Failed to get printer information

I have a legacy application in C++, now ported to VS 2010. All works fine, except I get an intermittent error. I'm printing a CNiReport to a pdf printer (Win2Pdf). Every so often I get an error dialog pop up with the message "failed to get printer information" and the print fails (no pdf produced). This comes from the CnIReport:rint. Unfortunately I'm trying to run my program unattended and this dialog hangs waiting to be dismissed. If I dismiss the dialog and let the program continue, it does and then may or may not get the same error on the next Print. It fails both if I pass the printer name to Print and if I pass an empty name to make it use the default printer.
Can someone from NI confirm that the dialog is coming from CNiReport:rint and is there anything I can do to stop it? Also, why would it happen only occasionally?
Thanks

Hey Phil,
Could you post a screen shot of the error dialog?
It is uncharacteristic of NI software to have an error cause a dialog to popup. Typically an error code is returned passed and dealt with in error handling or the execution (compiling, run, etc) failing. so I am inclined to say this error is associated with the printer driver.

    Actually, the problem is much more sinister...
    I have a better Arch linux debug and resolve thread for this problem:

    In short, recompiling the kernel using the gcc 4.9 version works.
    Problem now, because arch is a rolling release, is gcc 5.1.0 is now in core - and the vmhgfs, while compiling, hard locks the VM.  I'm creating another vmware community thread for this one.  Will come back and edit this post with link.

  • Google cloud print for officejet pro 8600 - could not get printer information from hp.

    I just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 today. Everything seems to work great except for the connector to Google Cloud Print. I can print from AirPrint, as well as emails to the hpeprint.com address, but when I try to register via the google site, I receive the "could not get printer information from HP" error message.
    The printer is connected via wireless ethernet, and seems to work find otherwise. I have no restrictions on who can send print jobs, and I have changed the email address for hpeprint.com a few times, as suggested in other forum threads, but it can never connect to the the Cloud Print service. I am at the latest firmware level listed on the HP website. I have tried to initiate the connection from multiple PC's as well as multiple web browsers.
    This was a big factor in purchasing this printer. Help anyone?
    This question was solved.

    Hey rch33k, I am sorry for the ongoing issue that you are having accessing Google Cloud Print. This is being looked into as this is not a singular issue and is affecting other customers as well.  Engineers are currently investing this problem to try and provide a solution to it.  I want to again apologize and thank you all for your patience in this matter.  They only other thing to attempt at this time is to contact Google for further assistance to see if anything can be done on their end. Hopefully this will be fixed quickly

  • Google cloud print "could not get printer information from hp"

    As of today google cloud print has stopped working with my laser jet pro. I started getting an error message that "hp eprint is unavailable at this time". I decided to remove my hp printer from google cloud print. I haven't been able to add it back in since. Every time I try to verify the printer with google cloud print I get the error message "could not get printer information from hp". Everything seems to be configured properly as far as I can tell. I even removed the printer from hp connected and readded the printer and have changed my printers email address. Help please! I am on Chrome OS and this is the only option I have to print.  

    The issue just kind of resolved itself today and I was able to add the printer. I'm assuming it was some kind of server issue on hp's end because I haven't changed anything since yesterday. 

  • HP Photosmart 7510 "Could not get printer information from HP" NOT SOLVED

    OK.  So, I have searched all over the forums for a clear solution to this problem, and I have yet to see one that applies to my printer (HP Photosmart 7510).  I have regestered the printer, selected 'everyone' in the allowed senders area, and am still receiving the same error message when trying to connect Google Cloud Print.  Being able to print my google docs is EXTREMELY important... can anyone shed light on this?
    If I have missed a post on my specific problem, I apologize for the double-posting. 
    Thanks

    amp85,
    The ePrint servers have been going through some heavy maintence here lately to upgrade the servers and it seems like it is causing issues with Google Cloud Print. I would keep trying and see if anything changes, it should resolve itself when the maintence has been completed. If you are still having issues after the next couple days, post back in here and let me know. Hopefully I'll have some more information about this issue by then if it has not yet been resolved.

  • Getting printer information for Desktop Intelligence (FullClient) object

    After I query * from CI_INFOOBJECTS for a FullClient object, I am having problems accessing printer info:
    IFullClient deski = (IFullClient) obj;
    IFullClientPrinterOptions optPrint = deski.getFullClientPrinterOptions();
    integer copies = optPrint.getCopies();
    raises an exception that SI_COPIES property does not exist.
    Please help.

    There's a SDK method because you have to set it before you can get it.
    I'm assuming you haven't set any printer options for those FullClient documents.
    To see if printer setting has been set, check getFullClientPrinterOptions().isEnabled().  If false, then there's no guarantee any of the properties for the IFullClientPrinterOptions have been set.
    It's different for Crystal Reports, since Crystal Reports are strongly tied to the printer against which the report was designed, so it's always there (or set to a virtual "No Printer").  Desktop Intelligence (FullClient) is not.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • ADP fail to get the information in WebLogic 10.3 version

    I have configuration ADP in Enterprise Manager 12c r2 version in linux 64 bit version
    and I can successfully get result for the weblogic server 10.3.2 version,but in customer environment they are
    spring application running in WebLogic Server 10.3.0 using sun jdk, I can get the pages they access but I can not
    get the performance data about these pages, as I using Jrockit, It can get the result.
    but if using jrockit,their applcation will down after running some times,so I want to ask does ADP support wls10.3 version and
    support sun JDK 1.6.0_14?
    Thanks for your reply.

    We only monitor SpringBeans from within ADP. If you are looking for page level metrics, I think your best bet would be to deploy Real User Experience Insight (RUEI) on the front-end with Enterprise Manager Cloud Control monitoring the back-end. JVM diagnostics should be configured as that will obviously provide a large degree of your production level diagnostics alongside RUEI, but given that this is a Spring application as opposed to an ADF, SOA, or portal application, ADP probably doesn't make much sense in regards to getting full visiblity into this environment with the exception of the SpringBeans metrics.
    Cheers,

  • Failed to get the document information (LO 26315)

    Hi,
    I have to create an Xcelsius dashboard where I use a Live Office connection based on a WebI-report. The WebI is created on top of a BEx Query.
    I need to pass 12 parameters to the WebI-report in orde to get the correct data.
    Everything works fine in design-time, but when I want to preview the dashboard, I get the error: Failed to get the document information (LO 26315).
    After investigating the issue, I've noticed that everything works fine when the parameters I have to pass, are only created in the WebI-report. But in my case it is a BEx variable that causes the error.
    There is no possible way that I can recreate the BEx variable in the Universe (There are restricted key figures, calculated key figures and cell restrictions in the BEx query).
    My question: is there a way to pass a parameter from an Xcelsius dashboard to a WebI-report via a Live Office connection to a BEx variable?

    Fred,
    on the SAP Notes Search page on sdn.sap.com, you can enter the note number in a text field at the right side of the page, just above the Search Option part.
    Just enter Note 1357924 in that text field and press the blue icon with the arrows next to it. Thiw ill show the corresponding note.

    I have PSE13 on my system, Windows 8.1, 64-bit.  It was functioning properly after installation and now I get these messages when I go to print:  "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available.  You need to check your printer settings before printing."  and then this statement:  "Default printer could not be opened."  I have reloaded drivers for both printers and made any upgrades possible.  It was working fine before and now all of a sudden, nothing.  Would prefer to have old PSE v.12 back, it worked with no problems.

    See this thread
    My Photoshop Elements 13 doesn't recognize my Canon PRO-10 printer. I've tried EVERYTHING. Reinstalled all my software, didn't fix anything. Can anyone help?

  • Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information.

    Hi All,
    In my dashboard there are live office connections which has optional prompts defined in SAP BI. I have bound the cells to these prompts in live office object properties.
    There are no errors while refreshing the LO connections from excel sheet.
    But when i run that dashboard and give BLANK value for that prompt then it throws the error :
    Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information. (LO 26315).
    Reply highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    DJ

    Hi Hardik,
    I am building a similar solution as yours connecting webi reports to Bex queries and reading the webi data through live office into the dashboards. I am using almost similar versions as yours - BW 7.1 SP5, BO 4.1 SP4, Dashboards and Live Office SP4 versions. I am facing issues setting up the live office connections itself. I create the Live office connections within an excel and when I try to import this excel spreadsheet into my dashboard designer, it runs forever and crashes.
    Could you please list out the steps you performed to get the Dashboard to preview live office data? Do you have OLAP connections for BW cubes and created WebI reports using these connections or You created a Universe on top of the Bex Queries?
    It would be great if you could share the steps performed.
    With respect to your issue, check if the report engine service is running. Do you have any error message details apart from this error?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Rohini.

    Trying to update Photoshop 5 Camera Raw. Get message installation failed. No other information. Please advise. Running Windows 7 64 bit on Dell Precision m4500. 8G 500G. Is there an alternative way to update the camera profiles in ACR. I am trying to add a Nikon D750 and Canon Powershot G15.

    you can update ps cs5 manually:, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    but you can only update to cr 6.7 and that camera needs 8.7 or better.
    your options are to upgrade your ps or use the dng converter, Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7

  • Failed to get information fro MP: 80072ee7

    I am getting the error within my SMSTS.log file when trying to push a new image in our lab environment.  I have read others but everyone is using PXE boot or some sort and it comes down to DNS and DHCP.  However, in my environment that I am using
    we don't have DHCP.  I have created a custom network boot disk that I have done in the past at other locations.  I manually enter the network information.   Within a few seconds I get the standard Failed to Run Task Sequence.  When
    I hit F8 and bring up the smsts.log file I have an error Failed to get information fro MP: [MP Server.FQDN.example]  80072ee7.
    I can ping our DNS server just fine.  I can ping the IP, the NetBIOS name, and the FQDN of my Management point from the command line within WinPE just fine.  From the management point server itself I can go to
    http://localhost, http://netbiosname, and http://FQDN and get the standard IIS 8 logo. Since I am not look using PXE I can't check logs on that component. 
    And since it doesn't communicate with management point I don't think I can see anything from the Site server logs anyway.
    For the kicks I have checked the History of a task sequence deployment on a computer report and it comes up blank.
    Any suggestions?

    Jason,
    My bet is on what you just mentioned.  The comapny I was at had internal firewalls on top of firewalls...  :)   The biggest pain in my neck was trying to get ports opened correctly between subnets, etc.  I will have them check that
    and get back to me.  I am no longer there as of this week and the hard part is the guy that will take over those roles is a little green when it comes to SCCM 2012.  He is smart and I have no doubt he will pick it up but still it might take a while
    and many back and forth emails.
    Thanks,
    Kris
