Help on printing through Output Server

It seems that when I print from test presentment to PDF or to the local printer through my Output Designer, I get two pages printing out which is correct. When I compile and run the .dat file through Adobe Central server, I am having the same .dat file print out 5 pages with blanks on the second and 4rth page. I have the job setup with two tasks called PGCNTGET and PGCNTSET. I would assume if my test presentment to PDF and local printer are printing correctly, it should print correctly through the server. I did remove the PGCNTGET and PGCNTSET tasks from the job and only used JFMERGe and in that scenario it does print correctly but of course without page numbering. Can you please suggest on how to debug this in Central since I am not as familiar with Central Server.

I've never used the PGCNT agents but debugging with Central requires that you set the "verbosity" for the agent(s) to
i trace
mode. This can be done using
b Central Control
on the server - which you may not have access to,
b or
it can be specified as an option for the task. If the task is defined in the job management database to include the
b @OtherJobTokens
parameter then it can be done using the
b ^job
line in the .dat file. For the print agent (JFMERGE) it is done with the
b -v
option (-v0 sets trace mode). If it is done using Central Control, then verbosity for the Print Agent would be set to
b -10
(don't forget to set it back to the current setting). The agent will then put all of its trace messages in the log file (usually jfserver.log) and you will need to get that file from the server (it is plain text). Note that there are some bogus messages and others are difficult to understand but it might point you in the right direction.

Always duplex printing when printing through cups server

I have about 6 printers which people normally accesses through a cups server running on a Linux box.
We have always printed through the cups server from the Macs we have - and this has always worked great (they get auto-detected as shared printers and so on).
But a few months ago something changed on the Macs - they can now ONLY print duplex - nomatter what i tell them to do in the print dialog. When printing first to a postscript file and then sending the postscript file to the printer (via terminal/lpr) everything gets printing correctly - but when using the printing dialog it always prints duplex.
When printing to the printers directly (many different models) everything works - but going through the cups server - only duplex.
All our Linux machines prints both duplex and simplex as they should, so the cups server isn't the problem.
Has anybody else had this problem?
Other OS

Armin,
You need to do the following to make the duplex printing work for postscript in Oracle Reports.
You need a printer with duplex option and an appropriate PPD file.
You also need the Unix tool sed to filter the output file.
The problem is that duplexing is enabled in the job level set up of the PostScript document but gets reset in the page set up because paper size and printer tray information is generated for every page. The workaround would be to write a script, which removes page level set-up information for the paper size and printer tray set up commands. As a side effect of this - it is no longer possible to switch the printer tray between pages.
Write a sed script file called 'duplexsed' with the following three lines. This
/^%%BeginPageSetup/,$ {
/^%%BeginFeature/,/^%%EndFeature/d
Copy the file to an appropriate directory, for example $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
Set the environment variable TK_PRINT:
TK_PRINT="sed -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/duplexsed | lpr -l -s -P'%n' -#'%c'"
export TK_PRINT
Note that the print command is different for the various kinds of Unix.
You may need to refer your installation guide and make changes to the lpr command

Optimizing images for Help and Print/PDF

i'm struggling with how to optimize graphics so they look good in both Help and print/pdf output.
I use Snag-it to Capture and save as PNG 300 dpi.
I often put the images in Vision and add callouts and save as PNG.
From RH I generate a printed output (Word) which I convert to PDF.
So with all the programs an image goes through (snag-it > visio > RH > Word > PDF) i'm not always sure what the best settings are.
Does anyone have guidelines/suggestions ?
Thanks

I've had very good luck going from a SnagIt capture to Robohelp to Word to PDF. I add callouts directly in SnagIt to save myself a step and save the files as a 24-bit (True Color) PNG. The graphics are very legible in the WebHelp output, in the Word document, and in the printed PDF.
The only thing that doesn't work well, I've found, is when I reduce the size of a graphic in either SnagIt or Robohelp. Instead, to keep a graphic's dimensions manageable, I either shrink the s/w application window before I grab the screen, capture just a portion of the screen, or crop the screen shot in SnagIt.
What problems have you been encountering?

Need help on resolving the issue with adobe output server - error MSG256 & MSG 210 not in .ini file

Hi,
I am using adobe output designer 5.5 for designing the label template and using the Adobe output server for printing process.
In the Jfmerge.ini we given the condition "DiscardUnknownFields=Yes" for ignoring the unwanted fields in the .dat file.
During the process, I faced some issue with the output server in printing the labels.
When the .dat file is placed in the Data folder of adobe, the label is not getting printed in the printer.
The file is move to the error folder and an error file is getting generated which contains the error message as given below:
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [256]** Message Msg256 not in .ini file **
090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
2009/08/26 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfserver.exe: [314]Agent exit message: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
The output server is a new installtion and I verified the Jfmerge.ini file. It contains the message details of Msg256 and Msg210.
I also verified the license and it is a valid licence.
Kindly help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks
Senthil

I assume this is too late to help you, but other might need a hint. I had the same problem, and found some possible causes that I posted on http://codeznips.blogspot.com/2010/02/adobe-output-server-message-msg210-not.html.
It is quite likely that you are missing some double quotes around the path specifying the ini file (-aii), if its installed under "Program Files".
Hope this helps anyone....

Connecting printer through wireless Print Server

Wireless Dlink DPR-1260, hooked up to network. ( using Linksys wireless router and Windows XP Home)
Two usb printer ports. Loaded HP laserjet 2300 series using the print server software wizard.. works fine...prints remotely.
The P.S. created the tcp/ip ports and loaded the drivers after requesting the HP driver disk.
But, when loading the HP color laserJet 2550 series, it asks for the disk, but says the driver inf files not available. I downloaded from the HP web site the XP drivers, and when I pointed to the unzipped files, said the same thing.
I used the XP driver... should I have used the Universal Print Driver?
On the P.S. screen the HP 2300 shows up as HP LaserJet 2300 series, and the LPR Queque name is : LaserJet 2300
But when I manually loaded the 2550, The name shows up as HP color LaserJet 2550 ser and the Queque name is color LaserJet 25.
Both printers work fine connected directly to the printer, but the 2550 will not print through the P.S.
Since the drivers for the 2550 are loaded and it prints when hard wired, tell me how to find the drivers installed on the computer, so I can point to them there.
Thanks

Printing with the built-in network protocols (Windows Printing, IP printing) requires a CUPS print driver. HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers (yet) - their drivers are written to only use USB. You can try the HP Photosmart P1100 Gimp-Print driver included in OS X.
There is no CUPS driver for your specific model, that I can find.

In MAC, I want to change document size from 8.5X11 to 18X24 to create a poster to print through Staples. I created the doc originally in WORD, changed the size in WORD, converted to PDF doc. But PDF doc is still in 8.5X11. Read ADOBE support help info. Terls me to change size in application rather than printer. BUT ACROBAT Pro does not give me a page set up option in FILE. I can only find one in the printer dialog box. Help!

from the FAQs on Staples website:
I have a file that I know is a PDF, but the website claims it is not in a PDF format. What should I do?
Check to see that the file has the .PDF extension. Also, check that the filename does not have any special characters such as an ampersand (“&”).
Regarding your measurements set to centimeters rather than inches; is it just in MS Word?
Or does it occur in all other applications.
Check your Work preferences first:
If it is happening in all your applications, check your Mac OS System Preferences.

Laserjet m1217 will not print through easyprint on windows 2008 server 64Bit

We have a client that has the LaserJet M1217 that is connecting to our Window 2008 Server SP2 64Bit via Remote Desktop. Easyprint recognizes the printer, but will not even print a test page. We get a FAIL message. We either need to know how to print through easyprint, or if there is a driver that can be installed remotely.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would contact Microsoft about this. Since Easy Print is one of their features, they should know what is causing the error in the first place. Let me know what they say.

Acrobat CS3 won't print through XServe print server

Acrobat CS3 won't print through our XServe print server when connected by AppleTalk. Everything else prints fine. You can print the same .pdf with AppleTalk through Preview. And you can print with Acrobat through any other protocol but AppleTalk. The job spools, looks like it's going through but never reaches it's destination. We have 19 printers so it's not a single printer being cranky, and 35 Macs so it's not just a single Mac. All our users are on Active Directory and all are on the same subnet and VLAN.

Hello Scott,
If you look at the cups error log on the Xserve, does it give any clues as to why the Acrobat spool file is failing? Hopefully there is some indication as to which process is failing and why.
We're not using AppleTalk on our Xserve. All printer connections are set via LPR so I cannot offer any advice based on experience.

Printing through Windows 2003 server

I'm the only Mac in the house and have been printing through our Windows 2003 server just fine until this week after my last Apple Update. When printing to any printer on our system, (I have reset printers with no change to results), I get a heading with my name, plus (RE: my job), and a bold underscore with the following message below the line:
%%[Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: languagelevel]%%
%%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ingnored]%%
This has only become a problem in the last week. I first noticed the problem on my G5, but I just plugged my Powerbook G4 into our Ethernet system with the same results.
Power Mac7,3 (G5) Mac OS X (10.4.7) Windows Server 2003

I am not aware of what drivers were used before or if there has been a change. I used the standard print utility and it identified all printers on the system and I just added them. Printing was no problem until this last week.

Print via Output Control(XNAPR) field in MIGO to be checked through BAPI

Hi Sir,
I am creating goods movement using BAPI 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'. I am able to fill all field exect the check bos for Print via Output Control(XNAPR) field in MIGO Header screen. I am unable to find out any field corresponding to this in the BAPI structure so that I can put 'X' in that.
Please help me and I have to do this only using this BAPI.
Regards
Krishan

Hi,
I figured this one out, it's faily simple.
Within the BAPI the table USR05 is checked for Parameter ID NDR(Print via output control in MM - Inventory management) it's the parameter ID linked to the field XNAPR.
To make it work just update the table USR05 with the required setting and then execute the BAPI.
Once the procecssing is done reset the value in the table to the default.
Geting and setting the parameter ID doesn't work.
This the code I have:
Store current value in temp variable
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM usr05 WHERE bname = sy-uname
                                 AND   parid = 'NDR'.
      old_prflag = usr05-parva.
Set the new value
      usr05-parva = rm07m-xnapr.
      UPDATE usr05 SET parva = usr05-parva
                WHERE bname = sy-uname
                  AND parid = 'NDR'.
Execute the BAPI
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'
        EXPORTING
          goodsmvt_header = gm_head
          goodsmvt_code    = gm_code
          testrun          = ' '
        IMPORTING
          materialdocument = g_mblnr
          matdocumentyear = g_year
        TABLES
          goodsmvt_item    = gt_item
          return           = gt_return
          extensionin      = gt_ext.
Set the print Parameter back
      usr05-parva = old_prflag.
      UPDATE usr05 SET parva = usr05-parva
                WHERE bname = sy-uname
                  AND parid = 'NDR'.

AR Invoice Printing Blank page when printed through printer

Hi,
I customized AR invoice to give PDF output through BI Publisher.There is no issue when tried to view the output.
When tried to print the output through printer, It's given blank page.
All other BI publisher reports which will give PDF output in Straight single request are printing through printer correctly.
But AR invoice By standard program itself when fired, First a Multi Language Function will fire which will have output of 0 bytes and after that as a child request Original program with Required output will fire.
It seems that printer is printing Parent request output.
Can anyone please help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
I'm guessing the concurrent program is outputting text (character mode) as opposed to PDF?
This could be a number of reasons:
1. Printer driver issue, e.g. the number of lines printed on the page is more than is defined for the printer driver: Try reducing the "Rows" on the current program definition
2. Printer PRT issue, extra page break could be being inserted.
3. The "box" in the report definition containing the address could be being expanding due to the extra address line, but not enough space so it forces a new page to be printed.
