Document Managment - Printing MS Office Documents

I am using Document Management and want to distribute documents based on an BOR Object Event trigger. The documents are MS Office documents such as Word / Excel. My requirement is to print the documents to the default printer of the user who triggered the event. I am able to trigger the distribution but the result is a SAP mail with the documents attached but I want to actually output the attachments WORD / EXCEL attachments automatically to the printer. Any help would be appreciated.

This is a problem with Microsoft office documents that's been going on for years. If you Google around enough, you'll find people complaining about it going back to Office 2004. I've been looking into it for a couple of years for a client who uses Leopard and office 2004. Possible solutions include: creating an invisible folder at the root level of the SharePoint called “TemporaryItems” and using Terminal to give it the proper permissions; changing all of the numeric user IDs away from 501 and 502 and using very large unique numbers instead; and changing the owner of the share point on the server to something called NETWORK SERVICE (it's unclear to me if this will work on a Mac server or only Windows).
I have applied the TemporaryItems folder solution, and it did solve the problem for a number of months. But it just came back with a vengeance. So here I am, googling around again. I can tell you this problem occurs, with some variations, in versions of Office from 2004 through 2011, and Mac operating systems from Tiger through Snow Leopard. It's rather mind-boggling that this has never been dealt with.
Here are some links for your perusing pleasure:

You can find lots and lots of people online complaining about this. Just spend some time searching. In my case, my clients are only using two computers, one of which is using native filesharing, so it's not even a full-on server situation.

Scenario: Inventory Management- Printing Physical Inventory Document using Smart Forms
I could found out that there is no standard smart form linked to Transaction MI21(Program-RM07IDRU). There is a sapscript ((INVNET) assigned to this transaction, but my requirement is to assign customized smartform to this transaction.If it is not possible to assign smart form to pgm then is it possible to through enhancement.If yes then let me know the enhancement as there are lot of enhancement in the pgm RM07IDRU.
If you have any solution then kindly mentioned it.
Looking forward for kind help.

Check out with your SD guy if the items in billing doc have correct pricing conditions triggered.
From the description it looks like some customizing issue.
Otherwise revert back with the logic how are you trying to get the net value of item.

Printing Microsoft Office documents

I migrated from an iMac 24" with Snow Leopard to an iMac 27" with Mountain Lion. The result is that I cannot print Microsoft Office documents, nor Open Office, nor iWork documents, nor Adobe acrobat professional documents. All the programs crash and close suddenly when I try, even before the "choose printer" frame
The only way is to open the documents with the application "Anteprima" (i do not know the english name, could be Preview?) but this is a cumbersome procedure and altering the original formats.
Does anybody else have the same problem?

To access your user library
Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~`/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Laserjet 200 color m251 won't print in office picture manager

Windows 7 pro, service pack 1. HP laserjet 200 color m251 pcl6 will not print in office picture manager or photo viewer. will print using quick time.
any suggestions?

Hello BrokerDen.
I understand your Laserjet 200 printer is unable to print from office picture manager or photo viewer. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall these programs to see if this resolves your issue?
Something else you can try is applying an alternate print driver that could be compatible with your programs. Please follow these instructions in this thread.
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB.
Let me know if this resolves your issue.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Problems with printing MS Office docs from web-mail in Safari

Hello,
I have some problems when I try to print MS Office documents which are the attachments in my web-mail in Safari. I open the attachment online without saving it on my computer. Safari shows a blank page in Print Preview and the printer prints a blank page too. We tried to repeat it with another printer and with another iMac. The result is the same. PDF files have no problem with previewing and printing. Does anybody know how to resolve this problem? Thank you!

Hi, thank you for your comment. I tried this, but the list of plug-ins doesn't have Adobe PDF browser plugin (or PDF browser plugin). The screenshot is attached....
Do you have any other idea? ) Thanks!

Office PDF Print and office PDF creator(adobe plugin) create different line thickness result

Hi together,
Office PDF Print and office abobe PDF creator(adobe plugin) create different result. It seems that Adobe PDf creater improves line thickness to 1pt instead of 0,3pt. Is there a setting to change to original 0,3 because this 0,3 are standard line thickness for our documents. with adobe V9 the line was 0,3pt. (we need thin, mid and thick lines)
After 2 day's google searching this is the last change for hope :-)
Software Versions
Windows 7
MS Office 2007 (12.0.6668.5000) SP3 MSO (12.0.6662.5000)
Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
Left: MSO Adobe Plugin / MId: MS Word / Rigth: PDF printed over "print" AdobePDF printer

Hi Bill,
Thanks a lot for the fast reply, i have tested it with 300dpi but I didn't get a different result. The bad thing is that not all lines getting thicker. if there is no arrow or ball at the end of the line the line thickness will not change (see Pic). I think this is a Acrobat error, i don't think that this will improve the pdf quality if the progam changes only some lanes and not all to 1pt.
I Think we must downgrade to version 9.

Printing causes Office 2013 applications to crash

We’ve a fresh installed Windows 8 Pro and Office 2013. Printing works correctly in every application but Office 2013.
Word, Excel, Outlook … printing causes the application to crash.
Any idea if this is a known issue?
Regards.

This is the answer that fixes the problem every time, based on my experience and that of others. It works for both the 32 & 64-bit versions of Windows (I'm one of those odd ducks who runs 32-bit Windows 8.1 Professional and it worked perfectly for me).
The problem is not Windows, either 7 or 8, it's Office 2013 and a variety of unique HP LaserJet printers. By the way, the glitch occurs whether you use networked printing or a USB cable; I discovered that early-on when I
was trying to troubleshoot the issue. Also (and it should go without saying), always reboot the computer after you make the change to the driver. Thanks to Shane, who apparently was the first one to discover the solution over a year ago, right
after Office 2013 came out and the problem manifested itself.
After lots of testing I have found a setting that has fixed all my HP CP5520 and HP M4555 printers that were crashing when printing from Office 365's 2013 pro plus.
It's the driver setting in Device settings -> Installable options -> Printer Status notification, this needs to be disabled.
I hope this also fixes other peoples problems.

Color Managed Printing from LR 1.3.1 Inverse of Proper PS CS3 10.0.1 Behavior

Please excuse the length and detail of this post - I'm just trying to be very clear...
Also, it would be helpful if anyone having definitive information about this topic could please email me directly in addition to replying to this forum topic, in order that I might know a response is available sooner (I am new to this forum, and may not check it regularly). My direct email address is [email protected].
Bottom Line: Color managed printing using my own custom-generated profiles from LR 1.3.1 to my Epson 7600 (on Intel-based Mac OS X 10.5.2, but saw the same behavior with 10.5.1) using the current Epson 7600 Intel/10.5x-compatible driver (3.09) is broken, and appears to be doing the exact opposite (inverse) of what I would expect and what PS CS3 does properly.
I am color management experienced, and have been using my custom-generated EPSON 7600 profiles with reliable soft proofing and printing success in PS (both CS2 and now CS3) for some time now. I know how the EPSON printer driver should be set relative to PS/LR print settings to indicate desired function. Images exported from LR to PS and printed from PS using "Photoshop Manages Color" and proper printer driver settings ("No Color Adjustment") print perfectly, so it isn't the Intel-based Mac, the OS, the driver, the profile, or me -- it is LR behaving badly.
The specific behavior is that printing from LR using "Managed by Printer" with the EPSON driver's Color Management setting set properly to "Colorsync" prints a reasonable-looking print, about what you would expect for canned profiles from the manufacturer, and in fact identical to the results obtained printing the same image from PS using "Printer Manages Color". So far so good. Switching to my specific custom profiles in LR and printing with the driver's CM setting set properly to "No Color Adjustment" yields results that are clearly whacked, for both LR settings of "Perceptual" and "Relative CM". Just for completeness and out of curiosity, I tried printing from LR using the same profile (once for "Perceptual" and once more for "Relative CM") with the EPSON driver's CM setting set IMPROPERLY to "Colorsync", and the results were much more in line with what you would expect - I would almost say it was "correct" output. This is why I used the phrase "inverse of proper behavior" in the subject line of this topic. Going one step further, trying this same set of improper settings in PS (PS print settings set to "Photoshop Manages Color" with either Perceptual or Rel CM selected, but using "Colorsync" rather than "No Color Adjustment" in the Color Management pane of the EPSON printer driver) yields whacked results as you would expect that look identical to the whacked results obtained from LR using "proper" settings.
I said above that the improper settings from LR yielded results that I would almost say were correct. "Almost" because the benchmark results rendered by PS using proper settings are slightly different - both "better" and closer to each other - than those rendered by LR using the improper settings. The diffs between the Perceptual and Rel CM prints from LR using improper settings showed more marked differences in tone/contrast/saturation than the diffs observed between the Perceptual and Rel CM prints from PS using proper settings - the image itself was in-gamut enough that diffs between Perceptual and Rel CM in the proper PS prints were quite subtle. Even though the improper LR prints were slightly inferior to the proper PS prints, the improper LR prints were still within tolerances of what you might expect, and still better (in terms of color matching) than the "Managed by Printer" print from LR. At first guess, I would attribute this (the improper LR prints being inferior to the proper PS prints) to the CMM being used by LR being different from (inferior to) the CMM I have selected for use in PS (that being "Adobe (ACE)"). I can live with the LR CMM being slightly different from that use

(Here's the 2nd half of my post...)

I can live with the LR CMM being slightly different from that used in PS - that is not the issue here. What is at issue is trying to determine why LR is clearly behaving differently than PS in this well-understood area of functionality, all other variables being the same. (And, incidentally, why am I not seeing other posts raising these same questions?)
My "workaround" is to use "Managed by Printer" for printing rough prints from LR and to do all other printing from PS, especially given the noted diffs in CMM performance between LR and PS and the fact that printing from PS also supports using Photokit Sharpener for high-quality prints. Still it would be nice to understand why this is happening in LR and to be able to print "decent" prints directly from LR when it seemed appropriate.
Any insights or suggestions will be very much appreciated. Please remember to reply to my direct email address ([email protected]) in addition to your public reply to this forum.
Thank you!

Color managed printing from Photoshop CC 2014

It appears color managed printing has either changed significantly or is no longer possible with Photoshop CC 2014. We're able to turn off color management with both Photoshop CS6 and CC when printing to Canon iPFx400 series printers, but not with CC 2014. Has anyone encountered this issues and if so hopefully discovered a work around?

Im using OSX Mavericks. Photoshop CC 2014 was defaulting to Color Handing: Printer Manges Color in the print Dialog box. I was not use to this and didn't notice. Switching to photoshop manages colors grays out color matching in the printer settings. Im still not sure what has changed as all my profiles are way off with Photoshop CC 2014.

Color-managed printing to Epson 870

I have never succeeded in getting a color-managed print workflow to my Epson Stylus Photo 870 printer using PSE5 (or 4 or 3). The prints are consistently darker than what I see on screen, though the colors otherwise seem about right.
I'm pretty familiar with color management generally, and I have read the tutorials in the Missing Manual and at computer-darkroom.com. I will describe my recent experiments.
Perhaps someone who uses this printer (or a similar Epson printer) can offer some insight. What is noteworthy about these Epson printers is that they come with only a single ICC profile, rather than one profile per media type. The processing to compensate for media differences occurs within the driver. This complicates the color management story.
1. Computer setup: Windows XP SP2, Samsung SyncMaster 193P LCD display.
2. Monitor calibration: This monitor has programmable internal color conversion. I used the MagicTune utility to tune the monitor to sRGB. I then used Adobe Gamma to confirm that this is essentially an sRGB monitor; that is, the profile produced by Adobe Gamma yields an appearance that is indistinguishable from the standard sRGB profile.
3. Photos are JPEGs tagged as sRGB by the camera. I am printing them from PSE5 Organizer. Color management set to "Print" (AdobeRGB). Paper is Epson Glossy Photo Paper. Media type selected in the driver is Photo Paper.
In the following experiments, I varied the Print Space setting in PSE's Print Options and the Custom > Advanced color settings in the Epson driver.
Experiment 1: Print Space: "Same as Source". Driver: "ICM". Result: somewhat dark prints.
Experiment 2: Print Space: "Epson Stylus Photo 870". Driver: "No Color Adjust". Result: even darker prints, with a slight color cast.
Experiment 3: Print Space: "Epson Stylus Photo 870". Driver: "ICM". Result: same as experiment 3.
Experiment 4: Print Space: "Same as Source". Driver: "PhotoEnhance". Result: by far the closest to what I see on the screen, and (subjectively) the best rendition of the original scene.
Of course, experiment 4 is depending on some magic processing in the Epson driver, rather than being a true ICC color-managed workflow. I'd like to figure out why my attempts at a color-managed workflow aren't working right.

"So it seems that Organizer and Editor do color management differently when
printing.... I would not have expected this; it seems like a bug."
My Epson 870 finally died. But, while it was working I did manage to get it
to work very well in a fully color managed workflow. I calibrated my
monitor with a hardware calibration device. The generic 870 ICC profile
that came with the printer gave me prints that were too dark compared to my
calibrated monitor. I had a custom profile made for the printer for each
specific paper I use and that made all the difference. For PSE 3, I always
printed only from the editor and used a fully color managed work flow
specifying the custom printer profile as the print space. The Epson printer
driver was set to custom and in the advanced tab, the "No Color Adjustment"
setting for color management was selected.
I didn't like to print from Organizer because I didn't care for the way it
handled things. The creations portion of Organizer didn't pick up all the
organizer color settings either if I recall correctly. The different
behavior is not so much a bug as it is two different programs that are
packaged together and loosely interact -- Organizer began life as Adobe
Album.
I don't know about PSE 4 and 5 as I went to Photoshop CS2 instead of
upgrading PSE. I still have PSE 3 installed, but I seldom use it anymore.
I would have thought that the newer versions would have done something about
the Organizer printing issues but it sounds like that hasn't happened yet.

Managed Printer pref's in WM not being applied correctly.

I'm having real troubles trying to manage printers on our network using Workgroup Manager.
What I'd like to do is to be able to manage all users and computers list of available printers, so we can manage print volumes better and reduce problems with people not having access to the correct printer.
I know this is achievable using Workgroup Manager, and I believe I've set it all up correctly, however, it's simply not working.
Here's what I've done:
Added necessary printers to the Server using Sys Prefs on server. (Checked the printers by sending test prints from server)
Started Print Service on server using Server Admin, and setup queue's for each printer using IPP.
Made changes to User Preferences in Workgroup Manager to 'Always' manage Printing Prefernces, and added the relevant printers from the available list into the Printer List for each user/group.
I've duplicated these settings for the Computers aswell, to double check.
I've checked on user's logged into machines, and from System Profiler have confirmed that the relevant Managed Settings have been picked up by the client,
BUT...
When user's try to print, the managed printers I allocate them in WM, DO NOT appear in the list of available printers within any application, and in Sys Prefs / Print & Fax NO printers are displayed.
If I manually go in and manage Printers, I can add the printers which are shared by the Server and they work OK, but the whole point is that I want to manage the settings from WM, across large groups etc.
All other settings managed by WM (user dock settings, home folder mounts etc.) DO appear to be working, just not the Printing ones.
Please help!

Hi,
Well, that makes sense, and I've followed your instructions aswell as possible, but infortunately, I can't find a PPD file for one of the main printers - the HP2600n. Even the PPD for the HP3600 didnt work (although I am using HP3600dn's)
This just seems ridiculous - both printers are new, and not exactly obscure, and yet one of the most fundamental reasons for using a server - sharing service such as printing, simply causes more trouble than it's worth.
I can't beleive Server 10.5 can't accomplish this relatively simple task without this much ******* around required.
Also - if I manage a large number of groups/users print preferences, I would have to manually edit the com.apple.mcxprinting.plist for EVERY user/group - it would almost be easier to just go around the client machines manually installing the printers!
Rubbish Apple - sort this out please!

So you are:
1. Sending emails to the printer email address from your computer, and they print on your printer.
2. Sending emails to the printer email address from your iPad and iPhone and they fail to print.
What email client are you sending from on your computer? E.g., Gmail, Hotmail, etc.?
What email client are you sending from on your iPad and iPhone? is it the same email client you are using on your computer?

CUPS in 10.5.7 and managing print jobs

I know that 10.5.7 modified CUPS. Printing directly still works fine (I'm battling other issues with printer sharing but that's a different topic that I'll tackle after this one is sorted) however when trying to manage print jobs via CUPS I see no jobs at all... not completed jobs, not current jobs, not jobs waiting in the queue.
I rolled back to 10.5.6 and everything works fine. Applied the combo update and the problem came back immediately.
I tried replacing the current cupsd.conf file with one from when the system worked... no change.
I'm seeing the same problem on numerous Intel iMacs in a lab setting as well as on my personal MacBook Pro.
It's difficult to manage print jobs that you can't see. Any ideas?
Bob Smith

I may well do that but that will be a very time consuming process considering 25 computers are affected and it would force the re-do of a number of other tedious non Apple updates that can't be batch done via Apple Remote Desktop. I don't want to go down that road if there's a chance that I don't have to. Since Apple has chosen to modify CUPS I assume that sticking with 10.5.6 is only postponing the inevitable. I might as well deal with it now if possible. I'm not giving up that quickly.
