Failing to print report on some printers

Hi All,
I am hoping someone can assist with a problem I am having. I am printing a crystal report from a .Net Webservice. The code works perfectly on many sites and on my development environments. There is however one site that we are experiencing a problem with. When set to print to the printers on the server, the system crashed with a couple of errors, these are as follows:
1) The request could not be submitted for background processing
2) The Report Application Server failed
3) Invalid Printer Secified.
When printing to these printers the errors occure randomly every 3-4 prints. Initially I found another post in this forum regarding an specific HP printer that was not compatible. We then changed to a SHARP printer...same problem. I have now set up a Geteric Text only "dummy" type printer and the problem disappears. The prints queue up on the printer and we get no errors.
If there is anyone who can assist me with this I would much appreciate it.
I am running with .Net 2008 Runtime for Visual Studio, Crystal 10.5.
Steven.

This is not a permissions, or code issue, so you're left with 2 possibilities:
1) Printer drivers. Compare printer drivers that work and choose on of those for this site. Make sure you have the most recent updates for those drivers, and that they are not 3rd party / "knock offs".
2) Runtime - Crystal Reports runtime and other. You may want to use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility to trace through the differences.

  • REP-1849: Failed while printing : Problem while printing on network printer

    I am getting this error message while printing the report on Network Printer.
    "REP-1849: Failed while printing"
    Reports Server is not installed on my machine.
    On shared printer, it has no problems.
    Platform is Win2000. Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3
    Plz help !
    Thanks in advance !

    Try the following if your printer is a network printer
    1. Add Printers - select Local Printer
    2. In the Add Printer wizard, select "create a new port" option and select "TCP/IP" as type
    3. Write the IP address of the network printer in the "Add standard TCP/IP Printer Port wizard". The port name becomes IP_<ip addr>. Click Next.
    4. Select the printer and printer type in "Add Printer" wizard.
    5. Select a driver and Write a printer name. This completes the setup. Use this printer name to print from Oracle reports.
    Hope this helps..

  • Print the report to different Printers

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2.
    We've defined a check printing report , which prints the output to a printer directly.
    We've mentioned this printer in the Concurrent Program definition.
    Its printing the output to a pre printed stationary.
    Now we need to print output to different printers based on the responsibility.
    Can anyone tell me the best way to achieve it.
    Regards,
    Abi

  • Some text in PDF fails to print -- document originally created with InDesign

    Hello. Thanks in advance for your help.
    I joined Creative Cloud a few days ago, and dowloaded several CS6 programs -- InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat XI Pro. My operating system is Windows 7.
    I created a simple order form using InDesign, and it prints perfectly directly from the InDesign platform. After creating a PDF by selecting Adobe PDF as the printer, the resulting PDF looks perfect on screen when viewed in Acrobat XI Pro. However, when printing from Acrobat to a paper-and-ink printer, chunks of the text go missing. Two other people who were emailed the PDF of this document have experienced the same problem, with the same chunks of text failing to print.
    Since it prints perfectly from InDesign, I am guessing the problem lies somewhere on the Acrobat side of the equation. Since the same problem has occured with several different printers, I am assuming it's not a problem with my particular printer.
    I have already tried unchecking the "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" option in the Adobe PDF printing preferences, and that did not fix it. I didn't expect that was the problem, since the rest of the type prints perfectly.
    I would like to attach two PDFs and/or the original InDesign document, but I cannot find an attachment option on the interface for this discussion page. I would be happy to email them to anyone who would like to take a look at them.
    As usual, I am working on a deadline and would very much appreciate any help you can give me.
    Thank you!

    YES! A SOLUTION!
    Thanks to an Adobe user who goes by "Test Screen Name" for this solution!
    DO NOT print to PDF from InDesign to create a PDF. Instead, use the Export function.
    I followed that advice, and it solved the problem. Hope this helps you, JuleeBruce!

  • Problems selecting paper bin/source with some printers drivers

    Hi,
    I'm using CR2008 SP2 .NET SDK.
    With some printers drivers i'm unable to set the correct paper source in the print options.
    For example, if I use Toshiba e-series PLC driver (you can find it here:drivers and select, for example, the e-STUDIO281C printer).
    Even if i set the correct paper source on the report designer when i print it through code (without applying any changes to the report) the report is always printed by the default paper source defined at the printer preferences.
    The same thing happens when you do it through the designer.
    I already tried the following workaround but without any success: at the CR Designer, go to the File Menu, and choose Page Setup. Under Page Options, check the Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size. This often helps with these issues. Resave the report, and see if that works any better.
    Is there any known issues with printer drivers and CR2008?
    (This thread was originally posted in [.NET Development forum|Re: Problems selecting paper bin/source with some printers drivers])

    Oops, sorry my mistake. I'll leave it here for now.
    How CR works is to get the Printer info from the DEVMODE structure, which is where the printer driver settings and configurations are saved for each printer installed.
    What I've seen plenty of times before is within the DEVMODE structure there is one area called DMExtra and in that structure it holds various custom options. Quite often the issue is we query that structure to get info but the problem lies in the driver returning an invalid structure size and therefore CR can't use any custom settings.
    Same type of issue if they use an uncommon (ENUM) value for the paper size. In code you can see this in debug mode. But if you simply pass the values as pointers and not attempt to alter them at all CR should not alter what the designer used and saved in the RPT file when the reprot was designed.
    What can happen when CR loads the printer info it fails due to problems with the printer itself. There are missing files from the install of the printer which cause Crystal to stop getting the info.
    Try this on a clean PC with no other printers installed, Install just that printer driver and then install Crystal Reports. If it still fails then we know it could be Crystal having problems with that driver. You may want to post your issue with the printer manufacturer also. They may be able to test also and determine if it is a CR or their driver issue. They can download a trial version of CR for testing.
    Trial lin is: Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
    If that's not an option you could purchase a support case here for one of our Engineers to escalate to R&D. If it turns out to be a CR problem then you'll get a credit for the case, if it is a printer driver problem then no credit.
    Single Case Purcahse is: http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300?resid=-Z5tUwoHAiwAAA8@NLgAAAAS&rests=1254701640551
    Be sure to tell them it needs to go to the Report Designer team first.
    There is also a possibilty their driver has issue with Windows OS and the .NET framework. Crystal reports is also UNICODE compliant so the printer driver would have a better success rate if their driver was also unicode compliant.
    Bottom line is if it doesn't work in Crystal Designer it won't work in code either.
    Thanks again

  • Macbook X 10.6.8. Epson SX218 failed to print every fifth line, but only in MS Office documents. I updated Office. Now that line is slightly blurred as though the printer had missed out a pass.

    I am helping a disabled person with a printing problem involving a Macbook, an Epson SX218, and MS Office for Macs. The Macbook had been recently updated to OS X 10.6.8, and the printer driver reinstalled, by an Apple store. She complained the printer failed to print about every fifth line. It turned out there was no problem at all with printing web pages and emails, but only with Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). I updated
    Office. Later all lines were printed, but imperfectly with a bit missing from bottom of every fifth line, as though the printer had missed out a pass, so I am not sure the Office update is what made the difference. I am not at all sure whether this problem arises from the Mac or the printer or Office.

    It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
    For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
    Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
    If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
    Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
    After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
    If the problem persits, please report back here.

  • Printable Intermittently Failing to Print Completely

    I have an application that uses the Printable interface to print 2 or 3 PrinterJobs upon an ActionEvent. The PrinterJobs are printed on 2 different networked printers--1 PrinterJob to one networked printer and 1 or 2 PrinterJobs to a different networked printer. The application is running on Windows XP and the printers are spooled with the standard Windows spooler. The JRE is 1.5.
    The ActionListener (in outline) looks like this:
    pjob1 = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    pjob1.setPrintService(printServiceA);
    pjob1.setPrintable(printableOne);
    pjob1.print();
    pjob2 = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    pjob2.setPrintService(printServiceB);
    pjob2.setPrintable(printableOne);
    pjob2.print();
    if (condition)
    {  pjob3 = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
       pjob3.setPrintService(printServiceB);
       pjob3.setPrintable(printableTwo);
       pjob3.print();
    }So pjob1 and pjob2 use the same Printable on different printers and pjob3 uses a different Printable on the same printer as pjob2. pjob1, pjob2, and pjob3 are class variables of the main class and the ActionListener is a method of the main class.
    My problem is that intermittently, the second PrinterJob (pjob2) fails to print everything that it should. I know that the problem is not with the printers because I've set the spooler to save the spooled jobs and the spooled output is incomplete. The amount of non-printed data varies but it always appears to begin printing and then stop at some point in the order in which the print() method prints it. This leads me to believe that there is some sort of race condition.
    Has anyone seen anything like this or have any suggestions as to how to track this down?
    Thanks.

  • Fatal error at printing report

    When i add a table with records more than 500 rows to the report and print it to pdf with FreePdfXP, an Error-Dialog shew up with the note " Error: -2147352567 occurred at failed to open printer". After clicking on the button "Stop" an other dialog shew up with "Fatal Internal Error: "drawmgr.cpp", line 3504 LabVIEW Version 7.1". Then the complete Labview programme was shut down.
    When the number of the rows doesn't exceed 500, the printing report works without error. But by the second time of printing report the error shew up again when the total rows of records at first and second time of printing report are more than 500.
    Can anyone give me some suggestion,  thank you in advance.

    Sorry, i have just wanted to change the message subject. but i can't find the edit link.
    i guess, this problem would be due to the FreePdfXP-Driver or the Print Report.vi .

  • Position sensitive output prints differently on different printers

    Post Author: dev elopment
    CA Forum: .NET
    .NET 2003
    I am trying to print some text on an Avery 5260  (3 labels wide by 10 labels tall sheet).  I have positioned 3 text fields in the report Details section (for a row of labels) so that they print perfectly on my HP LaserJet 1100 and then set the height of the Details section so that all 10 labels high print correctly as well.  However when the same report is generated and printed on another printer (tried 4 different ones so far) the output no longer stays in the proper position.  Some printers only print 9 rows per page and the 10th row ends up on the next page.  Other printers start printing over the label edges after the 1st 3 rows of labels.
    Is there a way to make the position of the output stay the same based on the design of the report for all printers?

    Post Author: quafto
    CA Forum: .NET
    This is expected behavior with Crystal Reports because the position of all objects is determined from the printer drivers. Your best bet is to go into the printer options and select the "No Printer" checkbox. This will for the print engine to use a generic print driver and it should produce consistent results.

  • Why does my iMac with Mountain Lion fail to print.

    My iMac with Mountain Lion fails to find my 2 networked printers on 50% of the occasions I try to print.  Even though I have earlier switched the iMac on, the only way I can get the iMac to see the printers is to restart the iMac?  After that I have no more probs.  Leaving the iMac on standby overnight doesn't seem to help as the problem frequently re-occurs the next day
    The Brother Laserjet printer and iMac are cabled to my router, while the HP Photoprint uses wi-fi connection. There is a PC/Windows 7 also on the network which shares the printers.
    I seem to get no help from the Printer utilities in system preferences.
    Any suggestions what I need to do to eliminate this apparent breakdown in communication between the printers and my iMac.

  • Report Generation Toolkit V9.0.0 : Print Report.vi doesnt print

    Hi,
    i have migrated my Labview 8.5 Project with Report Generation Toolkit V1.1.2 to a Labview 2009 System with Report Generation Toolkit V9.0.0.
    In this Project I use the Report Generation Toolkit for printing out a Standard Report with e few Tables and Graphs.
    Now the VI Print Report.vi delivers the Error -41002 with the Text "Invalide Printer Name". I have, of course installed the propper Printer on the machine.
    I don´t connect a string to the "Printer name" input of the VI, because i want to use the default printer.
    In my oppinion, there´s  a bug in the Print Report.vi: if you don´t wire the "Printer name" input, the vi should use the default printer, but in this case the vi connects the empty input string to the input of the method node it calls.
    I fixed this bug, but the method node still returns the same error.
    any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for the link!
    For some reasons i can´t find this specific article in the knowledge base (my browser is always rerouted to the german version of ni.com, because i am in Austria). I tried to search with the exact title of this article, and the error message string, but no results...
    I have also installed Labview 8.5 and the "old" Toolkits on my new computer in addition to Labview 2009 and the "new" Toolkits and tested my program in 8.5. Here i got an error mentioning the margins and i had to change the margin settings for printing out, then in worked.
    After reading the article, i have applied the same changes for the margins in the 2009-version of my program and it works too!
    Problem solved!
    Thank you very much!
    PS:
    I first wrote, that there´s maybe a bug in the new version of the Print Report.vi, but i´ve compared it with the old version and it seems to be no bug, sorry!
    After all I decided to stay with Labview 8.5 for now, because of another problem:
    it´s not possible to "save for previous version" from LV2009 to LV8.5 directly.
    Laview crashes, when a VI contains an event structure as i found out by searching through the "known issues", and i have a lot of VIs with event structures!
    I have to have the possibility to save my Labview projects for 8.0 and 8.5. The only way is to save for 8.6 and then save from 8.6 to 8.5.
    That´s nasty and time-consuming!
    Maybe a future update will solve this problem (without producing new ones)

  • Printing report that has a parameter with multiple values crashes jvm

    I am using BOE XI 4.0 as an unmanaged RAS.
    I am able to preview a report that has a string discrete parameter that can have multiple values.  If I give it a single value.  It previews fine.  If I give it an empty string it prints all values which is fine.  If I give it two discrete values, it displays just those two.
    However, if I try printing the report to a printer:
    1 parameter value - prints fine.
    2 parameter values - crashes jvm
    empty string parameter value - crashes jvm
    I would appreciate some direction on how to do this.  It works in crystal reports for eclipse.

  • EPrint Print Report Not Printing

    I've set up my HP Photosmart 7510 e All-In-One printer wirelessly and it works fine, but I just got an iPhone and now I'm attempting to set up ePrint. When I go on my printer and click "Print Report," I get a message that the report will take a few moments to print, and then nothing ever prints.
    I'm just trying to get the printer code to add my printer so I can can get the printers email address and use it for ePrint.

    Hi djneetz, to obtain the printer code do the following:
    Press the wrench icon on the printer front panel display
    Press "Web Services"
    Press "Enable Web Services"
    This should result in the printers unique code being printed out, which is the email address when you add the suffix @hpeprint.com. You can customise this address once you create an ePrintCenter account.
    Let me know if you're having problems getting this to work for you.

  • Po Printing Report

    Hi I am working on PO Printing Report.There are mainly three section .1 is Header part which contains informaition like Bill to Address Ship to address,vendor address payment terms etc,middle part contais lots of information like header notes,supplier header note,note to vendor ,ship instruction,line notes ,if po cancelled then its informaition,if any line gets cancelled than the same information , all lines for this PO and many more.After this section we have footer like part which have total column and signature.The total and signature are dynamic.i.e should appean in last page only.The last page of report for a PO conatains a image Terms And Condtion.
    Now problem is as there are lots of data in middle part ,It pushes the footer part to the next page.I need to break the page after certain height of table or certain no of records in table so as to have footer remain in each page.
    Is there any way to fix no of records in middle part or calculate heigth of table at run time ...when it reaches to its max height ,I break the page.
    Or I include the footer section in page footer but as its dynamic How can I get total column value and signature url dynamically.
    Please suggest me how to achieve this.....

    Srini,
    Thanks so much for your reply!!!
    1. Ok, but how do I hide a whole page? I noticed the conditional formatting, but I want to "not print" a whole page when this page is a "Purchase Agreement".
    2. I've checked the source - it's coming from POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT - POL is a view that is unpopulated. I assume it's populated at run-time. So now I am trying to track down where it's populated, but can't find that in report builder. The quantity is being taken into account, because I put a total at the bottom of the page, and that number matches price * pol.quantity_to_print. Very strange...
    Finally, here's another question, if you don't mind:
    3. When I print a purchase order that is set up as a blanket, as I mentioned before, I get my "Purchase Agreement" first, and then one (or more) pages per release. But the "Page Number" on each is "1" because each is a one-page PO. But my "total pages" is "3", so each page reads "Page 1 of 3". Any idea if there's a way around that?
    Thanks again! Hoping you have some more insight! :)
    Cheers!
    Steve
