Front end printing with control technology problem with Mac platforms

Hello,
We are looking into replacing Host Spool Access method "F: Printing on front end computer" with the newer "front end printing with control technology" but are running into an issue. Our Mac platforms cannot print duplex nor print multiple pages per side using the new technology. We have followed SAP's recommendation to use the POST2 device type but it still won't allow full printing functionality. Has anyone run into this and if so how did you overcome it?
Thanks and Regards,
Rich

Hi Rich,
I've had success getting duplex printing through "front end printing with control technology" with the Mac SAPgui as follows:
In the Mac SAPgui, go to the Preferences window and select Printing (i.e. Preferences -> Desktop -> Printing).
In the "Media sides" pull-down menu, select one of the "two-sided" choices (such as "two-sided-long-edge").
Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the window (near the right hand side.
Print to a Front end printer.
I haven't figured out how to get n-up printing.

Front-end printing with control technology

Can anyone elaborate on the new "Front-end printing with control technology" that was released with FEP 15, OSS Note # 821519? Is this something I should be pushing Basis to implement?

Front - end print with new access method G - having issues for some users

Hi Gurus,
Recently we have implemented the new access method G for front-end printing. it is working fine for 90% users in our company. but some users having problems in printing to WINDEFAULT using this new method.
Here is the SAP GUI trace file for the error that they are getting.

Appreciate your answers

Usually this means, that some necessary controls are not properly registered in the registry and hence can't be found. You may solve that by removing the SAPGUI from the PC completely, booting the machine and reinstall the GUI.

Front end printing.

Hi All,
In frontend printing in windows environment. Can we use exact device type(for EX:HP LaserJet 4300 dtns) instead of swin device type. The reason being we are not able to correctly print a invoice(logo not getting printed properly)
Thanks
Vijay

> In frontend printing in windows environment. Can we use exact device type(for EX:HP LaserJet 4300 dtns) instead of swin device type.
Use the device type Swin itself. Its because the driver is actually picked up from your local machine while printing.
> The reason being we are not able to correctly print a invoice(logo not getting printed properly)
Please check if the correct driver for the printer is used on your local machine. This issue with logo is common with front end printing when you do not use the exact driver for the printer model on local machine.

Select front end printed

Hi experts
i wolud execute without dialog a sapscript.
So when i call the FM 'OPEN_FORM', with parameter i pass:
itcpo-tddest = 'LOC4'.
itcpo-tdimmed = 'X'.
itcpo-rqposname = name of front-end printer.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      device   = 'PRINTER'
      dialog   = 'X'
      form     = 'ZBOX_LABEL'
      language = 'I'
      OPTIONS = itcpo
    IMPORTING
      RESULT   = itcpp
    EXCEPTIONS
      canceled = 1.
Also with the name of front end printer, the sistem in dialog box, set the default windows printer.
Anybody can tell me how i can set the value rqposname?
Thanks in advance
Marco

Hi,
If you want a particular windows printter, you need to define it in the definition of the output device via transaction SPAD in the field Host Printer. So in output device LOC4, set name of front-end printer in field 'Host Printer'.

Aidan

Front end options with Oracle DB

I have a customer who needs a highly reliable, highly available oracle database. From the DB point of view this is easy, but in the past we've used oracle Forms to give access to the DB to the users. Unfortunately, due to its web-deployed nature, 9iAS via Oracle Forms is nether reliable nor available, not all of that has to do with forms for example:
Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
Too many dependencies on technologies that require frequent re-boots. So I'm looking for suggestions on what I should use for a front end... Should I write the front end in JAVA, or use htmldb, or some other technology? Any suggestions?

Are you opposed to three-tier deployment altogether? There is always going to be the possibility that IE crashes, particularly as you add functionality on top of straight HTML forms. Are IE crashes really frequent enough to be a cause for concern in your environment? I'd think that having the application save periodically would be more than enough insurance to risk the occasional browser crash.
If you are entering truly critical data and cannot survive the loss of any typing, I would think that system crashes (blue screens) would also be a concern, which would tend to eliinate any application components on the client machines and dictate a client/server app deployed to a bank of Citrix servers that clients connect to from their client desktops. That seems like a lot of effort, however, when web deployment will handle 99.9% of applications out there.

OBIEE 11g Front End Calculations with Presentation Variables Error

Hi Guru's,
Long time user first time poster to the forums but hopefully you can help.
I have a requirement to perform an aggregation on certain fields with a dynamic grouping requirement (so users can select which grouping they require ie, sum profit by [outlets or companies or region]).
The approach I am using is a prompt setting a presentation variable with the possible groupings for the calculation as choices, and a column in the report with a formula to SUM("table"."column" by "@{variable}{default}") this also contains a dynamic column name containing the presentation variable too.
Where the column could be profit and the variable prompt options could be outlet, company or region (from the above example).
This is currently separate from the RPD due to the dynamic nature required with groupings changing at run time and is done in the front end.
However on selecting some columns via the prompt I receive this error:
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 22027] Union of non-compatible types. (HY000)
This only occurs on some field groupings, and is not a certain type in particular. (Including both short date, short time and varchars).
Any ideas where this problem could stem from?
Regards.

Based on given info: Try this
SUM(cast("table"."column" as int) by "@{variable}{default}")
Pls mark if helps

2 Front End Servers with reporting enabled in topology but only one server shows reports

Hi,
We have 2 Front End Standard pool servers with resiliency enabled between them. The monitoring service is configured in the topology so that both Front End Servers point to the same monitoring database. We have half our users homed on 1 Front
end and half the other users sitting on the other Front End. In the Reports we can only see information on Audio calls made from users that are sitting on our Primary Front End Pool Server however we cannot see call information from users that are sitting
on the other front end server?
Thanks, Kevin

We have applied the backend updates and verified the config by running Test-CSDatabases cmd-let . I ran enable-cstopology and ran bootstrapper.exe and rebooted both Front End Servers, however we are still unable to see monitoring data of users
homed on our second Lync Front End server.
Any other suggestions? Thanks for responses so far, appreciate the assistance!

HP 1220C PS PRINTER WITH MAC YOSEMITE 10.10

MY HP1220C PS WILL ONLY PRINT BLACK WITH MAC SYSTEM (ABOVE) -- IS THERE ANY SOFTWARE AVAILABLE
THAT I COULD USE TO MAKE IT PRINT IN COLOR ?? TKS -- WINJE

I had, and still suffer the exact same problem.
I've got a late 2009 iMac that came pre loaded with Snow Leopard. which supports the printer. The only way to ensure you get colour printing on a 1220C in Yosamite is to wipe the iMac, install Snow Leopard as the base OS, install the printer then go through the life draining steps of upgrading to Yosamite via Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks. A dogs breafast I grant you!
I've tried to locate the printer driver on my time machine, or like you a new or alternate one so I can bypass the whole gradual install process and dump the driver where it needs to live but have yet to find it.
If someone else has a better work around please let me know as I'm almost to the point of throwing out a perfectly good printer if I ever have to rebuild my iMac again.

Can't print with PC but can print with Mac!?

Please save me from going crazy!
I'm trying to turn my USB printer into wireless and have tried EVERYTHING and put in HOURS of work with all different types of print servers, devices, etc.
I bought an Airport Express and loaded Bonjour into my Windows 8 machine. It detects my printer, connects to my Express but simply doesn't print! I've tried EVERYTHING with editing my ports, changing it to LPR instead of RAW, etc. but with no sucess. When I connected my MacBook to my Express, IT PRINTS with no problems!!!
I can't for the life of me figure it out and my Windows machine needs to be able to print as I'm using it for work.
Any suggestions, tips, clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Apple Care and bringing it into a store gets me nowhere. Please help! I will pay someone $50 dollars via PayPal as your reward for helping me figure this mind boggling problem out!
Thank you!!!
Gregory

USB printers are a pain.. it might not work at all from windows.. that is just the reality.
USB printers are local printers that plug into your computer.. save your $50.. and the cost of the next couple of sets of ink cartridges or toners and go and buy a network printer. ie one that is designed to work in a network.
If you want to pursue this..
1. How did you name the Express.. and its wireless?
Names should all be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
2. What printer is it? If you plug it in via USB to the computer does it work?
3. Once you have it working plugged into the computer change it to print to IP of the airport express and see if that works.
You can do this without bonjour..
See this video for example of setting up printing to Extreme (same thing) by printing directly to the TCP/IP port.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTN1g846dRE
It is windows 7 but 8 should be much harder .. naturally MS took away the easy access to everything .. but it is still there for the most part.

Sharing Linux printer with Mac

P4 with Debian Etch (testing), kernel 2.6.12-1-686,
Gnome desktop and USB attached printer and scanner
PMac G5 running OS X Tiger (10.4.4)
I've got my AppleTalk/zeroconf LAN setup working for file sharing - with netatalk and task-howl on the Linux box.
When I had my printer connected to my Mac I could print to it from the Linux box with just CUPS whether the Mac AppleTalk connection with the Linux box was active or not. Then I decided I wanted more desk space around my Mac and moved the printer to my Linux box. Now I can print from my Linux box, but I can't seem to figure out how to print to it from my Mac :-P
For once I'm finding the printer setup on my Mac the more difficult I've tried it outside the AppleTalk connection by simply supplying an address of 192.168.2.69:631 and though the printer definition is accepted, actual printing says the printer is busy. I've also tried it with the AppleTalk connection up, again supplying the same address, with the same results. I've also tried variations of addresses without success.
I'm sure I'm tripping over the obvious but what??? Is there a way to specify the Linux printer from my Mac outside AppleTalk? Or if I need to through AppleTalk, do I need to further edit my Linux netatalk setup - maybe the papd.conf???
If I do need to (somehow) use the Linux printer with AppleTalk, there is another lesser question. How do I ensure that the howl tools (mDNSResponder for advertising) start at login like afpd and atalkd. Following is the mDNSBrowse info if it's any help.
I'm keeping notes on the detail steps in order to share the setup with anyone else they might help, so if you want to see the detail steps I've taken so far I can send along the text file or put it up on my dotMac account for download.
Thanks,
Lee C

Hi Lee,
   Of course I don't mind your sharing my instructions; the more testing we have the better. Did you not have to do any configuration of netatalk and the howl-tools? I know it's zeroconf but I've never dealt with an app that didn't require some configuration. Well, maybe the dream is true...
   In theory my instructions are symmetric. The Mac's /etc/cups/client.conf file has a ServerName line. Of course, whether or not Apple's print mechanism will honor it is another matter. I can't test it but I would think it worth a try. I would think that getting printing to work from Mac to Linux would require that the Linux server be setup to share its printer via CUPS as I described.
   Once the Linux box is sharing its printer via CUPS, here is how I would guess you should add it to the Mac via the Printer Setup Utility.
In the "Printers" menu, select "Add Printer...". The Printer Browser dialog will open. Click on the "IP Printer" button, the second button at the top left. Beside "Protocol:" select "Internet Printing Protocol - IPP". That is the protocol CUPS uses and points to port 631 which is what you want for a printer shared via CUPS. In the address line naturally you want to put the local address of Linux box. Under "Queue:" you can put the name you chose when you setup the Linux printer to work with CUPS. However, assuming that you only have one print queue, it should work to leave that blank.
Below that is another group of fields to fill in. I'm not sure how important they are. I am guessing here since I haven't tested it but I would guess that "Name:" and "Location:" are for display purposes only and that what you put there doesn't really matter. The "Print Using:" menu is another matter. I'm sure that the driver resides on the machine to which the printer is attached so specifying a driver on the client doesn't really make sense to me if you're using IPP. I know that in a purely Linux environment, all I have to specify is the ServerName so no driver should be necessary. I would think that "Auto Select" would be the best choice if you have to make one but I would try not doing anything with it if you can. If neither of those work, try selecting the actual make of the printer. Since you had it connected to the Mac once, I assume that you actually do have a driver. I just don't see why you would need it.
   Setting up the printer to work with CUPS was the only thing that I really had to research when setting up our Linux lab and server. I think the only important decision was the driver. The printer that our Linux server uses is itself a JetDirect network printer so the Device URI was actually important as well but the printer currently connected to my Mac (OS X configured CUPS automatically) has a Device URI of file:///dev/null so it can't be very important for a local printer. However, if the Linux box has a device file for the local printer, you may have to use that as the Device URI. (with file:// in front of it)
   If you've set the cups.conf file as I described in my instructions, (allow the Mac access to <Location />) you can actually configure the CUPS queue via the web from the Mac. Just aim your browser to http://<Linux_IP>:631/printers and click on the "Add Printer" link at the bottom left if it isn't already listed. If it is already listed then maybe Linux configures local printers automatically too. Otherwise you may have to click on the "Configure Printer" link.

Photoshop CS6 printing with Mac OS 10.10.2

I recently attempted to print a 13x19 photo on a Canon PIXMA 9500MarkII color printer using CS6. The printer driver continually reported an paper since error. Eventually, I gave up and tried to print the same photo with Apple's Preview application and it worked.
I contacted Canon support and they responded that the printing with Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6 x64 is not compatible with OS 10.10.2.
Does anyone have a solution or know if Adobe will be updating CS6?

No.
