Deskjet F 4480 and a print server for network printing

I have a HP Pavilion (win 7) and an Acer netbook ( Win XPsp3) wirelessly networked with the HP Paviion as the host for the Deskjet multifunction printer. I would like to set up a print server to alleviate some problems we are having with the Acer accessing the printer. Uaually all is ok, but It seems that whenever that netbook is put into sleep mode, I have to reboot it, shut down the printer (even to the point of disconnecting the USB and power cords, and then re hooking up all the cables) to get ithe netbook to print. so, I am looking at installing a print server to get around this annoyance.
I am using a DLink WB-1310 router, BTW.
Any suggestions on a capable print server? Not to mention any other suggestions, which i certainly would appreciate.
Thank you, all.

HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
Good luck.

Printer server for two HP printer on VISTA PC

I have just purchased a Dell pc with the VISTA operation system.
I have two HP printers: HP Laser Jet 4100, Model CAAC049A, Serial # USJNG10352 and a HP business inkjet 2250, Model C2691A#ABA, Serical # SSG095110PR.
I want to set them up so all PC's in the house can access them. I had been using an old Linksys printserver that is no longer support and will not work with VISTA.
Is there any way that I can get these printers set up to work with VISTA and a print server? I know I can add a card to each that will let me use an HP jet direct card. I have also seen a parallel print server for sale on your web site.
What options do I have.

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

Hi, I am looking for a printing solution for iPads in the office space, my question is how can I print from iPads and if the iPads are connected to a wifi router on a network would I be able to print from a networked printer?

Hi
We are looking at placing iPads in our offices but need to understand the printing options available? I have a number of questions?
1/ Would I be able to print to a networked printer?

Getting Printer Destype for Report Printing

Hi all
I am using 9ids.
On server side it works fine
set_report_object_property(rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,PRINTER);
set_report_object_property(rep_id,REPORT_DESNAME,'\\Admin1\NPR');
Now i want from client side where report server is not loaded but printers are installed on client machines.
I want from form to get that client printer and report output on client printer
some ideas.

Hi,
actually three things need to be true for Reports Server to be able to print on a local printer.
1. The local printer must be a network printer
2. The network printer must be configured on the server that runs the Reports Service
3. The Reports Services provess must run under a user that has network access privileges. This can be achieved by starting the HTTP server (e.g. OC4J in Oracle9iDS) while being logged in as such a user.
You can use Java in Forms to get a list of printers configured on the client, but I haven't looked at this long enough to tell if there is a chance to determine whether or not a printer is a network printer.
I think that downloading teh Reports as a PDF document in teh Browser and then using teh Acrobat Reader print option is a good alterantive (if not for mass printing)

Fault tolerance for network printing

What options are available to provide fault tolerance for network printing? Currently, all our shared printers are on ServerA. Is it possible to have similar shared printers on ServerB and have the clients automatically switch to Server B if
Server A became unavailable? We don't care about load balancing as much as fault tolerance. Thanks to all who post!

A failover cluster node ? (not in nlb;
Servers in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) failover cluster cannot be used as print servers in Windows Server 2008 )
For environments that require high availability, you can use a failover cluster as a print server. If a node in the cluster fails, all print functionality will fail over to the next node in the cluster. To improve failover times, we recommend
that the administrator for the cluster force failover to each node when new print drivers are installed on the server. During a failover, the driver installation is forced to occur on the active node. The installation of the driver on each node
can require several minutes. Forcing this installation process during maintenance will make sure that any unplanned failovers during usual operation will be very quick, because the drivers will already be installed on each node.

Airport Admin loses Express and Extreme, no iTunes, no Network Printer

Ever since I have upgraded to Tiger, I’ve experienced a strange, random Airport Extreme/Express problem which I have not been able to solve. I can sometimes replicate the problem but never consistently.
Laptop Configuration: 15” Powerbook G4 running Mac OS Tiger 10.4.3 with most current patches. System is stable and manifests no problems.
Airport Network Configuration: Network is closed with 128bit WEP encryption. No other laptops attached to the network besides my Powerbook.
Base Station: Airport Express attached to DSL modem with “Distribute IP Addresses” checkbox enabled, running firmware v6.2, stereo speakers plugged into audio jack. Network access is restricted by MAC address; RADIUS not in use, default IP address scheme is used.
Remote Base Station: Airport Extreme running firmware v5.6. The Extreme hosts a HP 1012 LaserJet printer plugged into the USB port and an IP phone plugged into the LAN port.
The Express and Extreme are within 15 feet of each other and enjoy a clear, strong 802.11b/g wireless signal on Channel 1 with a multicast setting of 11, interface robustness enabled and transmit power set to 100%.
Symptoms: iTunes loses its remote speakers setting; I cannot print to the network printer attached via USB to Airport Extreme; Airport Extreme and Express do not appear in Airport Admin Utility….yet I can access the network via the Powerbook, I have full internet access and IP phone can make calls. I just can’t print to the network printer or use AirTunes.
Troubleshooting: I can restore all functionality if I perform a hard reset of the Airport Express Base Station then re-import my saved Airport Express base station configuration settings. I typically look at the Airport Admin Utility to determine if functionality has been restored. If both the Airport Express and Extreme appear in the Admin utility, all is well. If they are not there, sometimes a laptop reboot will restore them, other times they will not appear when the Admin Utility is opened or when I rescan. If a rescan fails, I can access the Express and Extreme by typing in the IP address and password. Then each will show up in the Admin Utility and I can make changes and restart the devices. Even with a device restart, they will not automatically appear in the Admin Utility.
I first thought the problem was associated with the laptop going to sleep but this is not the case. Sometimes when I reset the Base Station, re-import the configs and reboot the laptop, I am able to automatically see the Express and Extreme in the Airport Admin Utility. Other times I can’t. Sometimes my settings will last a few days and I’ll enjoy full functionality then they will disappear. Other times they will disappear immediately, even with a reboot and a reset of the Express and Extreme.
If I use a 3rd party utility called Cocktail and reboot, I can restore functionality. Cocktail will delete all user, system and kernel caches, delete all log files, rerun disk permissions, and run the daily, weekly and monthly Apple Kron maintenance scripts. If I reboot after running Cocktail, my Airport Extreme and Express appear in the Admin Utility. Thus, I think the problem may be associated with a Airport Extreme cache file becoming corrupted or deleted upon reboot…….but I am not positive.
If there are any Airport experts out there, let me know what you think. I love Apple, I love my Mac and my little Airport Network…….but this is ******’ me off! Thus my plea for advanced geekery review and assistance.
Talk to me!

If the Airport Admin Utility cannot automatically "see" your Base Station, you have a big clue as to the cause of your problems. On a private LAN, it should never be necessary to select "Other" and manually type in the Base Station's IP address.
The most likely cause for the Airport Admin Utility not being able to automatically "see" an Airport Base Station - is a firewall on the Mac that is blocking it. Any of the following are possible:
- you have installed non-Apple firewall software on the Mac
- you have installed so-called "internet protection" software on the Mac
- you have installed "internet monitoring" software on the Mac (like "Little Snitch")
- you have installed VPN client software on the Mac - and many of these applications install their own firewall
All this stuff needs to go, since it will cause all sorts of trouble with communication between a Base Station or Airport Express, and a Mac.
I'd also be very worried about what this "Cocktail" utility is really doing to your system.

F-58 Print Program for Check Printing

Hi Guys,
Have some questions here:
1) How to locate the print program for F-58 on the Check? We can configure the form by payment method but can't seem to find the print program like other FI correspondences.
2) Can i ignore the check printing and just print payment advice (if any) after posting via F-58?
Anyone has done this before?
Please advice.
Thanks and Regards,
Andrew

Hi
I think I could understand your requirement. There is no special PRINT PROGRAM FOR Payment Advice.
There is Print program for check printing : RFFOUS_C
along with above print program Payment Advice and Payment summary will be printed.
check tcode: OBVCU, here we assign the print program.
and Form will be assigned in tcode: OBVU
or in last case do payment with out any print and create payment advice manually in tcode: FBE1
any questions revert back please
Regards
Hari P

Printer listener for every print action in any application istalled

Printer listener for every print action in any application installed in the system

Do you have the old printer queue in use? This made problems in my case. Remove the queue and the printer in prefpane. Add the printer again and try out. Perhaps in your case it is a differnt problem, but you have nothing to loose.

WRT350N Print Server? Samba Printer Port

Issue: I have a hard drive attached and shared out on my WRT350N -- works great.. When i browse the share device from a Vista or XP machine i see a directory (shares) called Config and one called Printers and Faxes -- neither of these two i created during the setup of the router.. So -- i double click upon the Printer and Faxes share and it opens up to a blank page -- right clicking gives me the option to add printer and to view server properties.. the properties show a print server with Samba Printer Port.. plus a ADD PRINTER option.. well i get all excited about sharing my network printer on this thing.. only to add printer and get a error about not enough access rights.. nothing i do will grant me access to add a printer.. is this even possible? Is this a flaw in the product? Or a Windows mishap?

I did get the direct IP pringing to work, and the Samba, but it has to have the username/password in the string:
smb://userName:password@workgroup/computer/printer

Print Logo Local Printing vs SWIN (Network Printing)

Hi experts,
Hoping someone has experienced on this issue.
I've tried to add new printer LJ2105 PCL 6, with 2 approaches, shared printing & local printing.
For shared printing (PC share the installed printer)
Devive type: SWIN
Access method: S
For local printing
Device type: HPLJ4
Access method: L
The shared printing results a good logo printout, but the local printing has blur logo printed. Please advice if you have some kind of experiences like this...
Thanks!

Hi Juan,
The shared printing method that I used is basically the same with printer server, I attach the printer to a PC, installed with the printer driver, and use SWIN as device type. It works fine.
The only problem (logo printed with dots background) is when I attached/install printer at OS level (local printing) and using some device types mentioned above....
Thanks...

Printing to Local Network Printer

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if I can print to the local wireless network printer at my very Mac-unfriendly school. (The help desk folks won't even discuss this issue with me because I'm a Mac user).
Here are the Windows instructions:
Go to Start > Settings > Printers. Select Add Printer. Select the Local
Printer option, and deselect the option to automatically detect
Plug-and-Play printers. Select “Create a new port” and select “LPR Port”
from the drop-down menu. In the line for “Name or address of server
providing lpd:” type in “print.law.local”. In the line reading “Name of
printer or print queue on that server:” type in “HPIIISI_01”. Click OK and
wait for a printer selection box to come up (there may be a delay). Select
HP from the manufacturer window on the left and HP Laser Jet 8100 PCL.
I tried using the Printer Setup Utility (by entering "print.law.local:HPIIISI_01" in the address field under the IP printer tab) but to no avail.
If anyone has any idea how to translate this into OS X terms, I will be forever grateful.
Thanks!
MacBook Black, iBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The first thing you have to do is check if there is a Mac printer driver for the printer model on the network.
You can go to the manufacturer's Web site and search in their (undoubtedly badly organized) downloads sections. If it's a common printer the driver may already be included with OSX, but it's always best to check for the latest update from the manufacturer anyway.
If there is a Mac driver, after it's installed on your computer, go to the OSX Preferences panel/Printers and Faxes, and click the little "+" button. This should bring up a panel that will search the network automatically and hopefully find the printer.
There is a faq on printing setup you can find somewhere here in the discussion area that will give you more detailed steps.

Printing to a network printer by command line

Hi
I would like to know how to print to a network printer from the command line using its IP.
In windows we can do:
lpr -S<Server Ip> -P<Server Ip>
How can I do it in linux?
I could not find any clue in the man page and have googled but vainly. Always I was redirected to CUPS.
Thank you!
Serge

My question in fact is: Is it posible to print directly to the IP of the printer, not to its name?
I think in general you can't do this. With the standard tools ( CUPs, LPD, etc. ) you need to first set up the print queue(s), then specify which queue to send the jobs to by name.
There was a tool called rlpr which did exactly what you're looking for, but it is completely separate from CUPS and the other print spooling software, and it's site seems to be down ATM.
