Duplex Printing in Reports 6.0

We are attempting to print a two sided document from a HP Duplex
printer using Reports 6.0 with little success. When we print a
similiar document using Microsoft Word, the document
successfully prints on both sides of the paper. Oracle support
has not been able to give us a solution. Any advice would be
helpful.
Thanks,

Duplex Printing in Reports 3.0

I am trying to print a report on both sides of the paper, using Reports 3.0. I have no problem doing this with Reports 2.5. The printer properties have been set properly, so it must be the report. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanx
Some details: (I'm not sure which, if any, are relevant)
- "Logical Horizontal Panels" property of report = 2
- "Panel Print Order" property of report = "Across/Down" ("Down/Across" makes no difference)
- "Print on both sides" in printer properties is set to "Flip on long edge"

The foregoing list shows that I do not have sufficient disk space. Oracle Install documentation says I should have 3GB for a full install. My second hard disk should be able to handle this, but I do not know yet how I can add more disk space to the file system. Can you please tell me how I can do this?
Meanwhile I am deleting the 13 files 9iAS10220_part1 through 9iAS10220_part13 to free up some disk space. Having extracted files and created Disk1 through Disk5, I do not think I will need these 13 files anymore.
I am still trying to understand what runInstaller script is trying to do.

Duplex printing in reporting services

I have been working on this problem for days. I have a report that is grouped
and will be printed duplex (front and back). There is a page break after each
group. I want to ensure that the start of a new group does not end up printed
on the back side of an old group. For example:
Page 1 (printed on front side of paper): group 1
Page 2 (printed on back side of paper): more group 1
Page 3 (printed on front side of paper): more group 1
Page 4 (printed on on back side of paper): group 2 <--- This is a problem
I need:
Page 1 (front side): group 1
Page 2 (back side): more group 1
Page 3 (front side): more group 1
Page 4 (back side): <This Page Intentionally Left Blank>
Page 5 (front side): group 2
Issues that I've run into include the fact that SSRS renders the entire body
first, before rendering the header/footer. This prevents the body of the
report from knowing which page it will end up on when it is rendered (and is
also why you cannot reference Globals!PageNumber from the body).
The restriction above also prevents using a variable in custom code to know
when to generate a page break. If you set this variable in the header/footer
then the body will never see it as the entire body is rendered first and will
therefore only see the initial state of the variable.
I have seen this issue posted in a number of places,
but no one ever has a solution to this (except switching back to
Crystal Reports). Have any MVPs ever addressed this issue? I am
really hoping someone can offer a good solution or work-around.

Duplex printing in Word 14.4.6 on HP2015d

Under layout the print double-sided option is greyed out. But the printer prints pdfs doublesided so this is presumably a microsoft word issue (as usual).

Duplex Printing in Crystal Reports

Post Author: Razzle00
CA Forum: General
Where can I get some information or sample code on how to duplex print with crystal reports?
Thanks,
Razzle

Post Author: senglee
CA Forum: General
Here was how I did it using vb.net and crystal reports.
1. In the report, create a seperate detail section to hold your second page. Crystal will see it as Details a & b. In section a, set the new page after property. This will cause the second page (details b) to print on a seperate page.
2. Ok. The next step is to programmically tell your printer to print in duplex. Study the code below and modify it to suite your needs.
               ' Declare an object of your report.                Dim objReportObject As New rptTheDailySavings
                'Declare a printoptions object of the objReportObjects print option. Set the settings.                Dim PrintOptions As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions = objReportObject.PrintOptions                PrintOptions.PrinterName = "Your Printer Name Here"                PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperOrientation.DefaultPaperOrientation                PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize                PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PrinterDuplex.Default                PrintOptions.PaperSource = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSource.Auto
                ' Send the report to the printer.                objReportObject.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 1, 2)
Hope this helps.

Crystal report 11 - duplex printing ???

Hi, I have a problem with duplex printing. Our printer supports duplex printing. When I print a document from Windows7, the printer prints on both sides of the sheet - that is correct, but when printing from our information system (information system used CR11 to display reports), the printer prints each page of the document on a separate sheet - so it is not duplex.
How can I solve this problem? something has to be set in the report design?
Thanks

How to print XML report pdf output print both side on paper?

I'd like you to make sure that you are using CR version 12.2.3.456. To get to this version, you need to apply SP 2:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
and then FP2.3:

HP All in One C7280 no longer duplex printing

I have had my C7280 for over 2 years now and the duplex printing is working fine. I have checked the control panel printer properties, verified that double sided printing is on for each print in my programs - and still the duplex printing no longer works. It stopped working suddenly. Any helps will be greatly appreciated.
Also, even tho I have paper in the feeder tray, it consistently refuses to accept that it is there and tells me to load paper. I have tried everything I know.
Please someone help - this is end of year reporting time.

There is such as thing as being too close to the wireless router, try moving it at least 15 feet away. Also, just turn it off and back on again, sometimes that clears up slow printing.

Problems with duplex printing in Office 2004

My computer is a Mac Pro with the latest version of Leopard. My printer is an HP Laserjet 2420dn. One of its important features from my perspective is its two-sided printing feature. The two-sided feature works with PDF documents and Iwork "pages" documents but for it does not work with Word documents (Office 2004). In the case of the Word documents, the two-sided feature is listed as "off" and no box appears in the print pop-up for "two-sided." Obviously this is not correct as in system preferences, "duplex" is checked as on and of course it is working with other programs. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on here with word and duplex printing???

Hi Patricia,
We are using the same white paper 'How to web printing' and it is helping us a lot. We are also working on BW3.5. Without this enhancement, our reports were not printable at all.
Please let me know, if you need more information. Thx. Praveen

That sounds like an issue with the print command being generated by Oracle Apps based on the printer driver settings. Try getting the print command working separately from Oracle Apps with a test text file (put the initialisation string at the start of the file and the reset string at the end of the file - remembering that /e is meant to be the Escape character, you can use Ctrl-V Esc to enter that in Unix/Linux). Note that you need to be doing this on the server that is running the concurrent manager - that is where Oracle Apps will be printing from.
Once you have the print command working directly, then you can try to get the print command generated correctly for your printer driver.

Duplex printing issues

Hi all, run into a problem with duplex printing in oracle reports lately where data for seperate groups is ending up on the previous or next group's page. This is using 10g and a xerox high speed printer.
Basically if I have a report with groups a, b, and c. The output should be:
1st page - A1/A2
2nd page - A3/Blank
3rd page - B1/B2
4th page - C1/C2
5th page - C3/C4
Instead what we are getting is:
1st page - A1/A2
2nd page - A3/B1
3rd page - B2/C1
4th page - C2/C3
5th page - C4/BLANK
Is there any way to set a break or blank page between groups in oracle from the same query to seperate them for duplex printing? I've looked and a solution seems to be to add an empty boilerplate object in the header/body that checks the mod of the page number, and if odd, prints or displays to get a blank page, otherwise if even does nothing. Is there a better or "cleaner" solution to this?

So I've actually tried to do this and it doesn't seem to work. From Oracles FAQ's:
"I am printing statements on a double-sided stationary capable printer. To ensure that each new statement starts on a new physical piece of paper, I need to add a blank page if the previous statement had an odd number of page sides. How can I do this?
Place an invisible boilerplate line before the repeating frame that contains your data. Give it a Page Break before and anchor it to the repeating frame. Then write a format trigger that only prints the boilerplate object (and thus the page break) if it is an odd page number. "
I've tried adding a line, with page break before on, and anchoring it to my repeating frame with the following:
physicalpage number;
begin
     srw.get_page_num(physicalpage);
IF MOD(physicalpage,2) = 0 THEN
          return(FALSE);
     ELSE
     return(TRUE);
     END IF;
end;, it either does nothing or gives an error saying horizontal line does not fit withing repeating group x.
Does anyone know how to properly seperate repeating groups from an oracle report when using duplex, or double sided printing?

Acrobat X: Lost default duplex print

When I upgraded, I lost the ability to duplex print by default and would like to know if I can restore it. I'm working on a mac and there is no duplex option in Acrobat's print command. My printer settings are set on duplex and it operates just fine in other programs. In Acrobat, I have to go into its printer settings via Properties to select duplex. I just want Acrobat to not override my printer settings and default to single-sided when I want 2-sided. Is there way to at least change the default print settings in Acrobat without having to change the Properties setting for each and every file? What an odd feature for Adobe to put into this software and I hope a fix is imminent if there is no simple solution in the current version. One expects an upgrade to be an improvement only in areas where it improves the workflow, not detracts from it, yes?

The changes in Acrobat & Reader 10.1.2 associated with printing were clearly a big problem. As far as we know, no one actually lost the capability of controlling simplex versus duplex printing, but rather, a very ill-conceived mechanism was introduced that assumed that if your printer has duplex capabilities of any type, you would or should use them.
The plans of record are to provide a fix for this issue in the next quarterly update to Acrobat and Reader due next month. There will be a control for duplex in the print dialog, but it will only reflect what you have already set in the printer properties (either on Windows or Macintosh). The dialog will allow you to change that setting while in Acrobat, but it will not make assumptions as to what you could or should do vis-a-vis duplex printing. In this respect, it will be similar to print dialogs in applications such as Microsoft Office in terms of allowing access to duplex printing, but not forcing it.
However, there is something peculiar in your particular situation. Normally, with Acrobat & Reader 10.1.2, if the printer supports duplex as determined by the printer's PPD file (for PostScript devices) or from the driver otherwise, you would see a duplex control in the print dialog itself. The fact that your printer supports duplex (correct?) and that you aren't seeing the duplex control in the print dialog is a problem we aren't currently aware of. You are seeing the forcing of duplex without the ability to control it from the print dialog? Correct? I'll send the report of this to the appropriate group within Acrobat engineering.
- Dov
Hello Dov.
Thank you for your input. Can you confirm that these strange printing issues would also cause my PDF files to print in color and 1-sided even when the default in Control panel for my printer is 2-sided and B&W?
Thanks!

Duplex printing for last 2 pages only

A customer has an invoice report where they want the terms and conditions (which are 2 pages) duplexed while the report itself is not printed that way. Any ideas if this can be done using native SSRS?
Sherry

I am not sure this will work or not, but you could embed the printer code for duplex printing into your stream.

Duplex printing ceases

I have my iMac connected to a Brother HL-5350DN printer. I normally duplex print, but on Monday this suddenly stopped operating - it now only prints p 1, apparently duplexes but gives me a blank rear page, then prints p 2 on a new page and again duplexes (apparently) with a blank back etc etc. Setting in print dialogue boxes and in preferences seem to be unchanged and OK. Ideas?

You are not alone. From what I can tell, most Brother printer users lost the ability to duplex with the recent Apple Software Update: "Brother Printer Update 2.8." This happened to me and many others. There are threads here on the boards which discuss this.
You CANNOT fix this by deleting the Brother drivers and running Software Update again. In fact, Software Update is exactly the problem. When there is a "Brother Printer Update" with a version number other than 2.8, you can run it. Until then, decline to install the BPU 2.8. I have been prompted serveral times now to reinstall the update.
To fix you Brother printers, you need to head over to the Brother support site, enter the information regarding your particular printer, and downloand/install the Brother drivers. Some have deleted their printers and reinstalled them after installing the drivers from Brother, others not - still with sucess. My advice would be to delete the printer, install the driver from Brother, then install your printer again. In any event, do NOT use the Apple Brother Printer Update 2.8 until the problem is fixed. I would assume the version number will change.
Please report the problem to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
