessio

Hi Alessio
I know this was a long time ago but i was just taking a chance:
Quick question: did you get this to work? I can schedule a report using the ScheduleReport sevice, but when i query the status using getScheduledReportStatus, the status remains 'Scheduled', even after the job has run. The job also does not appear in the Job History of the report. The report is set to burst, which it does correctly.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks very much.

HP Photosmart Plus cancels print job itself mid-run

Hi,
I have an HP Photosmart Plus which I connect wirelessly to my laptop which runs Vista (x64). Recently, when I try and print off my work (written on screenwriting software Final Draft 8), the printer cancels the job unprompted half way or three quarters of the way through. In the print job status box, it will say "error - cancelling" but with no further details.There are no blinking lights on the printer. The printer seems to think it has received a "cancel" command.
The same problem does not occur when I print through the usb connection so the problem seems to concern the wireless connection. The laptop, router and printer are all in the same room so strength of signal is not the issue.
I would be very grateful for any thoughts on how to solve this problem.
Thanks

Yes, I'm in the same boat and actually, I'm pretty pissed about it. I had a print going, but the printer ran out of paper. I was looking for paper, and got side tracked, and when I came back in (We're talking 5 minutes) the printer started doing a bunch of stuff, and I noticed it said "print cancelled" What the hell HP.. That's BS.. There should be a way to disable that, and allow it to stay 12 hours if I want it to. People get busy, and can't always be there when prints go. Often I print from other rooms, and don't even go to get my prints for hours, so how would I know it's out of paper? I do not run the print software on my computers, just the drivers.

T code to check the job run status

Hi Gurus,
I am filling the setup tables for inventory, but i didn't run in background. I clicked on execute button, but suddenly i got disconnected from net and my server also.
Now i have to check the job run status whether it is running or not.
Request you to provide the suggessions.
Thanks & Regards,
Saketh

Hi,
if you ran job in background you can see at SM37.use proper time ,date and use id to get your job.
if you ran on frond end then you won't see job.if your job was completed then you can see data at SE11 by using setup table name or you can see at t code NPRT by using name of the run.
if you won't find your job then just delete your setup tables again and fill it.
No issues.
Thanks

5 error while checking job status

Hi,
We are getting the following error when we are trying to check the status of the process chain through FM 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS':
5 error while checking job status.
The real scenario is we are using an abap screen with a button on it. when the user clicks on the button we call the FM 'BP_EVENT_RAISE' to trigger the process chain. once the chain is triggered we are having an endless loop to monitor the status of the chain with FM 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS' untill the chain status turns green ie G.
Now while monitoring the status it randomly throws me the above error. it seems to work sometimes and other times it gives the popup with the said error.
Can anybody help why we get the error.
Regards,
Shashank

Hi Shanshank,
Try to Debug the FM.

All timer jobs don't start (paused in check job status)

Hello,
Some bad things have happend to our SharePoint Server 2010. All timer jobs suddenly stopped running. The last time they ran successfully was 09/26/11. Since that time all jobs have been scheduled to run according to their schedule but don't actually run.
In the Check Job Status view there is a list of jobs scheduled to run 09/26/11 which are currently paused for some reasons, other jobs don't run at all.
Is it possible to unpause these jobs and let other jobs to run? Any ideas would be very much apprecaited. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
Pausable Timer Jobs
You can now create pausable timer jobs. This is done by inheriting from the
SPPausableJobDefinition and overriding Execute(SPJobState) instead of
Execute(Guid). You can then use the current job state (SPJobState) to store values which are retrieved when the job is resumed.
Running jobs on all content databases
Another new timer job derivative type is the SPContentDatabaseJobDefinition.This is a timer job specifically made to perform actions on content databases. The timer job is distributed on the WFE servers and each content database is only
processed by one job. Override the Execute(SPContentDatabase, SPJobState) to add your own processing. The job supports pausing.
Running jobs on all Site Collections
A really interesting new timer job type is the SPAllSitesJobDefinition. This one is derived from the SPContentDatabaseJobDefinition and has a method called
ProcessSite(SPSite, SPJobState) which you override to process the SPSite object. This could be very useful to build site inventories/directories.
Running job on a specific server
The SPServerJobDefinition is a pausable timer job that is designed to be targeted to a specific server (SPServer).
Running jobs for specific services
The SPServiceJobDefinition is another pausable timer job that runs a job on all servers where a specific
SPService has been provisioned. A very similar job is the
SPFirstAvailableServiceJobDefinition which runs the job on the first available server which has a specific SPService installed. If you would like to run a job an all servers you can easily use SPServiceJobDefinition. Then use the timer job service
(which is installed on all servers, except dedicated database servers) and pass
SPFarm.Local.TimerService as the SPService parameter in the constructor.
All of the new specific timer jobs are essentially smart derivatives of the SPJobDefinition but using these new abstract classes will certainly save you some time when you need to target your timer jobs.
I hope that helps.

How to get job status information from printer without using printer's web interface

Hi, all!
I need to resolve problem with logging my printer hp lj 700 m712.
I configure syslog on it, but it sending only status messages ("peripheral low-power state" - for exapmle), I need to register the job status of printer's job on my server.
How can I do that?
Can you help me?

Hi Lexabb,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 M712 printer series is a commercial model.
