[CUPS] GUI applications stuck on print command

I have a running CUPS server on this machine (a bridged VBox VM, if somebody cares), from which I'm writing.
I also have an amd64 arch box in the other room, which has an USB printer plugged in (with cups-usblp from aur), and everything works fine, if I try to print locally from the arch box it works, and also I can print through IPP from windows boxes.
But I can't print anymore from this arch box; cups is up and running, and with the right drivers (I managed to print two weeks ago), and is configure to print through the other machine CUPS server (all permissions are correctly set).
Every GUI application freezes for a really long time after pressing "print", and only a kill signal can close them.
Any ideas? Looks quite weird.

Did you by any chance create an evironment.plist file? It is located in ~/.MacOSX/ If you don't know about it or don't know to look (.MacOSX is normally invisible), try this:
In Finder.app, in the "Go" menu select "Go to Folder..." (shift-command-G), type ~/MacOSX in the text field and hit OK, the finder should then open a window or complain.
If it opens a window and you find in it a file named environment.plist move that file to the desktop and try your applications. Do they work as advertized? Try again after logging in/out if things don't work. Do they work now?
Whatever hapens, tell us more...

GUI Applications unable to use command line tools

Hi All-
I've searched, but I can't find a thread about this one, so...
On OS 10.4.5:
Whenever I use a GUI app that wants to use a command line tool (e.g. curl, df, java), the app fails giving an error message to the effect of "unable to find curl" or the like. It is as if the GUI cannot find my unix $PATH.
Examples:
-- Eclipse refuses to launch, because it appears to use "java xxxxxxx" to launch.
-- Automator fails to run certain Safari actions because they use curl to navigate web pages.
-- Carbon Copy Cloner fails to launch, because it can't find a tool (df, IIRC) to read drive/volume info
Possibly relevant details:
-- I can use the tool in question from the command line, so they are present, and in my $PATH, but the GUI can't find them.
-- I recently moved from an old G4 to a relatively new G5, and had issues migrating files, so I eventually just copied my entire home directory from the old machine to the new, replacing the freshly created one on the new machine. I feel like that missed something that tells the GUI where your $PATH is, or some other link between GUI and command line.
-- I created a new user, and that user does not experience the same troubles. This adds to my suspicion that it is account/PATH related.
Any help anyone can give it greatly appreciated.

Running a GUI application without holding command prompt

Hi there ,
I have developed a GUI application using Swing. After compiling the same successfully , when I run the same , presently , I am running it like ,
c:\> java xxx
where c:\ is the general command prompt on a Windows machine where I can type in my commands like javac or java and xxx is the class file name . Now till I complete using my GUI application and exit from the same , the command prompt will also be there ( and probably displaying the output of my System.out.println ) . So , two sessions are running , one is just the command prompt and another is the actual GUI application.
How can I avoide this ? e.g. when I type command "notepad" and press enter , notepad is started and the command prompt returns after starting notepad i.e. the notepad and the command prompt are not related now , I can close the command intrepreter and still notepad is running . What should I do to create such a Java GUI application ? Please advice .

If I understand you correctly this is something that happens in linux also. And I believe that you can solve this by creating to shortcut to this program.
And the shortcut or link to application will be the command line that you use to run the Java Application.
i.e.
java c:\javadir\subjavadir\application.class
And I believe that this will allow it to run without the command prompt. Just showing the GUI and no additional command prompt window. Freeing the command prompt is something that I don't know how to do in either OS.
I use the Link To Application method because I ultimately don't need to have multiple windows for one application. Even though it is nice to be able to kill the Application by destroying the command-prompt session (in case your app causes lock-ups during testing).
Post your results . . . I'm not even sure that I'm being clear at all with my explanation to your question.

I cannot print any kind of document using the File Print command on the tool bar of any application, but I can print using the printer icon. OS X 6.8 with HP Photosmart printer. Any thoughts?

When trying to print any kind of document on my wife's Mac Pro, the File>Print Command will not work. She just downloaded an update to Microsoft Office and the problem began after that, but it also applies to other non-Microsoft Applications. However, the print function does work when you use the printer icon in any of the applications. She has OS X 6.8 and an HP Photosmart printer. Thank you for any thoughts.

Did your wife also apply the Feb. 2 Security Update 2012-01 v. 1.0 from Apple? That update contains a bug which disables printing and some other functions in applications that were originally written for the PowerPC processor and which require Rosetta to run on Intel Macs. Fortunately, yesterday Apple released v. 1.1 of the update, which resolves the problem. Run Software Update again to install the revised update.

IJAdvance Options Plugin? print command crashes any application?

Not sure what I did - only application I installed was MobileME updater
when ever I print in any application it crashes that program and says it is most likely due to ijadvanceoptions plugin ???
I have searched Google and here -- only thing that pulls if you start moving the words around is a Java printing command?
any one please help

This is a known problem with the Lexmark drivers, and you can rename the plugin in the /Library/Printers/Lexmark/PDEs folder or check Lexmark's site for an update they released to address this problem.

[CUPS] Unable to set my new CUPS server with an HP printer (solved)

Hello,
I come from Gentoo and I just installed my new Arch Linux server on a notebook with 2 NIC ... Now, I'm trying to set the CUPS deamon to share printer (HP DESKJET 895Cxi) for 3 workstations in my LAN. Before, it was working (printer and linux ... has never been very good...). But now, I'm not able, and it's about 1 hour I'm looking for a stupid error that I don't know if it's important or not ...
(all is on my Wiki : http://pix-mania.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cups)
Here are a list of installed package : cups ghostscript gsfonts hplip
The printer (USB) :
(lsusb)

When starting cups service, all is fine : I can use a workstation to browse the Web Interface ... but printer seems to be not detected since it tells "No printers." when clicking on "Printers" tab. So, I go to "Administration" tab and, under "Printers", I click the "Find New Printers" and again, it says : "No printers found.".
Not goot ... so, like I was doing with Gentoo, I click on "Add Printer" ... then, I receive a redirection to HTTPS ... click on the link (or wait) and nothing happend (timed out): web interface is broken for HTTPS ... I really got no idea why HTTPS is not working .
After that, when updating the configuration (with vim) and restarting the service, deamon won't stop and I have to send a "kill -9" to the cupsd pid ...
I look in log and I can just see this :
E [09/Jan/2011:18:19:55 +0100] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
I googled for one hour, but is not more working right now ...
Some questions :
- the printer is not detected? Is it because of the ACLs errors ?
- what the hell is "ACLs" for cups ? Never seen that before ...
So, right now, I got a working HTTP but not working HTTPS, with no printer available ... very useless
This printer is working "well" with cups, since it's an old model and it's a HP printer, so is "fully?" working on Linux ...
Any idea on what to do/try now ?
EDIT: after that message, I just refresh the page (I'm using Chromium) and ... magically, HTTPS was working (after accept untrusted certificate for HTTPS?) ... Then, go back to "Find New Printers" and now, it was working. Printer has been added ... Seems to be OK, but the "Print Self Test Page" doesn't work right now because of this :
Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-command'!

EDIT3: I tested the ppd from cups (and not hpijs) and got the same problem ... The latest idea was to unplug USB and plug to another USB ... and it seams to works ... Now, the test page print "fine" ...
So, I shared the printer over my LAN, and tried to print from a workstation ... it works fine now ... when looking error_log, I can see than there is no more Ghostscript error .
But I have a last question .. if somebody can answer ... When choosing a PPD file, I have the choice between 3 version :
- hpijs, 3.10.9
- hpijs, 3.10.9.11
- hpcups, 3.10.9
Don't know why onlyl the HPIJS got the ".11" and not any others ... I selected this one and here is what Cups say about the printer :
HP_DeskJet_895C_USB_ES29Z231JKGO_HPLIP HP DeskJet 895C Local Printer HP Deskjet 895c hpijs, 3.10.9.11 Idle - "ready to print"
I hope when upgrading the system, I will not get error from PPD file not found ... With my current PPD file, I get (really not sure) this error, but print is working so, it doesn't matter :

WD and their lack of support for Mavericks:
A recent email from WD reads:
Dear WD Registered Customer,
UPDATE: November 1st, 2013
As a valued WD customer we want to make you aware of new reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9). WD is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive, please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wd.com/country/ for further assistance.
The WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager, and WD SmartWare software applications are not new and have been available from WD for many years. However, solely as a precaution WD has removed these applications from our website as we investigate this issue.
Sincerely,
Western Digital
Which is basically Western Digital informing you that their out-of-date utilities don’t support Mavericks.
In any case those utilities are not the most effective. The moral of the story is: the first thing you should do after buying a WD drive is to format it as HFS Extended (Journaled) and not install ANY of their utilities but instead use reliable applications like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper - or Time Machine.

Polling for print command using Apple event

Hi,
I need to create a daemon process which will poll for the Print command ( Can be initiated by any application like TextEdit). I am now stuck in handling the Event (I am very new to handling system events). Can anyone help me by providing the sample code, about how to handle the Print Event?
Appreciate if you could teach me how to handle events.
Thanks

Hi
Issuing networksetup -help from the command line lists all the possible commands. I think the one you want is probably:
networksetup -setproxybypassdomains networkservice domain1 domain2 etc
Where networkservice would be either "Built in Ethernet" etc.

Using OS 10.10.2 with iPhoto 9.6.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
Every time I open iPhoto the application is stuck on "Printing" a photo. Eventually, a box appears that says I "run out of application memory" with iPhoto and Finder listed as the only 2 apps running. I force quit iPhoto, shutdown and restart my system but when I reopen iphoto it's still stuck. I can't seem to get out of this loop.
Any suggestions?

Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How to issue print command from report/form server to client printer on web

1) We have a client server application which is to be deployed on the web environment. The reports generated in our application are having a destination type as File. These reports are printed after applying some print format (escape sequences) which are passed on to the printer programmatically at runtime while printing.
Now when this application is shifted on to the Application server (Forms server & Reports Server )in web environment ,the report outputs would be generated in the application server as against the client in client server environment as the report server is on the application server.
Now while printing/accessing the report the output file will not be available to the client unless it is pushed on to the client side from the server . I am able to see reports in pdf/html output but in this case layout of my reports gets changed and I dont want to change my layouts or reformat my report layouts.
How do I redirect the report output from the application server on to the client within the D2k context and then execute print commands?
Note: In this case we want to use both DMT and Laser printing. Also note that we use escape sequences to adjust reports in desired printing papers.
2) We have second set of reports which we call as document because these are printed after capturing data from 'Form' using text_io utility (please note that for these documents we are not using any Report 6i functionality)and we print it from file using printing mechanism as mentioned above. These are working well in client server application. We adopted this methodology for getting better performance (in terms of speed as database server and network traffic is not involved) of printing. But now we are converting our application for web, we are finding it difficult how to capture Form's data from browser to client's machine and then executing printing commands which are stored in our application liabrary.
If you help me out by giving some suggestions, I shall be grateful to you.

Hello
I wonder if you ever solved this problem.
I have a very similar problem with Photoshop CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6 + HP Photosmart C7180.
If I choose "Photoshop Manages Colors" the results are lousy.
If I choose "Printer Manages Colors" the results are OK. not necessarily great.
I believe I have all the correct settings after going through books and web advice (and wasted a lot of paper and ink).
As far as I can see, "ColorSync" is the internal Mac management which is the only option available with "Photoshop Manages Colors" and "Vendor Matching" appears to mean the printer vendor (ie HP) will provide the matching. Either can be selected if "Printer Manages Colors" is used. It seems the type of paper can be set in three different places. if That's all a bit academic as the results are poor regardless.
My wife suggests I buy a new printer - Epson's looking good.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

The Print command takes ages to bring up the print window

When I use the print command, I get the spinning disk for about 5-7 seconds before the expected print window displays. This has been happening for the last month or so, but don't ask me what I did to make this happen I update and download applications all the time. Any help will be appreciated. If it is of any relevance, my list of printers has 4-5 of them but this was always the case and in the past the print window was coming up fast.

A couple of ideas.
Have a look for HP preference files in the system library under 'preferences' and delete them.
Double check your driver is the right one for your OS and machine.
Reinstall the software that came with your printer. NB: Install all the software that came with your printer. It's easy enough to remove the garbage apps afterwards.
Give these a try and post back.

I have a Windows 8.1 machine. I used a projecteor a while back in a Power Point presentation. Now my menus for Adobe are very small and hard to read. The print command is so compressed that I cannot read or use it. How do I fix this problem?

There is no application called "Adobe" - you are either working with Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. Open up the preferences for the application (Edit>Preferences), then go to the "General" category and modify the settings for "Scale for screen resolution". You will have to restart the application after you do that. Does that fix your problems?

We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.

We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.
For which, We created and execute the below command line to call Adobe Reader and print the PDF on a printer.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /T "\\<Application Server>\Report\<TEST.PDF>" "<Printer Name>".
Current Situation: The above command line parameter when executed is working as expected in a User's Workspace.
When executed in a command line on the Application Server, it is working as expected.
But, the same is not working while executing it from Deployed environment.
Software being used: 1. Adobe 11.0 enterprise version. 2. Webshpere Application Server 8.5.5.2.
Please let us know if there is a way to enable trace logs in Adobe Reader to further diagnose this issue.

This is the Acrobat.com forum. Your question will have a much better chance being addressed in the Acrobat SDK forum.

Saving a pdf file using the print command

I'm having a problem saving a document to pdf using the print command. I'm using an old version of Adobe. it's Adobe Acrobat 6. it is giving me the following error The instruction at "0x775355b2" referenced memory at "0x775355b2". The memory could not be "read". Could someone please help me resolve this issue. Thank you.

The OS and release version of the source file's authoring application have a significant impact on use of Acrobat 6.
For example, Acrobat 8.1 is where Vista support begins.
With MS Office, Acrobat 6 PDFMaker compatiblility is only for Office 97, 2000, XP, and 2003.
Be well...

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 : can not change Printer Command

Hello all,
I encounter the following problem with Acrobat Reader 8.1.2, installed on Debian GNU/Linux, trying to print :
When I choose a printer (within the list given by a CUPS server) I can not change the Printer Command which prevents me from printing : the default printing options (-o InputSlot -o PageSize ...) are not compliant with my LPRng printing system.
Note that I was able to do it with 7.0.5 and 8.1.1 versions.
Would you please help me to resolve this problem ?
Regards,
Jean-Noel BOUVIER

Hello Jean-Noel,
The print command text box (in the Printer properties dialog) has been made read-only to avoid confusion and discrepancies with the drop-downs available to modify the options.
If you want a particular print command to be used you could try out the Custom printing option. The command typed there is remembered between different sessions of the Reader.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Neha
