Format lost when printing to Generic Text Printer after recent upgrade

We recently upgraded Crystal and now the texty file output from a generic text printer has losst its formatting.
The text appears like this:
S
u
m
m
a
r
y
There si an OD character after each letter.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Hi Mike,
That is odd.... What happens if you check on the No Default Printer, save the report and then check it off, or the other way depending on what your original setting is?
If you create a new report do you see the same results?
Also, XI is no longer patchable but you can upgrade to XI R2 for free. Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
To enable the full XI R2 features locate the Keycode link and get a new one for XI R2.
Thank you
Don

Is printing to generic text printer and hand-coding the report possible?

We have created Oracle Reports that are formatted to print to Zebra printers. We code the report in Report Layout and the text printed is for generic text printers, what our Zebra printers requires. Can this be done with APEX reports?
Example:
^xa
^ilr:val_set.grf2^fs
^fo88,132^a0,90,80^fb464,1,0,C,0^fd&<ACCESSION>^fs
^by2,3.0,32^fs
^ft64,402^BCb,32,n,n^fd&<FARMFIELD>^fs
^ft600,402^BCb,32,n,n^sn&<LOCLOW>,1,y^fs
^fo304,232^a0r,20,20^fd&<LOCTYPE>^fs
^fo334,232^a0,50,45^sn&<LOCLOW>,1,y^fs
(skipping some code here for brevity)
^pq&<LOC_ROWS>^fs
^xz
Asking whether APEX can print to generic text printers and can we code the report output
ourselves.
Thanks for any help.

Here is a simple example of printing via pl/sql to a text file...
create or replace procedure utl_file_io is
l_fil utl_file.file_type;
l_buf varchar2(200);
begin
l_fil := utl_file.fopen('TMP', 'amar_test.t', 'W');
utl_file.put_line(l_fil, 'This is a sample text file.');
utl_file.put_line(l_fil, 'Generated from Oracle utl_file package.');
utl_file.put_line(l_fil, 'Below is the content of am1010 table.');
for rec in (select col1, col2 from am1000) loop
utl_file.put_line(l_fil, rpad(rec.col1, 15, ' ') || rec.col2);
end loop;
utl_file.put_line(l_fil, 'End of File');
utl_file.fclose(l_fil);
exception
when no_data_found then
utl_file.fclose(l_fil);
end;
This routine will generate a text file to the default directory on your server, you would need to build an Oracle directory and change the code to include the path to your file there. Getting it to the printer could be a simple shell script that copies the file out your your printer if it is on the network and can be seen..

Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

ITunes does not start when I plug in my iphone after I upgraded to Lion?

After recent upgrade i lost the contacts icon on the screen

after recent upgrade i lost the contacts icon on the screen

Before doing a Reset (which will wipe out a whole lot of things that you have to reenter) check to make sure the Contacts app didn't simply get pushed to another page by the addition of the Newstand app to the first homescreen.

Lost all sounds except ringtone after recent upgrade

No sound except ringtone after recent upgrade followed by the upgrade fix. Since the ringtone was only affected I didn't notice immediately! If I plug in my headphones everything works. Unable to use volume buttons on side unless headphones are plugged in, the volume symbol with white dots doesn't even appear anymore. The volume control in itunes music only works when plugged into headphones otherwise it can't be adjusted. Worked with apple support tried everything include a restore to new still no go! It appears that a few people are having the same problem and seems weird that it happened after last upgrade!

If you are unable to adjust the volume without headphones even after restoring, then the iPhone thinks it's plugged into a dock or cable. This is the behavor that will happen if you plug your iPhone in to the car or iHome dock to play you music and sounds, but a docked connection will never play ringtones through the dock connection and headphones override that dock connection which is why your headphones work.
How does the phone think its connected to a dock? Well, this can happen if the charging port gets wet at some point or if some trauma happens in there like pushing the cable in when it doesnt fit, etc.
So it happens even after restoring what do I do? Service your iPhone. https://selfsolve.apple.com

Top margin when printing with Generic text driver

I created a report in Character Mode and tryed to print it using the Generic Text windows printer driver, but the Reports is adding a non-specified top margin. I already removed all the margins of this report in the Layout Editor but the problem continues. What can I do to solve this problem ?

Is it shifting only down, or to the right as well?
What are the bleed an slug settings, and are you including slug and bleed in the print?
Is the dialog set to print in upper left corner, and if so does it change when you print centered?

Firefox printing incorrectly to printer with Generic /Text Only driver

I have a printer that uses the Generic / Text Only driver, and everytime I try and print to it with Firefox, a carrage return is added after every space. For example this text:
<pre><nowiki><
875 000 096 099
>
</nowiki></pre>
Gets printed like this:
<pre><nowiki><
875
000
096
099
></nowiki></pre>
The text gets printed correctly if I use IE9 or notepad. Any suggestions?

Please refer to this article for help. [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

Crystal 2011 - Formats lost when published to CMC

Hi team,
Here's my issue...
Have exported a Crystal 2009 report and saved it into 2011.
I noted that some of the formats had changed slightly. i.e. font size, paragraph line spacing
Fixed these, ran the report from crystal 2011 and exported the report to PDF, looks great!
Published the report to CMC and ran a test hoping to get the same results, however this time the formats are gone?
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong, please.
Thanks,
Simon

Thanks for your reply, the formats are being lost when I export to PDF.
We wonder if the problem is something to do with the way the text was formatted in the older version of crystal and that exporting and importing into Crystal 2011 has lost some of this.

What styles are lost when importing/converting PS text to editable text?

In CS5.5, when I import a PSD file with one or more text layers (retaining layer styles and editable layer styles) some of the layer styles change upon import.
In addition, after import, in the Comp panel, sometimes there are no visual differences between that display and the display in PS. But in individual style layers in the Timeline panel, things have changed. Most typically, strokes with gradients are changed either to a solid color (gray or red) or to a simple white-to-black gradient. How is it the display can show a gradient when the stroke layer shows a solid color?
When the text layers are converted to editable text, those changed style properties kick in.
I'm guessing some or all of this has to do with AE text not being able to have a gradient for the fill or stroke? That being the case, is there a work-around?
If this goes beyond not being able to use a gradient for fill or stroke, what are the "rules"? What styles are lost/changed upon import and when converting to editable text?

After Effects includes the entire Photoshop rendering engine, so any PSD and its layer styles should render fine (i.e., just like in Photoshop). If it doesn't, please submit a bug report.
But After Effects does not include the entire UI from Photoshop for creating and modifying layer styles.
The layer styles feature in After Effects exists primarily to provide fidelity between what you see in Photoshop and what you see in After Effects---not so that you can add and modify layer styles in After Effects. The UI in the Timeline panel is therefore a barebones implementation that doesn't include many of the features of layer styles in Photoshop. As you observe, there are many cases in which the representation in the Timeline panel is much more simplistic than what is in the Composition panel.
This separation between the UI and the ability to render with good fidelity is most apparent with pattern overlays. See this video for a good demonstration of how to use layer styles in After Effects by tapping into these features in Photoshop:

> In CS5.5, when I import a PSD file with one or more text layers (retaining layer styles and editable layer styles) some of the layer styles change upon import.
How, exactly, do they change? A screenshot would be useful.
If it's what I'm suspecting, then the page that Mylenium points you to has the clue:
"When a layer style is applied to a vector layer—such as a text layer, a shape layer, or a layer based on an Illustrator footage item—visual elements that apply to the edges of the contents of the layer apply to the outlines of the vector objects, such as text characters or shapes. When a layer style is applied to a layer based on a non-vector footage item, the layer style applies to the edges of the layer’s bounds or masks."
When you convert between Photoshop text and editable text, you're changing the render order and also switching between raster images and vectors. This can affect appearance in many ways.

My Epson Stylus SX535WD printer is not installing properly after Mavericks upgrade

Hi,
This morning - to my deep, deep regret - I uninstalled my Epson driver and associated software. I forget why I even did it now; I think it wasn't working very smoothly and I read on a forum it was wise to uninstall and reinstall if I have recently upgraded my operating software. I put Mavericks on back in February - and the printer/scanner has worked since then.
Anyway - I have spent the best part of the last 4 hours trying to reinstally the software - but now have no printers availabe as my constant error message. Epson advised me to install a 1.9Gb fix - which I have - and the latest epson software. But I can't find them on my laptop now. It is only when I click on Epson uninstall that I can see them sitting there - but with no indication of where they are on the computer. They aren't in downloads or applications... where else can i look? How else can I get this printer/scanner up and running again?
All tips VERY VERY VERY welcome. Thanks

Have you installed Apple's latest Epson drivers?

Canon Wi-Fi Printer Unable to find SSID after OS upgraded

I am using Canon MG4100 series printer. After I upgraded my iMac OS X 10.9 and also upgraded the firmware of my Time Capsule, my printer is no longer able to find the SSID. While all other devices have no issue except the Canon printer. Anyone can help?

Make sure the wireless names.. and TC name is smb compatible.
Short.. 2-20 characters
No spaces
Pure alphanumeric.
The standard apple names are invalid in most OS.
Even apple manipulate the network names..
Turn off security and fix the wireless to 11, 6, 1 in that order.. just as a test. If all of them fail,
Then I recommend you buy a cheap TP-Link, edimax etc wireless router and use it as a WAP.. plugged into the TC.

Z10 will no longer read or send text messages after software upgrade

Hello,
New to the board and looking for a little bit of help.
I have an AT&T Z10 and recently upgraded my software after using a non-BB phone for a little while.
I'm now no longer able to open, compose or send a text message with my device.
I tried both taking the battery out and doing a complete wipe of the device. Neither has helped solve the problem.
Any help/fixes would be greatly appreciated. I certainly don't want to have to go back to iPhone or an Android device as I like the Hub and the virtual keyboard much more.
Thanks,
Jeff

When I try to text, it does nothing. The screen simply doesn't respond. Same thing happens if I try to open a text. I touch the message, but it won't open or do anything.
Software version is: 10.1.0.2019
Device says I have the latest software.
