Hangs while printing in OS X

Everything is running up-to-date. Yep, i restarted the computer, and the printer, and deleted and reinstalled reader (although some settings appeared unchanged).
When i try to print from reader or the safari plug-in, the application hangs for a minute or two, then the job shows up in the printer dialogue box (the one that appears in the dock) and says it is 'printing' although nothing happens. Other applications can still print normally, so it's not the printer. This worked fine just the other day (in reader) and I can't think of any reason why it would be working differently since then.
Thoughts?

Yeah specifically when I went to print with the reinstalled version of Reader, the print settings were the same as I had been using before, which were definitely not the default ones. The process seems to stall out at the "connecting to printer" stage in the (separate) printer dialogue that appears in dock.
Any ideas? I can print from other applications obviously, but I'm trying to print a pdf as a booklet, which I don't have anything else that can do that.

Firefox crashes (hangs) while printing pdf (or xps)

Firefox crashes/hangs whenever I try to print pdf using Adobe Acrobat V9.5. I updated Acrobat to XI but the problem didn't go away. It crashes the same way when I try to print to xps as well.
I have to force close the browser and I see Acrobat (or XPS) conversion dialog stuck somewhere at middle afterwards.
I don't have problem printing to pdf from other applications including other browsers (Chrome and IE9). Uninstall/reinstall (complete removal including profile), reset, disabling all addons and extensions, none of these worked. Although the problem goes away when I use Firefox in safe mode. What could be the problem here? I tried disabling all addons and extensions without luck.
I saw similar problem in another thread (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/994052?esab=a&as=aaq) which says it got solved after updating to V29. But I have this problem at office where I use ESR release channel currently at V24.6.
Can anyone confirm that this is a Firefox bug and has been fixed in V29? If so I can wait until next month when ESR channel jumps to V31.
PS: I use Windows 7.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion or help.
Peace

Try toggling the status of hardware acceleration under Options → Advanced → General, then restart Firefox.
* [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption|Advanced settings for… hardware acceleration]]
If there's no problem in Safe Mode, that suggests an issue with an add-on, a preference or a file in the profile, or hardware acceleration. Since you've already ruled out the other two, hardware acceleration is all that's left to try.

For me, Firefox will simply not print to XPS, though Internet Explorer doesn't have any trouble. Others have reported hanging when text is pasted into the "Save As" dialog. I haven't seen any reports of crashes, though that may be specific to the older version of Firefox you're using.

Reports Builder 10g hanging while printing

Hi all,
We have a printing issue with our Reports Builder 10g. When I run a report, select FILE and PRINT and click o.k, Reports Builder hangs where it trys to format page one. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Strange, my ReportBuilder works with File/Print but hangs when printing from the print icon.
ReportBuilder is not a robust product. It hangs and crashes frequently. Little has been done to correct. Except for the auto-save/crash-recovery feature - that is a job saving addition to the product.
That said, lots-o-features get added from one release to the next, but precious little attention seems to be given to improving stability.

Printing Problem Pages- When printing, once I have confirmed the printing settings, the Proccessing Page Hangs, and then Pages begins to freeze, and then says Error While Printing.

Hi there, I wonder if you can help me,
When printing, on Pages 09, once I have confirmed the printing settings, the Proccessing Page Hangs, and then Pages begins to freeze, and then says Error While Printing. ScreenShots are below.
Thanks for your help, in advance.
Then......(after it has frozen, for about 2mins).....
Cheers!

Do you have the same problem with printing from other apps, such as TextEdit? Have you looked at your printer's control panel to see if an error condition is displayed there, and if so, what is it?

System crash while printing to Acrobat printer

This is something that has annoyed me for a long time, sometimes while printing to Acrobat (making a PDF), the computer hangs and I have to turn the power off on the computer to shut down. I had this issue with version 7 and when I updated to version 9 the problem seem to go away. Now the PDFs that version 7 crashed on, version 9 wasn't. Tonight that all changed version 7 and 9 are hanging on certain web pages.
The question, is this a problem that's a setting issue or an Acrobat bug or a Windows issue or an explorer issue?
BTW this is a recently installed XP SP3 machine with only Adobe CS4 and Office 2007 on it, nothing else.
Joe

Well apparently it has something to do with the Internet Explorer, sort of. If I use Apple Safari it doesn't crash/lock up. But then again Safari is sending page images to the Acrobat printer, while the IE is sending the text as fonts. I also got stuck using winnovative free HTML to PDF Converter as another work around the #$%^ I paid for. Maybe it's not #$%^, but it's still annoying that I've had this problem since version 7 and I'm using version 9 now.

(java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)This is the problem....the way it looks ot me, you'll have to use something like policytool to add the following target names to the RunTime Permissions:
modifyThread
modifyThreadGroup
If you don't know how to do that, check out the Tutorial on Security or type policytool in the upper right corner of this page and click search.
Good Luck!

Save to PDF in TextEdit - Error While Printing

When I try to save a text file to PDF I receive the error message - "Error while printing". This only seems to be happening to text files I open or create in TextEdit. It works fine if I log in as a different user. I've run repair permissions and also deleted a couple of com.apple.print plist files in my user library, but the error remains.
Is there anything else I should try short of reinstalling TextEdit?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Rick

On OS X 10.8.2, with TextEdit, I can open or create text documents and export to PDF without any issue.
Here are the two preference tabs and settings that work for me. You can single click on the images for a larger version.
New Document
Open and Save
PDF documents on OS X are created with binary content, which is the junk you observe.

Automatic archiving FI invoices while printing

Hi guys !
I need to build an "archiving system" for FI documents.
The overall requirement is to archive all invoices in pdf format in external system (let's call it ES), and then link those documents to SAP FI module
My initial concept was to save PDF documents on physical hard drive, new documents would be triggered by ES, processed and the link is somehow sent to SAP and then linked to particular invoice.
Another approach would be to call WS on ES side, push document and receive a link in response.
Which solution is better? Maybe there is another approach to achieve given requirements?
What is more, is there any standard procedure to archive document, on physical drive or send, while printing invoice or it just require to create some custom enhancement in printing process?
And the most mysterious subject to me, how to link SAP invoice with external source and let SAP to display external document? Hope it is achievable with Archivelink, do you have some good source of tutorials on ArchiveLink ?
Unfortunately I have never occupied with Archiving module and I really need your piece of advice.
Greets,
Adam

Your answer did help but still expriencing challanges with the following:
Output Types
-Print Parameters options are as follows
    >Plant/Storage location
    >Plant/Storage location/User group
    >User exit
   >User parameters
   >User
Please advice which of the above is appropriate?
-Should there be a program reflected on change output field for General data screen?
Please advice since I'm currently experiencing shotdumps(runtime errors) when processing the GR.

Web Analysis report is not coming with the border/logo/heading while print

Hi All,
I am using 9.3.1 version of hyperion planning were Web Analysis report is not coming with the border/logo/heading while printing with the option "print all object", Only the data grid is coming in the print. If I use "print screen" it is coming with border/logo/heading but it gives a screenshot of the report, that won't cater out need.
So please suggest us with a resolution to have border, logo and heading, while using Print all object.
Thanks with regards....

Hi Sagar,
In scripts when you will see print preview the logo will be not shown up with clarity.Take the print out of the document and check whether logo is printing up with clarity.
Thanks

Error While Printing the Report

Post Author: saqib
CA Forum: .NET
HI All,I have joined this forum recently. I found this forum so helpful. I have one query which is: I am using crystal report 10 with Dot Net 1.1, I have created one web report which consists of 19 pages. Once i press the print button on the report after previewing it shows me the error reporting screen of windows. I have checked in event viewer it gives me the following error detail:The description for Event ID ( 1000 ) in Source ( Microsoft Internet Explorer ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: iexplore.exe, 6.0.2800.1106, printcontrol.dll, 10.0.0.533, 0003bb45. Can any one helps me as i am totally stuck in that. 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..

Application hangs while trying to create a socket

Hello,
We have a third party application that makes HTTP connections using a old version of HTTPClient. Recently we have run into problems where the application hangs as one thread seems to hang while trying to create a socket (thread dumps show the hang occurs in native code) and other threads end up waiting for this thread as they need to obtain a lock on HTTPClient.HTTPConnection. We found out that HTTPClient was not setting a timeout on the underlying socket (SO_TIMEOUT) and the relevant patch has been implemented in the hope that if the condition arises again the offending thread will be timed out and allow other threads to try and continue.
We will not be able to see if the patch works until Monday and I would like to understand the problem a little better if it fails. My question at what point will the socket timeout starting ticking? As our offending thread is waiting in native code is there a chance that the timeout will not be "active".
Also can anyone provide reasons for an application hanging while trying to create a socket and any suggestions for monitoring or mitigating this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Sun Solaris 5.8
JDK 1.4.1 b02

It looks like our version of the JDK offer a connect method with a timeout value, I think this will do the trick.
