How interacts the LDP service with the windows print drivers

Hi all,
We have some printing problems between unix system and our Windows print server.
I want to understand how interacts the windows print drivers with the LDP service.
As I understand, Unix format the document by his local print driver, send the document to our print server using the LPD service. But at this time, How Windows 2008R2 process the document.
The document is it reformat by the print spooler according to the print driver used before sending to the printer?
Or the Unix document is it just passed over the LPD port?
Many thanks for your response
Martin

What PDL is the Unix machine creating?  If it's anything other than TEXT format, you will need to use a switch setting in the LPR command sending the data to inform the LPD service it retain the originating format. 
Review your LPR implementation on the Unix side.  If the LPR client does not provide this support would need to modify the Windows Server registry to configure the LPD service.

    Hi
    Already i have seen this document, here they did not mention how to get the "Note TaskFlow" in resource catalog. In Resource catalog I didn't find any component named "Note TaskFlow".
    To make it visible in resource catalog. What should I do?
    To integrate Webcenter Services(link, mail, notes, etc..) with webcenter spaces, what do i need to do? Itseems all services are in the form of taskflows. How can i make it enable and to bring it in resource catelog?

    How long did you wait for the download to run?  The last time I downloaded the Windows support files for Boot Camp, it was going very slowly, so I swapped away to another task.  Several minutes later I came back and it had moved a little, but not much, so I went on with other things.  When I got back to it several hours later, the download had completed.  Perhaps you just need to let it go overnight to perform the downloads...

    You may have better luck posting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and MS Windows guru's tend to hang out.

  • How can we print using the windows printer dialog window?

    Hi,
    We recently got new printers and a printer setup on our server that are set to print in greyscale as a default. In the past the printers defaulted to printing in color. When I create VI's and reports I have used to set "Print on completion" or the print option from the Report Generation Toolkit, and I have received my prints in color. After changing the printer drivers on the server any printing method I used to do from LabVIEW will always produce greyscale prints. These prints are fine for everyday use, however we need color prints when the documents are for customers or for other official use.
    If I could only send documents/VI's to that process the user could override the "greyscale" setting and select "color" in the cases where we need a better looking print. Obviously the other option is to save the document/VI as a file and later print it from any windows software (Excel, Paint etc.).
    Do anyone have any neat tricks for printing using the windows printer dialog?

    You can change printer settings programmatically via a .NET assembly. You can also bring up the Print Dialog to change settings manually before printing.
    More info on the .NET assembly for colour settings here:

  • When I try to print using Windows 2008 print server I have to use the generic print drivers supplied. If I use the OEM driver the printer locks up. I have tried a HP 4 plus and a Canon Copier.

    A number of vendor drivers written for OS X cannot be used when connecting via SMB to a printer that is shared by Windows. This is due to limitations of the driver.
    In some cases, if you were to enable the LPD Print Service in Windows, you can connect to the share using the same syntax as SMB but on the Mac you would use the LPD as the protocol.
    If you can reply with the brand and model of printer you have then we may be able to provide more information.

  • I updated the epson printer drivers like it asked, only to find out that my epson 1400 is not compatible on 10.8, the original driver worked fine, but now it prints terrible, how do I re-install back to original?

    Do you have a TM backup or a clone? If so, erase the drive and restore with TM or clone back.
    If not you'll have to reformat and re-install the OS that shipped with your Mac. If it shipped with Lion or ML you can do the restore from your Recovery Volume
    EDIT: I assume you are saying that you just installed 10.8?

  • What happened to the CUPS printer drivers?

    I have an older HP Inkjet that worked well with the printer drivers that were available (and still are if you look online) with the CUPS.  Where have these driver's gone.  Is MacOS going the way of Windows, where each new update breaks old working things?
    Is there a way to report this omission to Apple?  I think it is a bug.
    OA

    They're still around. Have you downloaded the HP printer drivers package from Apple? You should also check the Gutenprint drivers for older printers and try HP's support site for an appropriate driver.
    Go to Apple Feedback to report your complaint.

  • HT1338 after upgrading to Mountain Lion the HP printer drivers for my C4680 are not found on the Mac store (per my Mac Book)

    My computer cannot install a printer after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have downloaded the HP printer drivers from the Mac Store. I click on add printer on Print and scan, the printer is connected via USB. I get a message that the drivers on not on Mac Store and cannot be installed.

    True, not part of the list.
    An older printer? You can only try contacting HP. Note that Apple is only the "distributor" of these drivers; HP as the vendor develops them. Or not...

  • How does the "Windows 10 is free for its 1st year" offering affect licensing for enterprise customers paying Software Assurance?

    At the keynote on 21 January 2015, there was an announcement that Windows 10 was going to be a free upgrade for the first year of its release.
    As an enterprise customer,  I'd like to know about the impact of this announcement on Software Assurance. How is the cost of Windows changing for the enterprise?

    You are entitled to your opinion, that doesn't make it correct.
    Personally, I'll go with Ed Bott since he has a much closer relationship

    "One thing's for certain: you won't have to pay Microsoft an additional

    perpetual license that's good for the supported life of the PC, and there's
    no plan at this time to offer Windows as a subscription."

  • How does the window selected on the spectral measurements express vi affect the output?

    I'm using the spectral measurements express vi to find the power spectral density of a fairly broadband signal. I've already discovered a bug in the express vi; it doesn't divide the power spectrum by the equivalent noise bandwith for the window as it should. However, even after taking this into account by using the scaled time window vi to divide this factor out, the PSD is still changing with the window. How can I get the PSD to be constant with varying windows??

    I would like you to prove the "bug" that you're describing by creating an example that shows the calculated and the expected results. By opening the code of the "Spectral Measurements" Express VI you can dig into the heart of the calculation, and there (in the "ma_FFT Power Spectrum and PS Density no State.vi") you will see that the Power Spectral Density indeed IS calculated by using the formula PSD = (Power Spectrum/(df*Noise Power BW of Window)). See the attached PSD.jpg that shows where the calculation happens.
    The Power Spectral Density is supposed to be dependant of the chosen Window. Please read chapter 5 "Smoothing Windows" in the "La
    bVIEW Analysis Consepts" manual.

  • ITunes 11 how can the window background colour be changed from white to black in Grid View?

    How do I change the window background colour ,in Grid View, from the new, default, white back to the good old, more easy on the eye, black?
    Apple did this to us in iPhoto some time ago and had to add a preference for shades of grey other than white. Why didn't Apple learn from this mistake?

    It is good to know I am not alone. The first thing I did after downloading iTunes 11 was go into preferences to change the background color. But alas, the option for a dark background is gone. I also was kind of disappointed in the lack of ability to resize the artwork, but not to the extent of some other commenters here.
    I will say this though. I love the way the albums expand with custom colored backgrounds based on each album's artwork colors. This looks fantastic. Still it would be nice to accomodate those who prefer to use a dark background for the overall application's theme.
    So, Apple, I join with my fellow users in requesting the return of resizable artwork, and the option for at least a dark (or an even further customizable) background color for the overall theme of the application. Thanks!
    Godspeed,
    Nuckels
